‘Glee’ star Charice speaks out about sexuality to Oprah: ‘My soul is like male’

A year after coming out as a lesbian, former “Glee” star Charice Pempengco speaks candidly about her sexuality in an upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey, telling the TV mogul, “My soul is like male.”

The 22-year-ancient singer, who came publicly on Filipina TV last June, tells Winfrey in an episode of the show “Where Are They Know” that she knew she was gay when she was 5-years-ancient , but wasn’t able to fully know it in anticipation of a few years later.

“I was in grade school and I saw this girl and I felt uncommon,” the Filipina singer said, according to an E! News clip.

“I didn’t know what it was but I just knew that time, it felt special. When I was ten I was like, ‘Oh, that’s it. I’m gay.’ I found the word.”

Winfrey questioned whether Pempengco, who is best known in the states for appearing on “Glee” in 2010 but is a pop phenom in Asia, ever considered getting a sex exchange.

OWN TV Pempengco spoke to Winfrey for an upcoming episode of ‘Oprah: Where Are They Now?’

“Not exactly transitioning to a male, but basically my soul is like male,” Pempengco said.

“But I’m not going to go through that stage where I’m going to exchange everything, not exchange my body.”

“I would exchange, like this look, cut my hair and wear boy clothes and everything, but that’s all,” said Pempengco, who sports a accurate-cropped blond ‘do for the interview.

Pempengco guest-starred as exchange student Sunshine Corazon on the second season of the hit Fox series.
