It has been challenging, but we’ve spent all week scouring Instagram to bring you this week’s Instahottie: Gilles Rocca.
Say hello to Italian actor and LGBTQIA+ ally, Gilles Rocca. He may be best known for his roles in the Italian TV series Don Matteo and I Cesaroni, as well as the film Metamorfosi. He is currently starring as Santiago in Rome’s Moulin Rouge: The Musical.
In 2020, he won the Italian version of Dancing With The Stars, Ballando con le Stelle, and competed on the Italian version of Survivor, L’lsola dei Famosi.
In a recent interview on the Italian TV show Ciao Maschio, the Italian actor and director revealed that, while he identifies as straight, he wouldn’t rule out a same-sex romance if it felt right.
“If I were to be attracted to a man, there wouldn’t be any problems,” said Rocca. “Would I give myself to a man? Well, if I liked a man, yes, absolutely, I’d accept his advances; I wouldn’t have any problems.”
He continued: “I like women. But I’m absolutely open; in fact, I don’t even think it’s a question of openness, but rather that it’s a natural thing. That is, respecting your instincts, what you like, what you feel.”
