Former Glee actress Charice sat down with Oprah Winfrey for OWN’s Where Are They Now? series and talked about her sexuality and gender identity.

“I knew when I was 5,” the actress — who came out as gay in June of last year — said in the clip. “I was in grade school, and I saw this girl, and I felt different. I didn’t know what it was, but I just knew that time, like it felt special. And when I was 10, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s it. I’m gay.’ I found the word.”
