– Have in mind that I am not a homophobe. Was happy. Do what you want. But I, as a heterosexual man, if I can prevent my son from becoming gay so I will do it,” he said in the show according to the People.

Declared – but without the excuse

When he 2015 commented on the joke in an interview with Rolling Stone, he asked never to apologize, but stressed instead that it was about his own fears:

–.I think of what I would have done as a father, I had done something wrong, and if, what in that case? he told Rolling Stone.

– Not that I will not love my son or think differently about him. The fun in the joke is that it is I who gets mad at my son, because of my own insecurity. I got panic. It has nothing to do with him, it's all about me.
