Ricky Martin is certainly Livin La Vida Loca with his new hairstyle.
The 90s singer debuted his bold new look while attending his first ever Venice International Film Festival over the weekend to promote his new Spanish movie, âHombre Al Agua,â which translates to âMan Overboardâ in English.
The 54-year-old looked as refined as ever as he suited up for the event in a fancy Giorgio Armani white silky blazer and black trousers.
But while it was business down below, it was party on top with his new âdo.
Quite the departure from his usually spiked, brunette hair, Martinâs style is now a much lighter buzzcut.
Even the singerâs facial hair looked noticeably lighter as he posed on the red carpet with co-star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Gael Garcia Bernal, who also directed the movie.
In the comedy-drama, Bernal stars as a Cuban lifeguard named Camilo whose life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues a powerful Mexican businessman named Abel from drowning in the Caribbean Sea.
As a thank you, Abel brings Camilo to Mexico and the hero lifeguard ends up marrying Abelâs daughter.
Martin â who is also the movieâs executive producer â plays Roby in the film, an actor hired to portray Camilo in a biopic within the story.
Bernal recently praised Martin for his role in the film. Speaking to Deadline just weeks ago, Bernal said he had Martin in mind for the role but wasnât sure he could land the global superstar.
âRicky was one of those wonderful accidents,â Bernal told the outlet.
âHe was the first person I imagined for the role, but it seemed like such a crazy, almost impossible idea that I kept his name to myself for most of the development process.â
âThe part only required one day of shooting, so we kept saying, âWeâll find someone.â Then, shortly before we started shooting, I managed to get his number and called him. Before I had even really explained the project, he said, âWhatever you want.ââ
âHombre Al Aguaâ is Martinâs first full Spanish-language film role in more than two decades.
The two-time Grammy winner most recently appeared in the 2014 TV drama âPalm Royaleâ alongside Kristen Wiig and Josh Lucas.
Martin also starred on the award-winning series âThe Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Storyâ in 2018, playing Antonio DâAmico, the long-term partner of the fashion designer.
