Bruno Mars Revisits Childhood Home in Hawaii, Says Place He Grew Up 'Didn't Have a Bathroom'

Bruno Mars learned at a very young age that you can find happiness without material possessions.

The "24K Magic" star takes a trip back to his humble childhood home in Hawaii on this Sunday's 60 Minutes, a one-room building in a park that now is grown-over by plants and missing a roof.

"Just so people don't think we're crazy, it did not look like this. It had a roof, it didn't have plants growing on the inside," the 31-year-old singer shares. Though he does admit, "Where we were staying at first didn't have a bathroom, so we'd have to walk across the park to this other spot that had a bathroom."

Despite living in poverty, Mars insists his memories from growing up are "the best."

"Maybe that's why I have this mentality when it comes to the music," Mars adds. "I'm gonna figure it out."
