‘Fuller House’ Star Juan Pablo Di Pace Opens Up About Accepting Himself as Gay

Juan Pablo Di Pace is sharing a message of acceptance.

The 39-year-old Fuller House actor spoke at a TedX event in March, which was published on YouTube at the end of Pride Month.

“Acceptance was my fuel, and when that is the case, like an addict, you do whatever it takes to get a fix. I figured if I changed my f–t self, I could be in,” he told the crowd.

Pablo also spoke about playing Jesus Christ in the 2015 NBC series, A.D. The Bible Continues.

“Many years later and still justifying my being gay with my critic, I get offered the role of a lifetime: Jesus Christ. Well, you know, of all the people in the world that could play this part, they gave it to me. So there I am, hanging on the cross…in Morocco…and I look up at the sky, and I think, ‘You could still strike me down with lightning. Are you sure you want me to play your son? Instead, what I felt was an overwhelming feeling of love and acceptance and freedom that I could never even put into words. A message from God? Maybe,” he explained.

Watch him speak out inside…
