Ricky Martin on Career and His Sexuality
The 39-year-old singer announced his sexuality to the world on his website last year, and said that he waited so long because he had to be seen to be straight to attract women.
Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he explained, 'Being Ricky Martin back then and what I was feeling were not compatible. I was the sex symbol and I needed to dance and I needed to make girls crazy and I couldn't say that I was gay. It was a lot of struggle.
'If you add to that whether you call it culture, religion, society but what I was feeling, according to what I had in my mind, was evil and I'm very lucky today that what I have in my mind is love and I'm very happy.'
