Fred Rogers forged close bonds with "Mister Rogers" co-star Francois Clemmons, but now Clemmons is opening up about how the late icon encouraged him to not reveal that he was gay.

In his new memoir titled "Officer Clemmons," the 75-year-old singer and actor describes Rogers as his mentor. Officer Clemmons was a familiar face to viewers of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" from 1968 to 1993, according to IMDB.

In the book, Clemmons recalls being called into Rogers' studio for a chat.

“Franc, you have talents and gifts that set you apart and above the crowd,” Clemmons recalls Rogers telling him, according to People. “Someone has informed us that you were seen at the local gay bar downtown. Now, I want you to know, Franc, that if you’re gay, it doesn’t matter to me at all. Whatever you say and do is fine with me, but if you’re going to be on the show as an important member of the Neighborhood, you can’t be out as gay.”
