    Ricky Martin has been cast in 'Versace: American Crime Story'

    The 45-year-old singer will play Antonio D’Amico, the partner of fashion designer Gianni Versace in the TV series, which is set to tell the story of the murder of Versace by the serial killer Andrew Cunanan in July 1997.


    The series is being produced by Ryan Murphy and the team behind 'The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story' and 'Katrina: American Crime Story'.

    Gianni's sister Donatella took over the fashion empire following his death and is the current Vice President of the Versace Group.

    She will be played by Penelope Cruz, with Édgar Rarmirez as Versace and Darren Criss as killer Andrew Cunanan.

    Meanwhile, Ricky recently called his eight-year-old twin sons, Valentino and Matteo, his toughest critics and said they often give him advice on how he can improve his music performances.

    He said: "They travel with me everywhere and they sit backstage and they look at my show every night. One day one of them went like, 'Daddy, what happened tonight? I didn't like this part. Yesterday was better, last night was better.'"

    Ricky also opened up about his engagement to longtime boyfriend Jwan Yosef, saying: "I'm really happy."

    Asked how he met his fiancé, he added: "He is a conceptual artist and I'm a collector, and I saw his art on the Internet and I contacted him. Then we met and everything's been perfect."
