He may be better at singing than he is at acting, but Singing Macho (SM) is versatility personified where his sexual pursuits are concerned.
Years ago, SM, who was rumored to be Affluent Macho’s (AM) main squeeze till they got tired of each other, is as flamboyant as the projects he appears in. But Former Acquaintance (FA) told us in confidence that SM was a “frisky” kid, even back when he was in high school.
“One time, he was caught smooching with a batchmate—yes, a girl—in the school premises,” FA recalled. “So, these same-sex stories about him being circulated are a surprise to me. Oh well, whatever makes SM happy…”
These days, even if SM is still considered an equal-opportunity “offender,” he prefers to sow his wild oats with persons of the same sex. Nothing wrong with that, if you ask us. But that doesn’t make his “evolution” any less fascinating.
