Enrique Iglesias en pince pour George Clooney

12.07.2007

Dans son dernier numéro, le magazine américain HX publie une interview très gay d'Enrique Iglesias, dans laquelle le chanteur revient, entre autre, sur le concert de Londres où il avait invité un garçon à monter sur scène et l'avait enlacé (voir la vidéo).

To tell you the truth, I was surprised it was such a big deal. I’ve read a few things, and even when the owner called us up to ask us, he kind of had that attitude of, “I might as well try, but I don’t think he’s gonna do it.” I was like, “Yeah, it’d be cool to do it!”

Do you have any gay friends?
I know a lot of gay people, and there are about two or three that I’m really close with. My front of the house engineer who I work with literally 24 hours in the studio and who actually produces a lot of my songs, he’s gay and he’s one of my best friends. I really respect him. I’ve known him for eight years, but he didn’t tell me he was gay until two or three years after we started working together. It’s funny because the minute I found out about that gig I called him up and said, “Carlos, man, you’re gonna love this gig!” He was excited.

Do the gay rumors ever bother you?
I don’t give a shit. I’ve never cared about the gay rumor. It’s so stupid. It’s funny because people are always infatuated with that. A lot of the guys that say that are the typical guys that are insecure with themselves. I’ve heard so many rumors about so many people being gay that it’s ridiculous. I’ve sure you’ve heard a million.

If you were into guys, who would be your type?
If I was into guys? [Laughs] That’s a good question. Oh, dude, I don’t know what to tell you.

Ricky Martin?
No, I don’t think so. What, he has to be Latin just because I’m Latin? [Laughs]
I would have to go with the George Clooney type. Yeah, say that I’m lusting for George Clooney.

Au moins, il sait plaisanter sur le sujet !
