Seemingly in his element, Jon swung his legs and arms back and forth before jumping up and down with a massive smile on his face as Bad Bunny performed Daddy Yankee’s hit song Gasolina.

While Jon’s wife, Anna Osceola, was clearly just as excited, as she had an NFL jersey with “Bad Bunny” written on the back.

Snapping a video of the Mad Men actor, the official NFL TikTok account wrote: “Jon Hamm vibing to Bad Bunny on the field”.

Amassing 3.5 million views and almost 300,000 likes, fans thought his moves were hilarious – with some jesting it gave them the “ick”.

Others weren’t surprised to see Jon so happy with the performance, as they noted that he’s actually a huge fan.

“Jon Hamm goes to damn near every concert that Bad Bunny performs at. He’s a huge fan,” wrote one user.

Another said: “Jon Hamm is living his best life on that field”.

“THATS WHAT THE FANS WANNA SEE,” wrote a third.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, rose to fame a decade ago and has been dubbed the “King of Latin Trap” since.

It’s not the first time Jon has been seen enjoying Bad Bunny’s music, with the actor admitting in August last year that he’s a “huge fan”.

He admitted at the time: “You can’t listen to his music and not smile. He’s a really nice guy. He’s funny, and he’s fun and his music is awesome.”

Bad Bunny rocked the iconic halftime show slot during last night’s superbowl, which saw the Seattle Seahawks reign victorious.

The Puerto Rican’s spicy performance included raunchy dancing and close-up making out which the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home lapped up.

The performance also featured special guest appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

Meanwhile global stars like Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba and Cardi B – girlfriend of New England Patriots star Stefon Diggs – danced on stage as part of the spectacle.

Missing statue of golf legend Ballesteros found chopped in pieces in Spain | Golf News

A man has been arrested by police in Spain after they recovered a stolen statue of the late golfer Seve Ballesteros.

A ‌statue of the late golfer Seve Ballesteros, which ‍had vanished ‍from his hometown of Pedrena in northern Spain’s Cantabria region, was found chopped into pieces as the alleged thief prepared to sell it for its ⁠bronze, police have said.

Valued at about 30,000 euros ($35,820) ​but holding significant sentimental importance for locals and ‍fans, the statue was discovered in a storage room in Santander. It had been cut in half at the waist.

Police had focused their investigation on metal trading centres, suspecting the ​thieves planned to sell the bronze ‌for profit.

The 100kg (220.46-pound) statue, depicting Ballesteros in a signature pose celebrating his 1984 British Open win at St Andrews in Scotland, ‌was torn from its base in La Barqueria Park earlier this month before being ‌dragged across grass and dismembered for ⁠transport.

Created in 2009 by sculptor Salvador Garcia Ceballos, it was permanently installed in Pedrena in 2017.

Ballesteros, who won five major titles during his ‌career and became a fan favourite for his capacity for digging himself out of trouble on the golf course, ‍died in 2011 aged 54 after a battle with cancer.

Emmerdale legend scores soap hat-trick as she joins cast of Hollyoaks months after Coronation Street role

AN Emmerdale legend has landed a soap hat-trick as it’s been revealed she’s joined a rival soap as part of new storyline.

Channel 4 bosses have cast the 54-year-old actress with the intention to include her in a forthcoming storyline.

It’s been revealed Glenda is playing a new character named Dr Pearce, though it’s currently unclear how long the soap star will remain on the show for.

The soap star’s exciting new casting was confirmed in a post shared by the talent agency Red Door Management.

They said in a post on social media: “Tune into Hollyoaks at 7pm this evening on E4 to catch Red Door’s Glenda McKay as Dr Pearce.”

Glenda’s Hollyoaks role comes just months after she appeared in a guest stint on rival soap Coronation Street.

On the cobbles, Glenda played a social worker named Alison Hale who was dealing with street couple Tim and Sally Metcalfe as they fought to foster the Michealis’ children following their mum Lou’s imprisonment.

The actress left Emmerdale over 25 years ago when she was killed off in a memorable storyline which saw her brutally pushed off a cliff.

She spent more than 11 years on the soap and appeared in almost 750 episodes.

Her character, Rachel Hughes, was embroiled in a number of the show’s biggest storylines from affairs to having a secret child.

Glenda’s final storyline saw her enter a toxic relationship with teacher Graham Clark. He coerced her into dressing differently and forced her to dye her hair in an attempt to mould her into his dead wife.

Twisted Graham then attempted to force himself on her as she tried to break up with him.

He later chased Rachel and cornered her on a clifftop, she confronted him, and Graham ultimately pushed her to her death.

The evil teacher then lead Rachel’s friends and fellow villagers to believe that she was missing.

Since leaving Emmerdale in 1999, Glenda has only landed a handful of TV roles including guest stints on Hollyoaks and Doctors.

In 2005, Glenda appeared in Coronation Street for one episode as a love interest of cabbie Lloyd Mulaney (Craig Charles).

But in recent years, the former soap star made a startling career change as she ditched acting to work as a primary school teacher.

The star played on tracks such as Bob Marley’s Punky Reggae Party and Dave and Ansell Collins’ classic hit Double Barrel.

But he was better known for his work as one half of iconic production team Sly & Robbie.

The duo produced popular tracks for industry giants including Bob Dylan, Grace Jones and Ian Dury, and reggae stars like Peter Tosh and Black Uhuru.

His wife Thelma told local media she found him unresponsive on Monday, before his death was also confirmed by his team.

Tragedy as ‘Dancing With The Stars’ choreographer is found dead at home

Sly, whose real name was Lowell Fillmore Dunbar, was born in Kingston, Jamaica.

He started out playing on tin cans – getting inspiration from Lloyd Knibbs and the Skatalites on television.

The star previously said in a 1997 interview: “I saw [Knibbs] playing and I thought, ‘I want to be a drummer’ because he’s the hardest worker in the band.

“He’s my idol! In some ways, I’m self-taught but I got a lot of help from other drummers by watching them play.”

When he was a teenager, he founded the rhythm section of the band the Revolutionaries alongside bassist Robbie Shakespeare, who died in 2021.

They became one of the most renowned backing bands in Jamaican reggae in the 1970s.

Sly became known for his shuffling “rockers” drum pattern, which put more emphasis on syncopation and energy.

Throughout the decade they also worked with major reggae acts like Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown and Barrington Levy.

The rhythm section also toured in the US with Peter Tosh.

In the hopes of saving enough cash to found their own production team, the pair lived on bread and water during this period, according to legend.

They founded Taxi Records in 1980, before helping a whole new generation of Jamaican artists such as Shaggy, Shabba Ranks, Skip Marley, Beenie Man and Red Dragon refine their art.

The pair also provided beats on Grace Jones’s hit 1981 album Nightclubbing.

This paved the way for them to work with some of rock and pop’s biggest stars – from Bob Dylan and Joe Cocker, to singers like Marianne Faithfull, Madonna and Sinead O’Connor.

Sly’s heartbroken wife told local media: “I went to wake him up and he wasn’t responding, I called the doctor and that was the news.

His exact cause of death is unknown, but he is understood to have been ill for an extended period of time.

“Yesterday was such a good day for him,” Thelma told Jamaica’s Gleaner newspaper.

“He had friends come over to visit him and we all had such a good time. He ate well yesterday… sometimes he’s not into food.”

She added: “I knew he was sick… but I didn’t know that he was this sick.”

Tributes poured in for the late musician, with British DJ David Rodigan, calling him a “true icon” and “one of the greatest drummers of all time”.
