The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is slowly taking over the world, making individuals and groups of various walks of life douse themselves in chilly water all for the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a motor neurone disease also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Well, it helped that many celebrities and powerful figures in business led the way, inspiring more to take part in the fundraising activity.
It should be noted that the challenge had crossed over to the UK and has also been adopted by the Latino community in various areas of North America, particularly by the following Latino celebrities:
Shakira and Gerard Piqué
The good-looking couple is the picture of cuteness in this clip, with "The Voice" coach nominating none other than Pope Francis himself and Coldplay rocker Chris Martin.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The footballer was not shy about showing off his ripped body, doing the challenge in skimpy Speedos while seated (probably to make it easier for the assistants to pour on the cold water on him).
Jennifer Lopez
After being nominated by Cristiano, JLo responded to the challenge and timed it after her workout. But that still did not keep her from shrieking at the coldness of the water.
Selena Gomez
Here's evidence that Sel responded to BFF Taylor Swift's callout, which some consider as a sign that all is well again for the allegedly estranged friends.
Lionel Messi
In this video, "Messi reminded us that he's the best. Ever" BuzzFeed said. Enough said.
Diego Boneta
The "Rock of Ages" star lends a helping hand for charity. See his Ice Bucket Challenge video in slow motion below:
Thalia
The Latina superstar was not alone when she did her icy stunt.
Ricky Martin
We thought he would bust out a few dance moves a la "Livin La Vida Loca" after pouring all that ice water on himself.
Jessica Alba
The "Sin City" actress did the challenge with singer Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, and Nicole Richie.
Mario Lopez
The "Extra" host did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge live on TV during his hosting gig.
Luis Fonsi
The Latin Grammy-winning artist did his part by recording his brief ordeal with the ice bucket.
