London,
(ANI):
Ricky
Martin,
who
opened
up
about
his
homosexuality
earlier
this
year,
has
revealed
that
he
struggled
with
his
sexuality
as
a
child
as
well.
He
said
he
was
forced
to
flirt
with
female
fans
of
his
boyband
Menudo
when
he
had
strong
attraction
towards
men.
The
'Livin'
La
Vida
Loca
hitmaker
admited
hiding
his
true
emotions
under
wraps
was
a
tough
task
growing
up
under
the
spotlight
and
he
often
wrestled
with
feelings
of
confusion.
"I
think
you
know,
you
feel
attraction,
you
feel
a
chemistry.
It's
not
like
you
know
you're
in
love
with
a
guy,
but
you
feel
a
chemistry," the
Daily
Express
quoted
Martin
as
saying
on
The
Ellen
DeGeneres
Show.
"Obviously
that's
not
what
you're
supposed
to
be
feeling,
that's
not
right.
Your
church
says
it's
wrong.
You're
12
years
old
and
a
rock
and
roll
star
and
you
have
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
call
the
attention
of
the
girls,"
he
added.
He
further
explained
that,
“as
an
adult,
it's
confusing
at
times,
imagine
when
you're
struggling
with
all
those
emotions
when
you're
12."
