«Hey, hi, I’ve been meaning to say this for a long time… I’m gay, and it makes me very happy to say it,“ began the 32-year-old actor in his, now popular, video where he was comfortable and happy to come out.

«I know it’s not a surprise, but I had been questioning myself for a long time because, despite the fact that I had been trying to make it clear as much as I could deliberately, I have never dared to say the words as they are,» continued the actor from the comedy show Me caigo de risa.

«I could not hold my boyfriend’s hand for fear people would do something to us»

“This way I wouldn’t have to face their prejudices. I couldn’t hold my boyfriend’s hand for fear that people would do something to us,” he continued in the video that has over 50,000 ‘likes’ on Instagram.
