Cristian Castro might have a change of heart when it comes to his profession as a singer.

After nearly 25 years in the music business, it seems as if Castro has a new calling –he said so during a recent visit to Chile.

The Mexican romantic-pop singer participated at Festival Huaso Olmue, where he not only sang his chart-topping hits, but also remembered his “sexy” picture that went viral early 2014.

“I didn’t know I was going to become so famous with that photo,” he said of the snapshot he once tweeted wearing nothing but a banana hammock while posing with a masseuse.

“Well, they gave me a massage and I showed off a little bit of my butt,” he recalled, according to many news outlets. “Out of nowhere, I had 14,000 retweets.”

While sharing his weird anecdote, the 40-year-old star had a revelation.

“Perhaps I have the wrong career and my calling is to do nudes,” he stated. “I like being the Miley Cyrus of Mexico, I like it a lot.”

Yes. Cristian Castro –son of Veronica Castro and “El Loco” Valdez– compared himself to Miley Cyrus, the pop star exhibitionist. Quite frankly, he might have a point.

Both stars have a carefree personality, they both speak their mind and do as they please.

Not to mention the least, they’re OK with showing the world their encantos. Case closed.
