"Not an ICE Detained Boy"... Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Partner Revealed to be Child Actor

A touching moment from the Super Bowl halftime show turned into a misunderstanding. Rumors circulated that the young boy to whom Bad Bunny handed his Grammy trophy was a child detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but this was found to be untrue.

On the 9th (Korean time), foreign media outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter and NPR reported that the boy who appeared during the Super Bowl LX (60) Halftime Show on the 8th at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, is a professional child actor named 'Lincoln Fox Ramadan'.

◆ Misunderstanding Created by the "Blue Bunny Hat Tragedy"

The origin of the rumor stemmed from the similarity between Bad Bunny's political stance and a recent incident. On January 20, a 5-year-old boy named Liam Ramos was captured being taken away by ICE agents while wearing a blue bunny hat, causing public outrage. When Bad Bunny handed the trophy to the boy on the Super Bowl stage, telling him to "believe in yourself," the public was convinced that this boy was Liam.

However, according to confirmations from TMZ and Lincoln Fox's Instagram, the boy on stage was an Argentine-Egyptian mixed-race child actor. Lincoln Fox hinted on social media that he played Bad Bunny's childhood, posting "A day to remember forever" along with the hashtag #youngbadbunny.

◆ Where is the real Liam?

Contrary to public expectations, the real Liam Ramos remains in a harsh reality. A representative from the public school Liam attended in Columbia Heights confirmed to NPR that "Liam and his family are currently in isolation and did not attend the Super Bowl." Due to the Trump administration's strict immigration policies, the family's asylum hearing date was moved up from the end of February, and they are set to appear in court on the 13th (local time) due to a judge's rescheduling. Depending on the outcome of the hearing, Liam's family faces immediate deportation this weekend.

Instead of making direct political statements, Bad Bunny shouted, "May God bless America," and named various Latin American countries, delivering a subtle message of unity. The glamorous show has ended, but the crisis faced by immigrant children represented by 'Liam Ramos' is ongoing.
