Strict requirements for people who were the moving bushes in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show

A man who performed in the Super Bowl halftime show has revealed the strict requirements he had to meet in order to participate.

Bad Bunny's halftime show was watched by hundreds of millions of people across the world, with the Puerto Rican rapper celebrating love and diversity throughout his 14-minute show.

Despite some claims that more might tune in for the rival 'All-American show' hosted by Turning Point USA, it turns out that most people were interested in watching the Grammy winner, especially when he brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin as his special guests.

A wide range of celebrities made an appearance during the show, but it was the collective effort of everybody involved that made it such a spectacle, and a lot of thanks can go to the bushes.

You'll have noticed that the stage was covered in greenery in homage to the 31-year-old's hometown of Vega Baja, but what you might not have realised is that the grass was actually real people in costume, which in an era of CGI and AI is a refreshing change.

Around 500 people were hired to depict the shrubbery in the Super Bowl, and one of the lucky participants has now lifted the lid on how he became involved and what was expected of him.

Andrew Athias - who goes by The Reese's Guy online - travelled nearly 5,000 miles from Philadelphia to take part in the historic show.

Much like playing a tree in the school play, there's actually a lot more to the role than you might think.

Andrew revealed on X that you had to be between 5'7 and 6', have an 'athletic build' and more importantly 'be able to wear a 50lb costume for 5+ hours', which frankly doesn't sound all that fun at all, especially with the routine that he will have had to learn perfectly and the thought that one wrong move could see you fall over in front of Jessica Alba while dressed as a bush.

Despite all that, Andrew seemed to think that keeping his role secret was one of the hardest things he was asked to do.

He told Business Insider: "They made us sign an NDA to not talk about it or post anything on social media for two weeks.

"So when I saw people posting about what his setlist was going to be, it was so hard to have so much knowledge and power and not be able to do anything with it."

Although the experience might well have been enough for some people, Andrew was thankfully paid for his time and travel, earning $18.70 per hour for the gig, which included dress fittings, as well as dress rehearsals.
