The reason why I like Gael Garcia is because he IS a real actor, with an impeccable resume, who has never played the hollywood game and was a cutie even as a little kid. When he was 14, Gael starred the mexican telenovela"El Abuelo y Yo (1992) and even then you could foresee he was gonna be a big star. In 2007 he was named one of the 100 Sexiest Movie Stars in the world by Empire Magazine, and we couldn´t agree more.
This sexy mexican stud studied acting in London and in a relatively short career, he has worked with top actors like Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchet in Babel (2006) and directors Alfonso Cuaron and Pedro Almodovar, starring films around the world in his native language spanish, english and french.
His big break through came with the mexican film Amores Perros (2000), but it was the internationally acclaimed Y tu mamá tambien, a road movie about two teenager friends ruled by raging hormones that take their friendship to the limit in a rush into adulthood, that gave him world recognition.
His only downside, in my opinion, is that he tries just too hard to come across as a left winged intellectual every time he opens his mouth in an interview. Ok, we get it... you are not just a pretty face.
In 2009, we will see him starring Pedro Paramo, based on the 1955 novel by Juan Rulfo.

I just finished watching "amores perros." It is unlike me to choose, let alone sit through a movie beginning to end... I believe that it was the (yummy honey) Gael Garcia to be the reason..Ha
