Clay Aiken Talks About Fatherhood, Coming Out
‘Entertainment Tonight’ correspondent Jann Carl went one-on-one with Clay Aiken, who talked candidly about being a doting daddy to his baby son Parker and about his decision to reveal that he is gay. The ‘American Idol’ season two runner-up also talked about why he decided to reprise his starring role of Sir Robin in Monty Python’s ‘Spamalot’. “I think we’ve been not necessarily surprised,” Clay said of the reaction to his sexual preference revelation. “I hate to call it an announcement or anything. We kind of just avoided discussing things beforehand and just said fine. You do it the way the press likes to have it done, you like it to be sensationalized. But it’s been very natural I think, and we’ve been very surprised. Of course that first week I was terrified to come out here on stage, that first Friday, thinking ‘Just get ready for your bow, you’re gonna get booed.’ I was totally ready without question.” Watch it below the fold.
