The dancing “grass” performers at Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl halftime show were paid, and now we know how much money they made! If you didn’t realize, all of the “grass” featured throughout the performance was actually people in costume. Keep reading to find out more… According to Andrew Athias, as told to Business Insider, one of the roughly 500 field performers revealed they earned $18.70 per hour for the gig. “I found the grass gig through a company called Backlit, which handles finding extras for the halftime show. I found it last year when I saw Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl halftime show, but I forgot about it until Bad Bunny was announced as Super Bowl’s headliner in October, and I decided to apply,” Andrew explained. “My part was actually really easy. They just told me where to stand, and they said, ‘Don’t move. Stand here and be one with the grass.’” Sports business reporter Darren Rovell did the math and tweeted that the “people inside trees were paid $18.70 an hour for 70 hours of work ($1,309). Included 8 days of rehearsals + Game Day.” Andrew said he flew in from Philadelphia and spent about two weeks in San Francisco rehearsing for the show, including several 12-hour practices wearing the 40-plus-pound grass costume. “The suits were heavy and uncomfortable. 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,” the extra said. “It was really cool to see Bad Bunny perform just a foot away. But because he was in LA for the Grammys during some of our rehearsals, the crew had a Bad Bunny stand-in they called ‘Good Rabbit.’” The casting call reportedly required performers to be between 5′ 7″ and 6′, athletic and comfortable dancing in close quarters for long periods. Despite the long hours and heavy suits, he said the experience was worth it, even joking he’d do it for free to be a part of Bad Bunny‘s historic performance.
