Ricky Martin Talks About His Role In Versace ‘Crime Story’ On FX | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@Covenfan-lg4mx]

The guy they picked to play Versace looks exactly like him in costume, their resemblance is uncanny

[@angelc2343]

He's really attractive out of character..Edgar Ramirez

[@luisalvarez8187]

His name is Edgar Ramirez, and yes indeed he looks like a clon of Gianni Versace.

[@danielletaylor5103]

Covenfan1234 sure is!!!!!

[@Ladypeace12312]

Yeah and the guy playing Andrew cunanan looks exactly like him. All this characters are very similar to the real dudes

[@bleau9584]

Annie Siphan Apart from Donatella. But, Penelope’s acting was amazing.

[@jessicaang878]

Ryan Murphy pulled off the most perfect cast for this miniseries, but the character of Andrew Cunanan played by Darren Criss is the most powerful role in the miniseries and Darren Criss is very worthy of an Emmy nomination/win.

[@RaymondHng]

We'll have to wait until July when the Emmy nominations are announced.

[@elcanbu5610]

He got it! Yesss

[@deerheart87]

Yes he was fantastic

[@sito7186]

Penelope Cruz as Donatella is a joke

[@mgs9136]

Totally agree.

[@bluedancelilly]

In the whole intro, when they list the all star cast, they never mention Darren Criss, the star of the show? Really?

[@charlotted1321]

They only list Penelope Cruz, Ricky Martin and Edgar rimerez when legit Darren Criss held the whole show together

[@fiestasalsa2988]

I WAS LEGITIMATELY JUST GOING TO SAY THAT

[@deerheart87]

True he was the absolute star

[@NicoleSheila]

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT OMG

[@allysonkathryn5014]

I think she doesn’t know really who Darren is

[@carloscastVeVo]

THEY all did amazing!

[@bernicereyes1004]

Ricky Martin is super handsome and with a great heart. Good interview!

[@SABOREAME68]

Ricky Martin is AMAZING... and the only actor that could have portrayed Antonio D' Amico, with such honor and respect is totally sublime what this human being as an artist has bestowed upon us; with his music and acting abilities.

[@majesty16monroe2]

Loved this Interview. Ricky has a Beautiful soul and is he aging in reverse? What an handsome looking man!😍😍😍

[@janinaleedelrio]

In love with Ricky since he was in Menudo. A great soul and spirit 💕🇨🇦🇵🇦🙏🏾

[@saravaezi2001]

@Ana Martins we all age. And he is still beautiful. Inside and outside.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Ricky seems to be such a kind, thoughtful, decent human being... Also, great interview, Megyn did a nice job

[@isina19]

Eugeniya Leshenko

[@mrbells8998]

i feel sorry more for the family of the other men that were murdered as the murder of gianni totally overshadowed them and no one seemed to care about their deaths.

[@anniyang6887]

Usually Megyn hates most of her interviews, but she LOVED this one! Good to see her happy for a change when interviewing!

[@LyricsThatFly]

I Love You I Love You who cares about her

[@georgexfekete]

2:53-2:54 does anyone else hear someone’s phone ding 😂😂😂 wtf

[@ronabregu3283]

at first i thought it was my phone

[@jordanabeaulieu2530]

Obviously the FBI chose to look the other way and this is why that terrible tragedy happened.

[@IconicCutz]

Gillian Landry the justice system tend to do that when it comes to domestic violence

[@alexesluniverse8367]

Gillian Landry totally agree and totally hypocritical and sexist. A pity and a crap.

[@deerheart87]

@@IconicCutz and gays

[@collegejus]

Literally one of the kindest people on earth. God bless you Ricky!

[@mipoorboy1478]

There is something so special about Ricky Martin! That elusive indescribable cliche “it factor” radiates off of him-its almost viable. Plus watching him act in such a difficult role that required him to explore so many levels, all of which he did masterfully, has given me such a new level of respect for him! I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve fallen in love with him again!

[@Angely001]

He is so humble and kind 💙 love you Ricky 4 ever

[@ambrosiafarms]

That is so nice to see someone trying to make good rise out of tragedy, at every turn, Ricky Martin is the light! Meghan did a nice interview!

[@arlottonick]

Darren was absolutely breathtaking. Unbelievable acting.

[@ellekristelle4911]

Ricky 😍😍😍 Watching this interview made me smile, Ricky seemed so kind and honest ♥️

[@janielimones8858]

I binged watched this yesterday. It was an amazing show. Great job coordinating the actors.

[@marcosjuarez7809]

The Assassination of Gianni Versace miniseries will be bone chilling as ever because it scare the living daylights out of me. And Ricky Martin still has not lost his touch after all these years since his chart-topping song "Livin' La Viva Loca."

[@anagl2105]

Ricky IS the BEST 💜

[@Irsi_Montero]

Loveeee Ricky Martin💙🙌🏼 kind loving heart he has!!! excellent interview!!!

[@JJ-bs5bo]

Ricky Martin is so special!!

[@ortograf597]

The last name is Not Ver-sa-cee, is /Ver sah cheh/, when people pronounce /Ver sa chee/ for Italians sounds like people were saying another last name, "Versaci". Think about it, we don't say /Dol chee/ for Dolce & Gabbana /Dol cheh/

[@NellieKAdaba]

I agree, I hate it when they pronounce Italian last names wrong.

[@V.E.R.O.]

They apply their own rules of pronunciation instead of pronouncing it the way it should be. They do the same with Spanish words/names.

[@juanisimo7]

Even Ricky Martin says "Versaci"...

[@manatees9823]

And how many spanish or other foreign language speakers are can't pronouns English word correctly! Americans still understand. ..

[@MrTiggerr84]

Oh blah blah blah blah blah that is so petty!

[@misscurrypuff7290]

he's still handsome..gosh!

[@larein7692]

Ricky is such a class act!

[@pattykochenower4222]

I just love Ricky Martin, he’s so down to earth. He’s gorgeous, kind. Congratulations on your wedding!!! I’m so happy for you both. You make an amazing couple. He’s a lucky man!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@blue7cat10]

Great interview by Megyn, and Ricky is so cool. Can't wait to see the series!

[@Ernie1978]

Great interview.

[@soulsnatcher4452]

LOVE YOU RICKY MARTIN! 😍😄He did a great job in the series 👍

[@Nino4073]

Ricky Martin, decidedly one of the best looking men that has ever walked this planet!!!

[@klarakeilingova3523]

Ikr 😍

[@kimquinten5298]

Definitely!!!!!

[@alecmiller6066]

Very nice interview!

[@Jarnagua]

I was amazed at how Ricky Martin CRUSHED this role. I hope he does other movies. He has legit acting chops.

[@Kenandave]

I absolutely love how Ricky Martin carries himself and how he presents himself. His husband is just as fine and interesting as he is on every level. Glad to see him happy. Proud of what he is doing for my Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I'm watching The Assassination Of Gianni Versace and the third installment comes on tonight. The disappointment is that Ricky's character & the character of Gianni Versace are not the vocal points. They are co-stars to that of the murderer Andrew Cunanan. played by Darren Criss. I would much have rather watched something showing me more about the designer and his love affair. I pick up this strange aloofness from their family towards the public. Makes it a sure thing for me that I will not wear his clothes. What is life on that level if you will not share the truth of your story with the masses? Just shows how fragile a man is that hides behind his ego & success.

[@yumifuentes4381]

Good for u Ricky. We are just a vessel. Woman or man. What lies is our immortal soul It has no gender. What you said about Love is very accurate!

[@spreadthelove77]

Yummy Yum Yum Absolutely beautiful words. You just made my day👌🏼😀❤️

[@Valerioraschiamare]

Great interview Megyn!

[@Greatest1979]

I love Ricky. Such a sweetheart! A beautiful man, inside and out.

Ricky. Puerto Rican Royalty ♥️ love my people.

[@andyvanm1]

Third World Shithole

[@self_proclaimedbitch5326]

ANDREW VAN What makes you think Puerto Rico is third world

[@andyvanm1]

I have been there and beyond the good hotels,the place is a welfare basket case...dirty and broken before the hurricane hit it.

[@self_proclaimedbitch5326]

ANDREW VAN Ya in order to for a county to be third world the country must be poverty stricken Puerto Rico isn't poverty stricken

[@stevenrobinson7722]

He’s South American not Puerto Rican he was born in Venezuela 🇻🇪

[@Greeneyedgeny7]

Ricky is one of the kindest and humble people I’ve had the honor of meeting 🦋

[@NarutoShino69]

Congratulations Ryan Murphy!!! The resemblance of the characters is UNCANNY!!! Great job Darren Chris!!! Edgar Ramirez is soooo Gianni! And Penelope, is sooooo glamorous.

[@zivaray]

Love RICKY

[@TheAmandaMAYshow]

I watched the series twice and I barely found out that Penelope Cruz played Donatella 😂

[@da96103]

Despite all the criticism that Megyn Kelly gets about her views, she is quite good at her job.

[@cyanure7]

Amazing cast. Ricky is such a great human being.

[@kimberlychanelgraziano8953]

I wish the American Crime Story would touch base on selena life but I know her family wouldn't allow it...

[@alexandersanchez9860]

Kimberly Chanel Graziano Versace didn’t allow this tho

[@veeliciousdinners5713]

I just realized that was him in the movie omggg he did such a great job 😊

[@vilmaryv]

Love this interview 👍🏻🥰👏👏👏

[@chantalxox]

I love him and how humble he is.

[@gihankanishka]

Love this man A well done interview 💐

[@SCLana]

Movie is fabulous but sad and scare. Great job!! Thank you.

[@janyou17]

Its a bit weird coz andrew cunanan is half Filipino and Darren Criss who played his role is half Filipino as well. Astonishingly they Are both similar.

[@arwen7755]

It's not really weird- one of the reasons Darren was cast was because he was half-Filipino in real life. Ryan Murphy wanted to keep the ethnicity of Cunanan as much as possible

[@3333alex]

watch his Actors on actors interview. He begged to play this part ha :p

[@Winnipegger]

Does anyone know when this story will be released on DVD? They've released the Menendez brothers story, so would love to see this released! Very tragic and disturbing story!

[@LayllasLocker]

If police/FBI did a good job, Versace would never been killed.

[@aa0750]

FACTS FACTS FACTS. He already killed 4 people and they took too long and sadly took Versace

[@elblass1]

I've never met a Puerto Rican that wasn't humble, down to earth and with a good sense of humor.

[@sweetpea601]

Penelope really looked like beautiful Donatella

[@de-graftboakyeyiadom8307]

This series was actually really dark. It made feel depressed when watching it. But Darren did a great job too

[@chelseaoocandy]

Me too. I can handle dark stuff but this is just too hard to watch. I had to just stop half way.

[@Elfangel85]

Thank you for spoilers.

[@stafonvoncamron]

The Versace family sounds horrible for what they did. They are taking in all Of Gianni's money and still using his product line and name to make $$$ , Instead of closing down the company after he died (because lets face it, It was Gianni's company not theirs) and not following his will and proving his love what he put in his will.

[@V.E.R.O.]

Actually half of his fortune went to his niece who was 11 y/o at the time. She suffered a lot because of his death and now as an adult suffers from anorexia and is very vulnerable emotionally.

[@linday2009]

That philipino murder was crazy af.

[@malpete]

linday2009 American filipino but more American than filipino as he was born and grew up in American culture , if he grew up with filipino culture most probably he won’t be a serial killer , and pls get some education by not murdering the spelling of Filipino

[@thomasbarrientos2516]

So was that AMERICAN Jeffrey Dahmer

Gianni Versace murdered by Cunanan? Hard to believe. Antonio D'amico was one of the most handsome men there were around, but He was never accepted by Gianni's brothers so that Donatella and Santo very homophobic. They didn't deserve neither Gianni, nor Antonio. Ricky Martin is very polite, so sweet and beautiful but not Antonio D'amico's half beauty
