London, Feb 25 (Inditop.com) Popular singer Shakira has opened up about her decision to cast Rafael Nadal in a new music video and insists she picked the tennis ace to be her leading man because she “identifies” with him.
The Colombian singer had sparked reports of a new romance with Nadal when they were photographed meeting together, shortly before filming a steamy promo for Shakira’s new single “Gypsy”, reports dailystar.co.uk.
“I thought that maybe I needed someone (in the video) I could relate to in some way and Rafael is a person who has been totally committed to his career since he was very young and I identify a lot with him,” said Shakira.
