Rico Rodriguez, the 26-year-old actor from Modern Family, recently attended the series finale premiere of Cobra Kai at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. At the event, he posed for photos with his sister Raini Rodriguez.
The young actor has come a long way since his Emmy-winning ABC comedy debut in 2009, when he was just 11 years old. The character Manny Delgado, who was portrayed by Rodriguez, was known for his neat appearance and button-down shirts. However, in real life, Rodriguez has adopted a more laid-back style, sporting a beard and curly hair.
At the Cobra Kai premiere, Rodriguez wore a black T-shirt, jeans, and a dark denim jacket. This marks a significant departure from his straight-laced character. The event also saw another Modern Family alum, Gabriel Iglesias, in attendance. The comedian appeared in a 2018 episode of the show as an ex-boyfriend of Gloria Vergara’s character.
Rodriguez’s transformation from his TV days is evident, and it’s clear he has grown into his own style. With his new look, he may not resemble Manny Delgado as much as fans remember him.
