Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny left it all on the field during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show, but hundreds of extras concealed in plant-like costumes made their own mark during his spirited performance.

At one point during the exuberant set at Levi’s Stadium — a dynamic tribute to the culture of his native land — the Grammy-winning singer was surrounded by bunches of dancing grass. One of the people who donned the swishy green garment was content creator Andrew Athias.

In a social media post following the halftime show, Athias wrote: “FINALLY let the cat out of the bag....or the grass.” He also revealed that he had flown from Philadelphia to Santa Clara, California, for the gig that had internet users talking on Sunday night.

Athias, a self-described “big” fan of Benito’s music, told Insider that he was paid $18.70/hour for the job, and the company that hired him sought people who met certain height and athletic requirements. The performers needed to be able to wear a costume weighing more than 40 pounds (which extras were fitted for), and comfortable dancing close to others, he explained.

“They didn’t tell us we’d be wearing a grass costume and kept it super vague,” said Athias, according to Insider.

“The suits were heavy and uncomfortable,” Athias added. “Every now and again, you’ll have a blade of plastic grass going places where grass should not go. Fortunately, we were given some protective goggles.”

Athias said a production crew was on hand to make any adjustments to their plant-like garb as the extras geared up for the show, with the final three practices lasting 12 hours apiece.

Other extras have revealed their part in the show, as well, including Instagram user @vicivoli, who called it the “best day ever” in a behind-the-scenes video showcasing the hours leading up to the performance.

The dancing bunches of grass, which were nestled between fake sugar cane and palm trees on the field, stemmed from an idea by the production crew to avoid damaging the natural grass at Levi’s Stadium during the intermission of the big game.

NFL guidelines dictate that the crew must use no more than 25 carts to move equipment onto the field, according to Wired, rules that led producers Bruce and Shelley Rodgers to come up with a workaround to create the atmosphere that Bad Bunny intended.

Late Monday, Jose Andres Camarena shared a snap in front of the Mexican flag while wearing his grassy hand accessories from the halftime show.

He told HuffPost that his grandfather grows sugar cane in Mexico, which made the show “even more meaningful” to him.

“When he walked through those sugarcane fields… 👑🌱 That hit different. For every familia that’s worked the land, who left something behind to chase a dream — this moment was for us. Latino culture front and center on the world’s biggest stage, unapologetically in Spanish. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇷,” the performer wrote in a post to Instagram.

“Grateful to be living a full-circle moment my ancestors led me to. From the field of dreams to the world stage. 🇲🇽🤍 Thankful for my grandparents. Without their risk and dedication I would never exist. I love them so much ❤️.”
