's showstopping tour has taken the UK by storm, with thousands of fans descending on London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a night of non-stop dancing and singing along to his Spanish hits.

But for some of the hitmaker's newer fans, they may be surprised to see that the Puerto Rican star has undergone an impressive glow-up, over a decade after he first arrived on the music scene.

Pictures of Bad Bunny, 32, from his rise to fame show a man who is a stark contrast to the suited and booted performer that has taken to the stage in London.

Back in 2017 there were no signs of the star's curly dark locks and he instead sported a buzzcut with various patterns shaved into his scalp. 

Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also had a much rounder face and less chiselled jaw when he first made his debut and wore a mouth grill. 

Since then, Benito has switched up his look, and has been sporting a sharp cream suit on his Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour.

Sharing a before and after snap of the star, one fan penned: 'I desperately need to know wich [sic] God Bad bunny prayed to manifest something like this'.

Another shared a video of Bad Bunny when he was younger wearing bright garish clothing and pink shades as they wrote: 'crazy looking at bad bunny now cos this was him when I was introduced to him'.

Others added: 'The way bad bunny got all that surgery and look completely different? Money well spent though. He looks amazing.';

'Nah Bad Bunny’s transformation is immaculate. Wow'.

It is unclear if the hitmaker's changing looks are a result of plastic surgery or weight loss. 

In a viral Instagram Reel in October, aesthetic physician Dr. Jennifer Armstrong said that the star looked 'significantly different' and suggested that he'd possibly had work done on his jawline, along with a subtle nose job.

'One hundred percent he's had a rhinoplasty,' said Dr. Armstrong, who hasn't treated Benito before but is known for working with many of the women from Bravo's Real Housewives franchise.

Analysing before and after photos of the Mia hitmaker, she pointed out that the sloping in his nose had changed and that the tip had been upturned slightly.

Dr. Armstrong also believes that Bunny may have had jawline contouring with fillers, although she did say that his new look could also be down to his weight loss.

Some surgeons online have previously alleged that Bad Bunny had a deep plane facelift — which lifts and repositions deep layers of facial tissue.

However the star is also very into his fitness, recalling how he was even in the middle of a gym session when he got the call for the Super Bowl. 

He told Zane Lowe on Apple Music: 'It’s crazy because I was in the middle of a workout. So I remember that after the call, I just did like 100 pull-ups. 

'I didn’t need more pre-workout shit or whatever. It was very special. It was so special.' 

Away from the stage, Bad Bunny is also a talented wrestler, having won the WWE 24/7 Championship in 2021 after making his in-ring wrestling debut at WrestleMania 37.

His creative director Janthony Oliveras, previously said of the star's commitment to the sport: 'I know it’s always been his dream. He stopped doing everything else. He’s always making music, but he stopped. He stopped doing everything to dedicate himself to this 100 per cent.

He told GQ: 'He trained twice a day, working on his technique, his body. It was like – since he blew up and started touring – it was the biggest change I’d seen.'

Meanwhile after landing a role in Bullet Train in 2022, the singer threw himself into knife training as part of his stunt work for the film. 

The Puerto Rican rapper captivated the crowd as he approached the end of his Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour in London last week.

He has already made headlines for not playing any US dates on the tour, telling i-D magazine, he was worried his fans would be targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers outside the gigs.

He spoke almost entirely in Spanish at the London gig after asking for permission at the start and also paid tribute to the people of Venezuela, following two major earthquakes in the country last week.

'All Latinos around the world stand in solidarity with you,' he said.

The concerts were also the most tickets ever sold for a single show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the most tickets sold by a Latin artist in the UK, the largest Spanish-language shows in UK history, and marked the first time a Latin artist has headlined a UK stadium.
