Riley Green Says He's 'Very' Competitive, Pokes Fun At 'The Voice' Coach Adam Levine On Red Carpet

Riley Green spoke about his "fun, competitive" experience as a first-time coach on The Voice just before Adam Levine crashed his red carpet interview.

Green, 38, caught up with Extra ahead of the first live show of The Voice's milestone 30th season. The country star said, "it's a really fun, competitive show," and he's "very" competitive.

"It's interesting because, you know, we're all pulling for all the artists. We want to see them do well. We want to see them have a career beyond this. But we also want to win the show. So, you know, we're rough on each other, but we have a good time."

Extra asked, "who do you rough the most with?" And Green quickly replied, "Adam, for sure."

"I just remind everybody how old he is as often as I can," he said.

Shortly after that, Levine crashed the interview.

"He's literally almost 40, and he makes fun of me and I'm 47," Levine said.

"Adam was actually in Maroon 1," Green joked of the Maroon 5 star.

Levine reacted, "You know what's so crazy? I've never heard anyone make a joke like that. That's so unique. …I wish I got a younger, sexier country guy to mess with."

Green joined The Voice as a coach for the first time along with Queen Latifah. Levine returned to the show alongside Kelly Clarkson. The next episode of The Voice will air at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Monday (November 16). It will air on NBC and will be available to stream the following day on Peacock.
