Ricky Martin & Leslie Bibb on the Queer Glamour of Palm Royale

In this episode of The Queerty Interview, we’re heading to Palm Beach with Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb, two of the standout stars from Apple TV+’s hit dramedy Palm Royale, which returns for its second season this week.Set in the glitzy high society of the late 1960s, Palm Royale follows the haves and have-nots orbiting an exclusive country club. With Kristen Wiig leading a star-studded cast that includes Allison Janney, Laura Dern, and Leslie Bibb, the show delivers both camp and commentary, not to mention major queer appeal, thanks in part to Ricky Martin’s scene-stealing role as bartender Robert Diaz.With Season 2 now streaming, Queerty’s Cameron Scheetz sat down with Martin and Bibb to talk about the show’s enduring queer sensibility, why Diana might just be a gay icon in the making, and how Ricky’s chance Hollywood encounter led him to Palm Royale. Plus, Ricky reflects on the 25th anniversary of his groundbreaking English-language album Sound Loaded.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
