Ricky Martin sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to discuss his upcoming role in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace (Towleroad will be providing recaps of this show) and a few other topics including Puerto Rico, his kids, and going to the Golden Globes for the first time.
Martin is clearly excited about the upcoming series, and says he reveals his “tush” for the first time on television.
“You sure do,” adds Ellen, “more than that!”
Martin added that the show also talks about the state of LGBT rights at the time, and the fact that serial killer Andrew Cunanan was ignored for many months by police who looked the other way because the victims were gay men.
