Michael Bublé was seemingly feeling too good during NHL All-Star Weekend festivities on Thursday … and he’s chalking it all up to taking way more mushrooms than he signed up for.
The 48-year-old Canadian musician — who’s a celebrity captain for the All-Star Game — spoke with the media following the Player Draft at Scotiabank Arena … and as he fielded questions, he abruptly claimed he was spaced out on psychedelics.

“My buddy told me, this is just a microdose of mushrooms and he was LYING,” Bublé said … adding the drugs made him feel like he was in a Will Ferrell movie.

“So, I’ll be honest, I thought I was in ‘Blades of Glory’ for most of the time that I was out there, until it sort of settled down and then I realized, ‘Holy s***, I am in the NHL All-Star Game.”

Actor Will Arnett — who was up onstage with Bublé — took it all in stride … and the two joked his admission lost him a lot of endorsement money.

Despite the hilarious moment, Bublé later backtracked on his statement at dinner after his All-Star appearance … saying the whole thing was an attempt to be funny.

“It was a joke,” Bublé said alongside YouTuber Steve Dangle. “Of course I wasn’t [on mushrooms]! I’m sitting here at dinner. I do have a problem with bread. When I get anxious, I can’t stop eating it. But no, not mushrooms.”
The NHL is pulling out all the stops with the star power this All-Star Weekend … with Justin Bieber and Tate McRae also joining in on the event.
