Magnificent Men of Monday

I adore Gael Garcia Benal. Adore him. I think he is so lovely and I just want to eat him up. I had a very impassioned argument with a co-worker the other day about him. She said he looked gay and was not even cute. I disagree. Ain’t nothing wrong with looking gay around here. Has she seen Ricky Martin? That man is gorgeous. And frankly, I don’t think there is anything wrong with a beautiful face that could be likened to a gay man, I think that is quite the compliment.

 

And he makes a beautiful lady. So maybe he does have slightly effeminate features. Either way, he is beautiful to me.

    He looks a little like Juliette Lewis when he is in drag. But not as scrawny.

  2. A few of the beardless pictures remind me of Rob Lowe (young)

  3. i love ggb but i think he’s so mini i’d crush him. don’t get me wrong, i’d have an amazing time up until that point. but yeah… itsky bitsky.

  4. OMG YES to the Juliette Lewis comments above!

    I loved GGB in Y Tu Mama when he was but a child.

    That side profile, with a shaved head? Gorgeous. He should stand sideways forever.

  5. Oh, Cely… our list of differences just grows and grows… I just don’t see it in this fellow, either :(

  6. Gay looking or not, you can’t deny he is a beautiful man…

  7. I just watched him in Mammoth over the weekend! He’s so sexy and very talented. Fantastic choice!

  8. Last week on Glee they had Ricky Martin cover I’m Sexy and I Know It. I had to actually pause the show and wait for the wife to get in there to watch that song with me, and she hates Glee. As a psuedo-gay I had full appreciation for that. Still get nothing for GGB though. I don’t see it.

  9. Youll be extremely jealous to note that the picture of GGB above laughing (http://www.runningoffthereeses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/gb2.jpg) looks a LOT like my sig other. I showed him and he was like, ‘thats scary like me!!!’.

      Well aren’t you lucky!!

        Ha ha sorry I didnt intend for it to come off as boastful, in all other pics they look not very alike but that single one is a bit freaky similar. Could be because his mouth looks so big and N has a freaky large mouth (he can fit his fist in it, can you do that> WHO can do that?!) x

    I love this beautiful man! I was just telling my sister about him yesterday! Glad you agree he is amazing. I haven’t seen many of his movies yet, but they’re on the list :)

  11. Erinn

    I have loved him since the moment I watched Y Tu Mamá También back in high school. Gorgeous man!

  12. Catherine T

    He looks like an older, more distinguished Paolo Nutini….can he sing? lol

  13. Love him!!!! He is one of my faves, so glad you highlighted him today :-)

  14. Christine

    I can’t say I am *ahem* sexually attracted to him, but he is BEAUTIFUL. Some men are just so..pretty? But not in a gay way(not that there’s anything wrong with that) maybe more in a model-y way. Also he is much prettier with a little scruff.

  15. I have never seen this candied man meat before!! Meerrroww.

  16. Been crushing on him since Amores Perros, but I can’t look at Gael photos anymore without thinking of the guy I dated who looked like a darker, tattooed version of Gael.

  17. Megan

    Omg I 1000% agree with you and that is not a typo. Y-U-M. Thank you.

  18. sophie

    oooh, good looking man, for sure. Those eyes are gorgeous. However, I agree with your friend — way too effeminate for me! I can appreciate his looks, but definitely not my style.

  19. Shannon

    Yum! Haha I forgot about him! He is so good in amores perros

  20. Mer

    I especially love him more recently because he makes watching sports center and college basketball worth it with those razor ads…

  21. RS

    Him and Diego Luna in Y Tu Mama Tambien…hold me.

  22. Gael is the man who inspired me to pursue hispanic men. and now im engaged to a sexy dirty latino.
    I think I owe him a big thankyou.

    Gracias.

  23. Love him!!! He was awesome in “Motorcycle Diaries”.

    How about Diego Luna? ;)

  24. Nancy

    OMG! I love Gael!!!! So freakin’ talented and just a beautiful human being. He’s funny, he’s cute and a great actor.
