Bernal was becoming a soap-opera heartthrob, but at age 19, he left Mexico's
television world to study acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama
in London, UK.
Subsequently, Bernal has starred in some of Mexico's most celebrated recent
films, beginning with Amores Perros (2000), then 2001's Y Tu Mamá También,
and El Crimen del Padre Amaro (2002). It was his debut as a working-class
street thug in the Oscar-nominated Amores Perros that first grabbed
Hollywood's attention.
He has also done some theatre work, including a 2005 production of Bodas de
sangre ("Blood Wedding"), by Federico García Lorca in the Almeida theatre,
London.
Bernal also portrayed Cubano revolutionary Che Guevara in 2004's The
Motorcycle Diaries, an adaptation of a journal a 23-year-old Guevara wrote
about his travels across South America. |
