robertascroft: It was a Monday in January and Ricky Martin was in town to do press for ACS / Versace… and he had appeared on The Golden Globes the night before. From the discussions happening on set it sounded like everyone had been at parties til late in the night. What is pretty amazing is that he looks like this…. does he ever age??! An amazing team with him to keep him looking good but sometimes you are just blessed with good genes.

Ricky Martin’s success spills over to the Strip

The last time I spoke with Ricky Martin, he was a bit emotional. Mostly anxious.

His nerves were getting the best of him as his acting skills were about to be on full display. Martin was one of the stars of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, the tense TV anthology exploring the murder of the iconic designer that aired in the first quarter of 2018 on the FX network. The international pop star played the role of Antonio D’Amico, a model and designer and Versace’s longtime partner.

“It was very challenging, a very dramatic story and I had some really insanely deep scenes,” he said. “I get a little emotional just talking about it because the level of focus you need to do a good job as an actor portraying a man suffering the loss of his partner, it’s heavy.”

It was a big job, but he wouldn’t want it any other way. Martin is a born performer, a fact that’s obvious to anyone who’s seen his show All In at Park Theater at Park MGM. “I said yes to the role because we need to talk about this and shed some light on this story,” he said. “It feels great every time you finish a scene but it’s also very nerve-wracking. Once you do the shot, you can’t go back.”

Since Assassination aired to great reviews—86 percent on Rotten Tomatoes—Martin has returned to his electrifying residency on the Strip and continues to thrill audiences with English and Spanish hits. He also released the fiery new single, “Fiebre,” with reggaeton duo and fellow Puerto Ricans Wisin and Yandel and returned to Las Vegas yet again to open the Billboard Latin Music Awards at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

robertascroft: For this cast photo of ACS / Versace I wanted to create some distance between them metaphorically. I asked the amazing Edgar Ramirez to start walking and his movement created new meaning for each of the others performance in the photograph. I had photographed everyone at least once prior to this shoot and I find great pleasure when I have a report with a cast and they trust you to push the boundaries a little. #castphoto #acs #versace #rickymartin #edgarramirez #penelopecruz #emmy #darrencriss

robertascroft: Inspired by a vintage Versace campaign I photographed the cast of American Crime Story / The Assassination of Gianni Versace. I wanted to shoot them in a way I knew no one else was going to for this show. I wanted edgy rock and roll style. Leather, Jeans , Boots which are all a staple in my own personal wardrobe. I had imagined listening to CBGB’s type music onset but instead I was pleasantly surprised by a singalong by Penelope Cruz and Darren Criss doing “Father Figure” by George Michael… it was inspired and to be honest I wouldn’t have changed that moment for anything. #acs #versace #fx #emmy #penelopecruz #darrencriss #rickymartin #edgarramirez
