Rico Rodriguez, 26, wowed at the Netflix premiere of Cobra Kai in Los Angeles, looking unrecognizable from his childhood role as Manny Delgado on Modern Family. The actor, who shot to fame at just 10 years old, stepped out with his sister Raini Rodriguez at the star-studded event.
Rico’s matured fashion sense was evident in his ensemble, consisting of an Off-White denim jacket, black t-shirt, and trousers, paired with black rimmed glasses. The actor’s long curly hair do and beard added a touch of sophistication to his look.
The Modern Family alum has come a long way since appearing on the sitcom from 2009 to 2020, alongside a talented cast including Sofia Vergara, Ed O’Neill, and Sarah Hyland. Rico had previously appeared in smaller roles on shows like My Name is Earl, Nip/Tuck, ER, and NCIS.
As his beloved TV family said goodbye, Rico shared his feelings about the show’s conclusion: “It’s going to be tough… they’re my second family.” The actor looked forward to starting new projects and adjusting to life without his on-screen family.
The evening also saw the special moment of Cobra Kai stars Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser revealing their engagement. The couple, who met while working on the show, shared a heartfelt message with their fans, expressing gratitude for love and support.
