Ricky Martin Talks Navigating Hollywood After Coming Out in 2010: ‘Would You Ask Brad Pitt If He’s Afraid’ of ‘Being Typecast as a Straight Man?’
Ricky Martin revisited his biggest career moments -- including navigating Hollywood after coming out in 2010 -- during CAA's Amplify summit.
Martin discussed his role in Apple TV+ ‘s ( newly-renewed for Season 2) “ Palm Royale,” and opened up about his major career milestones, including his impact on Latin American music in the United States, and LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream spaces. After gushing over his experience as a headliner for LA Pride, Martin shared it was his father, Enrique, who gave him the push to eventually come out as gay in 2010 — just a few months before the release of his memoir, “Me.” “I was going to sabbatical right after [performance] that but I guess life had a big surprise for me.” Martin added that night gave way to “a wonderful crossover into American mainstream,” which was “something I always wanted, and it was something that I was, of course looking forward to, coming from Puerto Rico.”
