GAEL GARCIA BERNAL
AGE 29
BROKE OUT IN... Y Tu Mama Tambien, as a Mexican teenager who embarks on a journey of sexual discovery with a friend (Diego Luna) and an older woman (Maribel Verdu).
WHY HIM Bernal isn't just another latin heartthrob. His choice in movies leans toward brainy fare like Pedro Almodovar's
Bad Education (2004) and Michel Gondry's
The Science of Sleep (2006).
WHAT'S NEXT This summer, he stars opposite Julianne Moore in the thriller
Blindness, from
City of God director Fernando Meirelles.
