Really fun interview! They talk about ACS and his EP. This was the best i could do in terms of sound quality. Hope it’s ok! 

The question of the couple and love, especially in the LGBT community, is also a topic that interested Ricky Martin in the scenario of American Crime Story: Versace. “In discovering who Antonio d’Amico was, I found similarities with him, I’m in love, I believe in love, loyalty and family values … (…) Gianni could leave his briefcase on the floor because Antonio was there to pick everything up, there was such love between them, and I understand that,” he said. In addition, the series is an opportunity to discuss homophobia, still strong at the time (the 1990s). “There was homophobia, hatred … Some of these issues are still relevant, and our mini-series is important in that sense so that we do not forget and remind viewers that crimes against the LGBT community are always perpetrated,” adds the artist.
