As much as I love Javier Bardem, I always wonder how Benicio would've been in No County For Old Men. I mean, Javier was pretty iconic in that role. But I'd still like to see an alternate cut, with him as Chigurgh.
Puerto Rico has given so many singers, actors and so many other people in the arts. That’s what our heritage and ancestors taught us, work hard, develop our talents and be successful!
john jobs - First off, it's very common in men and women to have a vit of stomach starting in their 50s, and it's nowhere near being actually 'fat'; It's mostly just a sign of age, and considering that Benicio's overall shape is more bulky than lean, it's also perfectly normal. Second, women are usually atteacted to different traits than men. Generally speaking, men will first and foremost be attracted to woman's body and facial features, whereas women will be greatly endeared by personality traits like experience, suaveness, confidence, protectiveness, etc. The physical appearance doesn't quite matter as much to us as the person's entire aura. And even though Benicio *is* good looking, it's more what he emanates that I find attractive.
@@elitadream between 2013-2014 he had to gain weight for his role as Pablo Escobar but this weight loss isn't Much comparable for today but I see Benicio as not fat, rather cute chubby and that what you said, men in age gain a little stomach. I never was a fan of muscles anyway and I do find Benicio incredibly attractive
I found out he was Puerto Rican last summer when he wanted to contact me about a picture that was taken of us court side in Fajardo. I played basketball For the Puerto Rican national team in 1980. I was 22, he was 12 at the time and wanted a picture with me.. He sent me the picture this summer. I told him how proud I was to learn he was Puerto Rican. Now the 3rd from the Island to win an Oscar. What a cool thing for him to do. Puerto Ricans are truly beautiful people.
When Benicio del Toro won his first Oscar, the then governor of PR, Sila M. Calderon, announced that she was going to throw a huge event to honor him. Benicio went on to say that he would rather she her use the money and invest it in something that would promote the arts in Puerto Rico. She was so ofended by that statement that she cancelled the Benicio de Toro Oscar Party. BUT... she didn’t invest a dime in promoting the arts in the island either. Fast forward to 2018; Puerto Rico’s condition, created by the most corrupt territory in the USA, and the fanatics that vote and defend them to their deaths, just wants to make you cry.
s0uperdrag0n - Puerto Rico is really F'd up. Puerto Rican politicians are even more F'd up. Unless you live on that island, you can't appreciate how bad the corruption is. The arts in Puerto Rico are all but dead. As is everything else. Jay Fonseca interviewed an FBI Director who said NY City is the most corrupt place in the US, and yet that PR is worse.
He's just so handsome and I'm really fawning over him. Not to mention one of the few truly talented actors. I want him to do a movie in a dramatic and very sexy role and sweep the viewers with his dashing debonair aura and of course knowing he could always put his own spin in every character he plays, it's going to be a cinematic experience.
Zeitgeist Now he's actually said in an interview that he would like to do a romantic role which is so far removed from these kinds of movies he's typecast in, can you imagine what that would be like?? Another Patrick Swayze yummy
Bro, he came here to Puerto Rico, to the university I study and I wasn't in the university at that moment but it is still sooooo exciting!!! Te amamos, Ben🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Absolutely ♥️ this guy. Real life and when acting, it’s night and day. Super intense when inhabiting a role. The ability to capture intensity for a role as he does is very rare. A truly gifted artist. Bravo Benicio! 👏🙌
It's high time that the territories held by the USA were offered statehood, or at the very least reasonable representation WITH A VOTE IN CONGRESS. Our forefathers greatly resented taxation without representation but right now we're forcing that same circumstance on the American territories. It is a great WRONG and it needs to stop!
Lily Darkmoore the founding fathers didn't actually want representation. The population in the colonies was so small that representation in parliament would have been nominal. They wanted independence. That was just a catchy slogan. Ask the residents in DC how they like their non voting member of Congress. Puerto Ricans have consistently voted against statehood. And currently Puerto Ricans pay some federal taxes but they don't pay income tax. They can vote but they can't vote for president. And again their population is so small they wouldn't have much impact on who becomes president. So statehood would mean higher taxes and a very small voice in Congress, like say Wyoming. Doesn't seem like a fair trade. We need to take better care of our territories but statehood isn't they answer. Hawaii was only granted statehood so companies like Dole could exploit it.
Lily Darkmoore sad that our Congress barely resembles what it was intended to be. Its become more of a house of money laundering and NRA big conglamos payoffs! Screwing the people!
I absolutely agreed when Deni cut out 90% of his character’s dialogue because his face expressions and gestures are simply amazing! Benicio is surely the guy we are enjoy to watch.
Sad fact: Flint still doesn't have water and PR still doesn't have power. Edit: Flint's water is under the federal level for needing to be checked, but they are still far from replacing all the old lead pipes.
He's so hot that he almost makes me feel dizzy!!! He's so genuine, cool and friendly. Unfortunately such an underrated actor.He deserves a lot more credits!!!
Para nada está subestimado.Gano el Oscar,Globos de oro,Peoples Choice,SAG,Cannes,Goya,Donostia y no recuerdo cuántos premios más.Por el contrario es uno de los actores más reconocidos y respetados de esta generación.Simplemente Benicio siempre ha optado por el cine independiente y elige ese tipo de películas.

I will always fawn over Benicio. I named my first car Fenster! My husband was very understanding when I practically assaulted him when I got surprised by his appearance in Star Wars (I refuse to even watch trailers). Love!!
When mr. Del Toro is talking about words as opposed to acting ,you know he said the word gestures I'll say the word acting ...Steve McQueen had very few words in a part in a western movie, and he just acted he had glances he had Twitches he had scratching of the face that's what he did !! same thing with Benicio ,damn good actors
Man I am in love with Benicia Del Toro. Number one actor in my time, and I would kill to meet him 😫 He seems like a very, very charismatic, easy going guy! 😫😫😫😫😫
It’s really funny to think about how small some Benicio Del Toro roles are. Fenster and Frankie Four Fingers are super memorable, but he’s not in either movie very long.
Benicio Del Toro... Legend! ⚓🇺🇸 The ocean waters around Puerto Rico are bluer than blue, a bright turquoise. Stunning. I so enjoyed a business trip I stayed an extra 3 days in the San Juan area. An absolutely beautiful place.
Benicio is awesome in the Usual Suspects! As well as many other movies. He always goes deep into his characters, and gives them a real life feel with the ticks, and/or mannerisms that he creates for them. He definitely makes it easier for you to fall into the storyline. Which in turn makes the movies more enjoyable. Keep up the great work Benicio!
What was not done for the Puerto Rican people after the destruction was criminal and a shame. They deserve better and people are ready for this country to do better.
Its a weird thing for us, our fear. LIKE THE BIGGEST FEAR HERE for so many puertoricans is that US Corportations would interfere with our protection of our environment and our rain forests.
Rose S: No, I disagree; your statement is absurd! Every RESIDENT should be represented, whether they have a right to vote or not, but not all CITIZENS should have a right to vote! Are you seriously advocating that we should increase the eligible voters nationwide by more than a third by giving the right to vote to citizen children under 18 years old? Babies, who are citizens at birth, "should have a right to vote"? That is the effect of your statement about "every citizen".
Rose S: (1) Voting, does not equal (2) citizenship, does not equal (3) representation, does not equal (4) taxation. The relative strengths of these 4 points vary among different cohorts in the United States, as well they should in some cases (e.g., children usually have points (2) and (3) but really shouldn't have points (1) and (4)). Adult citizen Puerto Ricans have all 4 points but are extremely restricted on point (3). As an American expat, I am better represented but still restricted on point (3), and more restricted on point (4). Edit: I'm not saying that I agree with the current system. I would increase and equalize point (3) for both Puerto Ricans and myself and get rid of the insane point (4) double taxation of Americans living and working abroad simply because we are Americans (no other country does this).
Every citizen should have the right to vote. People used your argument to deny the right to vote to Black people. We are not talking about babies or people in coma in hospitals. What is the age requirement in the US? Same should be in PR. Representation should be based on the population. The only problem with that is that states with large white populations will lose representation since PR have a larger population than many states.
Michael Nieves: How good of a troll are you? Citizenship does not equal voting rights! Underage citizens should not vote. You say "We are not talking about "babies" - while 24% of the US population is under 18 years of age and only half of that number in the total (black-and-white-and-all-others) population - 12% is black and I never said anything about limiting the vote due to race. So what the hell are you talking about, troll?

I’m no one to say what Other people are good for but as a huge fan of benicio del toro I can play a whole movie in my head with benicio del toro as the main character and it’s the best movie I’ve made so far. 👌.
The very first thing I ever saw him in was “The Wolfman(2010)” back in like 2011. I remember being so scared to watch it, and I never properly watched it until like 2018 and I realized how awesome it was, despite the ratings the pathetic critics gave it. One thing I want to know is why did he look so old in that movie?
Stephen's monologues are fantastic and really fun to watch. however i'm becoming a fan of his recent interviews. he had great interviews with gusts recently. i think as he is getting more comfortable with his gust he kinda gets his confidence to be more comfortable with his gets and become his funny self.
Puerto Rico: One of the World's last colonies - American colonialism very much alive. Taxation without real representation- They cannot vote-out the guy making policies detrimental to my Island. They cannot vote-in. those candidates trying to help PR. Subject to the crushing conditions imposed by the Jones Act...in the middle of the Atlantic. Property of the US, not part of the US. They can sell PR to Mexico if they want for a few oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. As far as Puerto Rico is concerned, the US has always taken much more (in billions), than it has given to the Island (of course!)
this guy is one of the best most underrated actors ever
Real Street Racing hes definitely not underrated
Real Street Racing agreed
Real Street Racing agreed, he is definitely underrated
He have win the Oscar, Golden Globe, SAG, Cannes, Goya, Donostia( twice)
He has been my favorite actor since I saw him in basquiat when I was 14. (I’m 32 now) he’s amazing.
Genius actor, gorgeous to look at, he has such a down to earth demeanor too! Ahhh, breath of fresh air☺️
How is he such a mysterious intimidatingly hot handsome man and at the same time a cute dork 😂😂😂😂
That's his magic.
I guess that’s why he can play so many completely different characters.
truly
Hollywood should cast this guy in more movies
He is not a big fan of working alot...or wasn´t...and sadly,we are all now paying the prize.
Maybe he doesn't want to work that hard....?
He's in the new Dora the Explorer Movie
DEFINITELY
Hollywood does not deserve him
Del Toro is amazing in everything he does.
He deserves an oscar for best actor on Sicario..
Alexander Castillo for real
THANK YOU! Absolutely yes. I haven't seen a performance like that in so long
Both movies were absolutely amazing. Couldn’t have casted a better person for Alejandro
he always kills it in every film he's in
I agree!
One of the great character actors of our time: Fear and Loathing, Che, Way of the Gun, Usual Suspects, Sicario .... Plus he seems like a genuine guy.

He is perfect. Gorgeous talented man.
I’m proud to see a Latino make it, not many of us in Hollywood.

You're right as to citizenship and voting rights. My bad. My broader point is "how do you live with this?".

The relative strengths of these 4 points vary among different cohorts in the United States, as well they should in some cases (e.g., children usually have points (2) and (3) but really shouldn't have points (1) and (4)).

I’m no one to say what Other people are good for but as a huge fan of benicio del toro I can play a whole movie in my head with benicio del toro as the main character and it’s the best movie I’ve made so far. 👌.
He's everything!❤😍
I'm so embarrassed, I honestly had no idea our territories weren't granted voting rights and Congress representation. I sincerely hope that changes
Yeah it’s pretty screwed up.
Lindooooo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The very first thing I ever saw him in was “The Wolfman(2010)” back in like 2011. I remember being so scared to watch it, and I never properly watched it until like 2018 and I realized how awesome it was, despite the ratings the pathetic critics gave it. One thing I want to know is why did he look so old in that movie?
That’s like one of my favorite movies lol I liked it. It had an all star cast with Sir Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blount.
Stephen's monologues are fantastic and really fun to watch. however i'm becoming a fan of his recent interviews. he had great interviews with gusts recently. i think as he is getting more comfortable with his gust he kinda gets his confidence to be more comfortable with his gets and become his funny self.
Love his looks but hey he’s a dang good actor - deserves a lot more ‼️‼️‼️‼️💗💗💗💗
He is an amazing actor, loved this interview
Excelente actor! Excellent actor. Love him!
Multifaceted and extremely under rated 👍💯💯
i love benecio del toro. anyone else besides me see a resemblance between him and Leonardo Di Caprio?
Mary Anne Kain slightly.
My household calls him Latino Brad Pitt... Very fondly, might I add.
Other than 3-word names, no lol ... both great actors though
Mary Anne Kain
He reminds me more of a famous Italian actors of the 70s. Maybe he has Italian heritage and that's the link between him and DiCaprio
Mary Anne Kain 🤔 I can see that.
Puerto Rico:
One of the World's last colonies - American colonialism very much alive.
Taxation without real representation- They cannot vote-out the guy making policies detrimental to my Island. They cannot vote-in. those candidates trying to help PR.
Subject to the crushing conditions imposed by the Jones Act...in the middle of the Atlantic.
Property of the US, not part of the US. They can sell PR to Mexico if they want for a few oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
As far as Puerto Rico is concerned, the US has always taken much more (in billions), than it has given to the Island (of course!)
Puerto RICO LIBRE !!!!!!!
