More Xuxa? This video features Latin superstar Ricky Martin when he was starting his solo career. He wouldn’t make the jump to success in English until the end of the decade. Xuxa made the attempt only a few months later, and failed utterly. But at the time of this appearance Xuxa was the superstar, and Ricky Martin was the kid who used to be in Menudo.

Screech who? HMMM, yes, Mario! Yes, those drive-through dimples. Plenty of fantasy fodder there. Uh, whu? this is a family forum? Sorry! heh, heh, heh ..
Hi Jean! You mean Mario Lopez. He is a cutie. My 79-year-old aunt said she likes his dimples. I thought he was cute on “Saved By The Bell” and knew the older he got the hunkier he’d be. He had always been athletic and it shows! It’s hard to believe he’s in his 30’s now. I’m glad he didn’t turn out obnoxious like his co-star Dustin “Screech” Diamond! 😡
Ricky looks exactly like Erik Estrada in this shot! One Latino boy who stops my heart: that cutie who was on “Dancing with the Stars.” YOW! They NEVER show him without a shirt now. He used to be a child actor here in the states, and then went on to host “Pet Stars” on Animal Planet.
