    The ex-MMA porn star dad of the beast accused of killing five people in a gay club massacre said: “Phew, my son’s not gay” when he found out about the tragedy.

    Aaron Brink, the father of shooting suspect Anderson Aldrich, was told about the brutal attack when his child’s lawyer rang him to say Aldrich was under arrest.

    But instead of turning his minds to the victims of the senseless shooting, he was just relieved to hear his son wasn’t gay himself.

    He toldCBS8news in an interview: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting involving multiple people.

    “And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I said, ‘God, is he gay?’ I got scared, ‘S**t, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, ‘Phew.”

    He added that his family “don’t do gay” before boasting: “I praised him for violent behaviour really early. I told him it works, you’ll get immediate results.”

    The shocking video shows the 51-year-old, who fought in mixed martial arts cages and appeared in adult films, looking jittery as he speaks to reporters.

    Despite his homophobic views, Brink did add: “I’m so sorry guys for your loss. With no regard to politics, it’s human life. I’m so sorry. My soul goes out to you.

    “Life is so fragile, and it’s valuable. Those people’s lives were valuable.”

    The November 19 shooting, at the Club Q venue in Colorado Springs, left 25 people injured alongside the five who tragically died.

    Cops named the victims as Raymond Green Vance, Kelly Loving, Daniel Aston, Derrick Rump and Ashley Paugh.

    Anderson Aldrich, 22, will remain held without bond following a court appearance Wednesday.
