The renowned Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin marks his long-awaited return to Spanish-language acting with the film Overboard, a production directed by and starring the Mexican actor Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal. In addition to his role in front of the cameras, Martin has taken on a key role as an executive producer on this project.<\/p>\n\n
Martin’s integration into the cast was kept under wraps during the filming that took place in M\u00e9rida, Yucat\u00e1n. The singer joined the team shortly before filming began, marking his first role entirely in our language after more than twenty years of a career focused mainly on international productions in English.<\/p>\n\n
The story of Hombre al Agua centers on Camilo, a Cuban lifeguard played by Garc\u00eda Bernal, who rescues a Mexican businessman with political ambitions. After this event, Camilo is taken to Mexico to become the businessman’s right-hand man, subsequently marrying his daughter. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers realities different from those he imagined.<\/p>\n\n
In this context, Ricky Martin brings to life Roby, an actor hired to portray Camilo in a biographical film. As revealed by Garc\u00eda Bernal himself, the Puerto Rican was his first choice for the character, managing to secure his participation after a direct proposal before the start of filming.<\/p>\n\n
With ‘Hombre al Agua’, Ricky Martin returns to his acting career in Spanish, adding to his experience a fundamental role in executive production alongside an international-caliber cast.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
