It has been tough, but weโve spent all week long scouring the depths of Instagram to bring you this weekโs Instahottie โ Polo Morin.
Polo Morรญn, is a Mexican actor and model who you may recognize from the Netflix hit show, Who Killed Sara?
The actor, who is poised to star in the Amazon Prime Video rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue, recently opened up about the trials and tribulations of his life living as a closeted man.
In an interview with Attitude, Morรญn revealed that he was blackmailed in 2014 after his nudes from a webcam session were hacked. Thankfully, though, the hacked footage didnโt show who Morรญn had been camming with.
The actor recalled:
โThey couldnโt see who I was with. I thought, โYeah, well, I was masturbating. We guys masturbate. So sorry for that.โโ
At the time, pictures of Morรญn and his then-boyfriend were shared all over social media, which resulted in the actor being outed as gay.
The Red, White & Royal Blue star explained:
โI was already talking about [coming out as gay] with my bosses and my producers, because it was something that I did want to do for younger Polo, because I never had that example in my youth. I wanted to be that person for someone else. But I was not ready, because I was really scared that I would never work again in Mexico.โ
Morรญn is currently filming the live-action adaptation of Red, White & Royal Blue for Amazon Prime Video with a cast featuring Uma Thurman, Sarah Shahi, Nicholas Galitzine, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Rachel Hilson, Stephen Fry, and Thomas Flynn, among others. No word yet on the official release date.
