While Martin is easily a music legend, he has people talking with his latest acting role. Martin portrays Gianni Versace’s lover Antonio D’Amico in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. Martin talks to Ocean Drive editor-in-chief Jared Shapiro about the role.

Returning to Miami to film the show, Martin explains, “It’s amazing. I lived in Miami for almost 15 years. For some reason I had never gone inside the Versace Mansion. But now that we were there, I understood why. Because I guess the purity of me walking in for the first time, working on this character, was of impact.”

The 46-year-old performer continues, “The house is beautiful. They keep it as a boutique hotel, but they work very hard to maintain it as Gianni had lived there, and to be honest, I felt Gianni’s presence everywhere. I’m not trying to be spooky here, but his art and his taste is everywhere in the house. It helped us a lot.” Read more on OceanDrive.com.
