Ricky Martin's Nude Instagram Post Is The Definition Of A Thirst Trap

Ricky Martin is heading back to Las Vegas for another leg of his residency in March and he announced his return to the Sin City stage with one hell of a thirst trap on Instagram. In fact, we can't think of a thirstier way to make waves than his post on Thursday (January 4).

In the post, which has garnered more than 496,000 likes and 16,000 comments at time of press, Martin appears entirely naked as he holds a white towel in front of his goods inside of a bathroom. "A moment in Vegas. . . We are back to Vegas! Get your tickets NOW," he captioned the hot shot. Martin is set to return to his residency stage at The Park in mid-March, where he'll continue performing until the end of the month and throughout select dates in May and June. Later on in the year, Lady Gaga will join the Latin heartthrob as the newest residency performer at the venue alongside Cher and Bruno Mars. Click here for more information on Martin's residency.

If you want to set your sights on more Ricky sooner than the March return, make sure you check him out in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, which premieres January 17 on FX. In the mini-series, he plays Versace's partner Antonio D'Amico while Édgar Ramírez plays Versace, Penélope Cruz portrays Donatella Versace and Darren Criss serves as Andrew Cunanan.

In his recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Martin said that it's a story that "needs to be told." "We're going to go mainstream with a story that talks about homophobia, that talks about hate, that talks about indifference. I feel humbled. It's so raw and honest and so dramatic and sad," he explained. "But at the same time, you show the love of Versace and D'Amico and 15 years of struggling, fighting. It's something that I really wanted to be loud about."
