For three years in elementary and junior high school in Fairfield, Conn., John Mayer spent almost every afternoon playing Nintendo with his childhood pal, tennis star and Olympian James Blake, PEOPLE reports.

John Mayer not a girls man in school

"Just about every day he was at my house, and we'd play Nintendo games, like Joe Montana football, all the time," says Blake, who was in fifth grade when the two became best buds.

"John was pretty good, but I played a bit more than he did," Blake told PEOPLE.
Blake, also revealed that girls weren't swarming around them back at Fairfield High School.

"Absolutely not!" says Blake, with a laugh. "I don't know what he likes to tell about his high school experience, but mine was very different from the way life is now.

"I was about five feet tall wearing a back brace [due to scoliosis]," continues Blake. "I definitely didn't have girls flocking around me."
