The three stars—familiar faces to many for their roles in Red, White & Royal Blue (Perez), Love, Victor (Cimino), and The OA (Perea)—took their social media followers on a journey beyond the usual celebrity glam. In a series of posts, they showcased not just their dazzling smiles, but also the unfiltered joy and meaningful moments from their trip to the island.
And while the gym selfie was enough to break the internet, the full story they told went beyond aesthetics. This was a trip that blended friendship, music, culture, and community service—showing us all that they’re much more than just pretty faces.
A Trio in Sync: Dancing, Laughing, and Living the Moment
As much as we love a good selfie, what made this trip feel truly special was how these three stars let their guard down. Yes, they’re beautiful, but they’re also human, and that human side showed up in full force. Taylor, Michael, and Brandon weren’t just posing for the camera—they were living in the moment, letting loose in the crowd at Bad Bunny’s concert.

The pictures from that night didn’t just capture celebrities being “on”—they captured them being raw and real, sweaty from dancing, lost in the beat, and fully enjoying the experience.
It was refreshing to witness the actors, usually seen through the lens of polished red carpets and meticulously curated Instagram posts, just being regular people for a change. No filters. No perfect lighting. Just real joy.
A Star-Studded Getaway With a Purpose
But it wasn’t all just about partying and fun. Perez, Cimino, and Perea weren’t in Puerto Rico just for the glamor and sun—they were also there to raise awareness about important issues. Perez’s Instagram post made sure to highlight how Bad Bunny’s concerts have become a massive economic and cultural event for Puerto Rico.
With an estimated 600,000 visitors coming in for the residency, the economic impact is huge: $200 million in tourism revenue and $36 million in tax revenue. These aren’t just concerts—they’re game-changers for the island’s economy, something the trio made sure to emphasize in their posts. By shedding light on these facts, they made it clear that Puerto Rico’s music scene is more than just entertainment—it’s a vital part of its cultural and economic identity.
Giving Back: More Than Just a Vacation
What’s even more remarkable is how Perez, Cimino, and Perea used their trip to shine a light on causes that matter. Zakhar Perez didn’t spend all his time in front of the camera—he took the opportunity to meet with local organizations making a difference.
He visited the Villalba correctional facility, where he spent time with young men in need of guidance and support. Through Fundación Rimas and the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Perez reflected on the resilience of the incarcerated youth and shared a message of hope for their futures. It wasn’t just a photo op—it was a commitment to understanding and amplifying the voices of the marginalized.
Cimino and Perea also took the opportunity to get involved with local initiatives. The trio visited Escuela con Causa and Vagón Estudio, organizations working to bridge educational gaps in Puerto Rico through creativity and mentorship. Their visit was a reminder that there’s more to being an actor than appearing on screen—it’s about using your platform to uplift others. It was evident that these stars wanted to give back, not just enjoy the perks of their celebrity status.
A Bonus for the Fans: Beach Photos to Remember
And as if we weren’t already spoiled enough by their adventures, Michael Cimino threw in a little bonus for fans—beach photos with Brandon Perea, looking effortlessly cool while soaking up the sun. Let’s face it, we all appreciate a little beachside eye candy to round out the vacation vibes!
