Man who played moving bush in Bad Bunny’s halftime show reveals how much he was paid

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8 didn’t just dominate the stage — it ignited social media. While the music, choreography, and surprise guests drew praise, one unexpected detail captured the internet’s imagination.

The performance was a vivid tribute to Puerto Rican culture, blending cinematic visuals with nonstop energy. But amid the spectacle, viewers became fixated on the massive green “field” surrounding the stage.

At first glance, it looked like tall grass or sugarcane. It wasn’t. The swaying greenery was actually made up of people.

More than 500 dancers were disguised as plants, standing motionless to create the illusion of a living sugarcane field. The detail went unnoticed by many until clips began circulating online.

One performer, Andrew Athias, revealed he flew in from Philadelphia to take part. The role required an athletic build and the ability to wear a 50-pound costume for hours. His main instruction was simple: don’t move and “be one with the grass.”

Secrecy was the hardest part. Performers signed strict non-disclosure agreements and couldn’t discuss the show for weeks. Despite earning about $18.70 an hour, Athias said the experience alone made it worthwhile.

Another dancer, José Villanueva, described the moment as overwhelming, saying standing on the field during the show nearly brought him to tears.

The performance also sparked wider debate. While some public figures criticized it, others defended its cultural significance, noting its celebration of Puerto Rican life and Spanish-speaking communities.

From human “grass” to symbolic gestures and surprise appearances, Bad Bunny’s halftime show continues to unfold online — proving that sometimes the smallest details leave the biggest impression.
