Hi everyone! Sorry for the long time in not posting. There were issues with the web-host again. Something about new software, getting hacked, and my forum not working. I think it’s all working again okay???

I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be able to run this site. I’m just too busy. I know… I’m bummed about it, too. But I’d like to pass this site on to someone else rather than just let it cease to be updated.

Is there anyone who would like to take this website over? You need to have some knowledge of Wordpress and Coppermine. If you’re interested, email me at: webmaster@gaelfan.net

Here is a nice long article/interview where Gael talks about swine flu, Tough & Corny and everything in between.

Telegraph.co.uk ~ July 8, 2009

In late April, Gael Garcia Bernal was all set to fly to New York for the Tribeca Film Festival, where his latest movie Rudo & Cursi was to get its US premiere, but the outbreak of swine flu meant that he, like everyone else in a metastasising Mexico City, was fearfully holed up at home. ‘At first, it was terrifying, man,’ the actor recalls. ‘I don’t understand epidemics, who does? Paranoia and panic spread through the city incredibly fast. I was just watching news reports of all these people dying and not having any idea when this thing outside my door would end.’

Garcia Bernal ultimately did make it to Tribeca, but for an actor who’s consistently spurned the advances of Hollywood to make movies in Mexico, it seems entirely yet tragically apt that he should spend the darkest days of swine flu among his countrymen. The gringos could wait.

Ever since bursting on to the scene in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s gritty urban drama Amores Perros in 2001, Garcia Bernal has carved out a reputation as one of the mildest-mannered guys in film. Except, that is, where politics is concerned. Aged 16, he joined marches and demonstrations supporting the rebellion of the Zapatista Indians in Chiapas. Aged 24, more famously, when presenting an award at the 2003 Oscars, he ignored the autocue and gave the night’s first denunciation of the Iraq War.

Sorry for the delay since the last update. I’ve been super busy.

I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos of Gael at the Edinburgh Film Festival in Scotland last month. He’s with Diego Luna, Carlos Cuaron and Alfonso Cuaron for the premiere of Rudo y Cursi.

I’ve also adde nine images of Gael (with Diego) at Salma Hayek’s Wedding in Italy back in April.
