The actor reiterated, “A lot of the best people… most of the best people I know happen to be of that persuasion. Happen to be gay. Best people I’ve known.”
He added, “So, kung ayun lang inaano, hindi insulto para sa akin yun. So, anyway, I don’t mind hearing it. It’s not the truth, but it doesn’t bother me.”
