What ever happened to Rico Suave from “Hannah Montana”? These are the whereabouts of former child actor Moises Arias. (Photo: WENN)
Moises is now rocking a fairly awkward mustache. Still can’t grow a full beard, Rico? (Photo: Instagram)
But if you’re not into the teenage-looking mustache, perhaps you’ll appreciate more his insanely defined abs! Never thought I would say it, but Rico looks hot! (Photo: Instagram)
Young little Rico is now 24—a perfectly legal age to enjoy a cold bear every once in a while! (Photo: Instagram)
And perhaps a cigarette or two every now and then too? (Photo: Instagram)
His early 2000’s hairdo has gone through some (major) changes… (Photo: Instagram)
The dreadlocks have now reach uncharted territory! (Photo: Instagram)
James Sparrow, is that you?! (Photo: Instagram)
Jackson who? Nowadays, Moises hangs out with celebrities like Jaden and Willow Smith, Jordyn Woods, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner. What a squad! (Photo: Instagram)
Although this picture with former “Hannah Montana” co-star and TV bestie Jason Earles says differently… (Photo: Instagram)
His days as surf shop owner are long gone. Moises is now working behind the cameras, directing music videos, which include all of his good friend Jaden Smit. (Photo: Instagram)
But despite all of the above, Rico’s Surf Shop will always hold a special place in Moises’ heart—and closet, apparently. (Photo: Instagram)
Remember Rico Suave? The young manager at the local surf shack, who also happened to be Jackson’s boss? Rico was best known for his wicked schemes, manipulative, arrogant persona, and, of course, his iconic evil laugh.
And though his quirky role in Disney’s hit show helped him find fame and rise among the ranks of Hollywood’s young stars with roles in Ben-Hur and Enders Game, Moises Arias looks nothing—and we mean NOTHING—like you remember him from his days as Rico.
But regardless of the dreadlocks, the smoking, his new gang, or the fact that he’s all grown up and turning 24 today (O-M-G), to us, Arias will forever and always be Rico Suave from Hannah Montana. So you can go ahead and try, but there really isn’t much you can do about that, Moises… MUAHAHAHA!
