Ricky Martin teases that he’ll be getting naked on American Crime Story

'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' is set to debut later this month (January)

Ricky Martin has revealed that he’ll be stripping off in American Crime Story. 

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is the follow-up to the BAFTA winning The People Vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

The ten-episode miniseries will retell the shocking July 1997 assassination of Gianni Versace on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion by killer Andrew Cunanan. Penelope Cruz will play Donatella Versace in the Ryan Murphy-produced series.

During an appearance on Ellen this week, the popstar-turned-actor teased that viewers will get to see a whole lot of him when the show hits TV screens later this month (January) – more specifically his “tush”. 

“You guys have to see. It’s really good,” teased the hunky star. 

DeGeneres then appeared to suggest that’s not all fans will be setting their eyes on, adding: “More than that!”

We’ve never been more excited for a TV show. 

American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace premieres January 17 in the US, and the series will be airing on BBC2 in the UK.
