Ricky Martin has been confirmed as both a cast member and executive producer for Gael García Bernal's upcoming film Hombre al Agua. The news came as a surprise, as the singer's involvement had not been widely reported until now.

His character, Roby, is an actor hired to portray the film's protagonist in a movie-within-the-movie. This marks Martin's first fully Spanish-language role in over two decades.

The film will premiere at the Venice Film Festival and then screen at the Toronto International Film Festival before opening in Mexican theaters on September 24th.
