Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal is baffled by the criticism he has received for taking on roles portraying homosexual characters, because he considers it “cool”.
The Latin hunk has played gay men in director Pedro Almodovar’s La Mala Educacion (Bad Education) in 2004 and kissed Diego Luna in 2001’s Y Tu Mama Tambien (And Your Mother, Too).
And he insists he is unabashed about his on-screen past, because it should not have any implication on his acting credentials.
He says, “It’s so cool. I don’t see what all the fuss is about playing gay characters. When I did Y Tu Mama Tambien, I was asked, ‘Don’t you worry about what people will say to you in the street?’ It seemed like it was such a huge deal.
