En 40 años de carrera ha demostrado su poder para poner a bailar al mundo con su ritmo latino, y cuando entona una balada, también a cantar. @ricky_martin @RMwebteam pic.twitter.com/sS0hICmN3MA post shared by Callum Walker Hutchinson (@callumwalkerhutchinson)In the accompanying interview, Martin got candid about relating to playing a closeted gay man in the ’60s in the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale.“There are many people who go through this life with a lot of pain and it is because they cannot accept their sexual orientation and there are people who die unhappy.
I remember the fear I had when imagining what a totally open and transparent self would be like in front of the cameras. It scared me,” he told the outlet. “And I, within what we can consider freedom, was someone with a lot of privilege, because I was well off financially, I had already achieved all the things I had achieved.
