That is perceptive of you, because in this country men dancers have always been viewed with suspicion. If you were an actor, a star, and a dancer, you had to be, or have a name like someone mainstream.

If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.

Valentino was apparently gay or bisexual. And his two lesbian wives. But without any question, he had sex with men. From choice. So he was one or the other.

I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe.

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing here.

I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies - I didnt have to be a gigolo. In real life.

We Latins make splendid lovers and splendid older men.
