Thanks for the new thread

Thank you for the new thread and the updates.

I watched Coco the other day. I didn't even realize that was his voice in it until the credits.

It was a wonderful movie.

CONDEMNED666 · 10-09-2018, 10:02 PM

my favorite film with him in it was the science of sleep

he actually gets a chance to 'act' a bit (have a bit of fun) in that film, most of his films hes playing serious

Or and i saw blindness the other day, and he just appears out of nowhere in the middle of the film, i didnt even know he was in it

I discovered Gael Garcia Bernal in Coco and didn't know that Hector's voice belonged to him because Hector was my favorite character in Coco and Gael Garcia Bernal was the perfect actor to voice Hector because he brought humor to Hector. I didn't know Gael was in so many movies and many girls think he's cute. I think I would like to see more of Gael Garcia Bernal's movies because they sound like cool movies and to see him in roles beyond Hector

in his whole body of work, hes done 2 films where hes had a chance to 'play around'/ have a little bit of fun in front of the camera. Those are The Science of Sleep, and the amazon prime series Mozart in the Jungle

All his films (motorcycle diaries, y tu mama tambien, the king, the loneliest planet, amores perros, babel) are pretty dark and serious

*sighs* He needs to take a break from all that hard work dedicated to entertaining us

kayrey · 10-12-2018, 03:41 PM

He does tend to do very heavy movies so I'll really have to look for his lighter stuff.

That gif is cute.

Karen, he played Héctor.

#fbf for all my Latin friends to the feature film I did with @gaelgarciab
We shot our scene in Corpus Christi onboard the USS Lexington. He and I got done shooting & jumped in a van to go back to our trailers. When we got to the bottom of the pier the van was swamped with a hundred or so young Latin ladies going crazy
I said "man...I didn't know I was this popular!" which of course was some funny **** to Gael. Awesome guy, great actor/director: Y Tu Mamá También, The Motorcycle Diaries, and Amores Perros
