Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl on Sunday nightOne of the most touching moments in Sunday night’s Super Bowl Halftime Show saw Bad Bunny sharing a moment with a young boy, before handing him his recently-won Grammy award.And the directors behind the show have revealed there was a touching detail in this sequence that you might not have even realised.During a recent interview with Variety, creative director Harriet Cuddeford explained: “The story behind that was Benito’s idea. He’d grown up watching his idols on TV getting awards. In his life now, he stands on stage and gets given awards by his idols.“He knew the Grammys were coming up, and he was hoping to win something. And then obviously he won Best Album last weekend. And so, he really wanted to inspire the next generation.”Bad Bunny presents a child performer with one of his Grammys during Sunday night’s Super Bowl Halftime ShowCuddeford pointed out that the child actor was intended to represent Bad Bunny’s younger self, which is why he was dressed similarly to an old photo of the Puerto Rican singer and rapper as a boy.“This is really representing a younger version of himself,” she added.As for the actual award statuette, Cuddeford admitted that she’s not sure whether or not Bad Bunny bothered to get it back once the performance was over.“Knowing him, he might have just left it with the kid, honestly,” she quipped.Meanwhile, a widely-shared theory that the child in question was a five-year-old detained by federal immigration agents was debunked shortly after the Super Bowl.In their joint Variety interview, Cuddeford and the performance’s director Hamish Hamilton have been taking fans behind the scenes of Bad Bunny’s show-stopping performance, lifting the lid on everything that went into making it happen.This has included an alarming detail about a stunt performed by the Grammy winner live on air, the way the team pulled off one piece of trickery that’s got everyone talking and an interesting revelation about the 330-strong crowd that shared the stage with Bad Bunny on Sunday night.Elsewhere in the interview, the duo admitted that not everything actually went to plan on the night, with a couple of mishaps taking place that – fortunately! – no one appeared to notice.READ MORE:Even Donald Trump Watched Bad Bunny Over Kid Rock On Super Bowl SundaySuper Bowl Halftime Show Director Makes Alarming Claim About Bad Bunny StuntBehind-The-Scenes Super Bowl Clips Show Surprising Detail Of Bad Bunny’s Performance HuffPost UK – Athena2 – All Entries (Public) Read More
