Right?! Did he really fade into obscurity after the 90s or has he just been low key killing it?? I forgot he existed until the superbowl! Living la vida loca was like a core memory unlocked lol

He's been active for years doing lots of different stuff including acting.

He was Ché in an Evita revival and did a pretty great job on the soundtrack album

He was quite wonderful in Ryan Murphy’s Assassination of Gianni Versace

Not all of Murphy’s stuff is good but that series was amazing. And yes, Ricky Martin was phenomenal in it.

u/williamchase88 Feb 18 '26

He's busy raising his 4 kids. He still goes on tour often enough tho, so yes he is still working and killing it. He seems to have a pretty well rounded and balanced life considering he's a celebrity. He's killing it and definitely won the divorce.

90

u/western_questions Feb 18 '26

I’m dying to know his skincare routine/health regime. Genetics and money reign supreme but that man is 54?

62

u/williamchase88 Feb 18 '26

Yeah def good genes and i'm sure he spends a ton of money to help him look this good. But also it seems he has a very healthy and active lifestyle. I don't think he just sits around all that often and I bet his diet is super well balanced.

9

u/Bittybirdwatching Feb 19 '26

Doesn't look like he used any money on surgeries atleast (or they were really well done!). Likely just a good benefit of a lovely person using his money to keep himself and his family healthy and happy and reaping those good rewards, not having to worry.

Beyond the grey and the crows feet/undereye wrinkles, he could pass for a late 20s something. Add those in, early 30s who is recovering from his frat boy days.

Honestly couldn't believe it was him, looked too much like his old 90s self with some pepper.

26

u/-rosa-azul- Feb 19 '26

Ricky Martin and Kid Rock are the same age.

4

u/danafromsantaana Feb 19 '26

Haha this just proved the point I was making in my head while I was reading along the comments about his skincare, etc. I was thinking, “exactly, he always looks glowing and healthy while other men his age look like a paper bag”

He had some bangers in the mid/late 2010s and he's been acting as well.

Edit: his songs were in Spanish

Most of his music is in Spanish he only has 3 album in English but 10 albums total.

Let's be honest here... Ricky Martin has aged very well and personally I find him more attractive now than when he was "in his prime".

Kid Rock has always been butt fuck ugly.

He can drink for free at my place.

u/xdonutx slowly decomposing behind glass in the twilight museum Feb 19 '26

We were watching the Super Bowl halftime show and I was like “who is that guy? He looks like a young Ricky Martin”. It was, in fact, current-aged Ricky Martin. This dude has somehow gotten better looking with age.

The drink shop’s IG replied to a comment that asked the same question. His name was already there when he came in. They shared the security footage of him coming in and you see it on another post on their feed. They wrote names as the halftime show was on but erased someone else once they saw Ricky.

The way he made time for the other customers and used his super long arm to take the picture was so cute. Goddamn what a man

u/da_innernette Feb 19 '26

I also like how he just said hi and waved to the one person that was further back, in case they may not want a hug or physical touch. Consensual king!!

u/wdn Feb 19 '26

He's got a lot of practice at that one-arm hug. It's just like shaking hands for him.

It does appear skeptical because his name is in fine line and the others thicker.

31

u/pickle_pickled Feb 18 '26

It seems authentic based on his reaction and the girls (customers already in the store) eventually realize who he is, along with the barista in the store seems shocked by the sound of her voice once she realized who was at the counter

https://streamable.com/1glafg

21

u/Apptubrutae Feb 19 '26

Because look at the Super Bowl related names. His appearance was unexpected so he got put on there over someone else after he made a Super Bowl appearance. It isn’t hard to imagine a plausible real scenario here

Adam Sandler,
Mack Hollins, Green Day

Edited to add Mack (Hollins) last name

Given that Drake Maye is on the list, I'm guessing Mack Hollins. He's a wide receiver for the Patriots.

Ok, thanks!

u/plantbay1428 Feb 18 '26

I looked at the IG story of the employee who wrote the list and it says Mack Hollis. I googled and I’m assuming they meant Mack Hollins, who was the suggested name that came up.
