Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Ripped pop singer Ricky Martin took off his shirt, turned his camera toward the mirror, and made some sweet music out of selfie. Fans online didn't miss a beat.
"Showing up, still shaping up!" the 53-year-old singer captioned the Memorial Day snap.
"What's something you showed up for this week?"
Fans were quick to answer - not with replies to the question, but with thoughts about Martin's lean and hunky look.
Admiring messages proliferated amidst the fire signs and heart-eyed emojis. "Youthful, stylish, and admired by many - a true example of how a man can look after 50!" one fan declared. "Elegant, confident, and absolutely inspiring! ❤️"
Another got right to the point with "My God, he is HOT🔥AS 🔥HELL🔥".
"🔥 epic shape brother," one person applauded, while another agreed: "Oh ok 🔥".
Sighed another: "Papi 🔥".
"My brotha is like fine wine!" another cheered, before revealing how Martin had provided inspiration: "Ok ok I start my summer training tomorrow morning!"
Another took the opposite tack to the "aging like wine" notion, writing, "How does he get younger I don't get it".
Martin has been burning up social media for years with smoking-hot selfies. He brought the sizzle to the small screen last year with a recurring role on the Apple TV+ series "Palm Royale."
The "Livin' la Vida Loca" singer is slated for two nights in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace this coming September, after playing dates in late August at the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival) and in Mexico. It might be a long, hot summer for thirsty fans!
