Guess Who! 90s pop superstar looks almost unrecognisable as he touches down in Canberra amid Australian tour

by

He’s a pop icon from the 90s and one of the most successful Latin music artists ever.

He started his music career very young, at just 12 years old, as a member of the famous boy band Menudo.

He began his solo career in 1991 and released several albums before achieving international success in 1999 with his first English album, a hugely popular release simply titled after his name.

The album launched his career to incredible heights, and he’s since sold over 70 million albums around the world.

The pop star is currently touring Australia for the first time in a decade, and at 53 years old, he’s still performing with a lot of energy, delighting fans.

Do you know who it is? It’s none other than Ricky Martin.

The singer behind the hit song ‘She Bangs’ arrived in Canberra on Friday, getting ready to perform at GIO Stadium on Saturday. He seemed to be enjoying the city before his show.

Ricky was almost unrecognizable when he stepped off the plane, sporting a thick beard and dark sunglasses.

He dressed comfortably for the flight, wearing a relaxed-fit white T-shirt that showed off his athletic build.

He also wore a pair of light blue baggy jeans, as well as a jumper that he tied around his waist.

Ricky finished off his relaxed outfit with white sneakers and a black backpack.

Ricky walked to the car with a serious look on his face, clearly concentrating on his performance on Saturday night.

The pop star wasn’t traveling by himself. His 17-year-old twin sons, Valentino and Matteo, were with him on the flight.

The boys matched their dad’s relaxed style, with Matteo wearing a vintage Whitney Houston T-shirt, black pants, and a white baseball cap.

Valentino wore a blue jumper, matching pants, and a pair of white Hoka sneakers.      

Ricky has already performed in Melbourne and Brisbane. After his Canberra show, he’ll finish the tour with a concert in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena on Monday.

He’s traveling to Australia shortly after sharing a suggestive selfie that got a lot of attention from his fans.

Last month, he posted a nude photo of himself on his Instagram story, showing him standing in front of a mirror.

After the Puerto Rican pop star shared a post, some users on X (formerly Twitter), like @thedla36, jokingly accused him of openly pursuing younger partners, with one user tweeting a supportive message about him wanting a new romantic interest.

X user @DCEUndead pointed out that even a celebrity like Ricky Martin seems to crave attention, referencing the popular online term ‘thirst trap.’

X user @MimosConVeneno agreed: ‘This social media attention has grown men in a chokehold.’

‘Is he heading to OF?’ X user @MichelFilion1 wrote, referring to OnlyFans.

A Twitter user, @SaintAleandro, joked that someone is trying to emulate Bad Bunny’s bold fashion choices, but their personality is holding them back.

Ricky, who some say has had cosmetic surgery, is a vegetarian and practices a gentle form of yoga that emphasizes breathing.

He shared on Doctor Oz last year that he learned this technique while living in an ashram in India, a particularly meaningful time in his life, and it has had a significant impact on him.

I volunteered at an orphanage as part of my foundation’s work to combat human trafficking in India.

I started meditating because learning about the experiences of young people forced into prostitution and pornography was incredibly upsetting. It helped me cope with the emotional toll and get through each day. This particular type of meditation has been essential for my well-being, and it’s truly made a difference.
