Four years ago today the beautifully rendered, endearing road trip juvenilia of
Y Tu Mama Tambien made it to the States after proving itself a smash in Mexico. I thought this was as good a time as any to
revisit the love (and drooling) by spotlighting its ascendant star, one of the best young actors anywhere on the planet, Gael Garcia Bernal. [FB Awards:
2001 &
2004]
You can bet that he'll be showing up at my countdown of the top 100 actors of this decade (
now in progress). You can also bet that you won't be seeing him for a long time still --he's way the hell up there. I
give loan you Gael. Drink him up while you can.
