- I saw him when I started filming this new version. I didn't know him, because this is not the type of movie that i wanted to see when it came out. I was 8-years-old in '87. At that age you want to see other things.

Would you like to be the new "Swayze" of 2004?

-No, I believe that there is one already, and he's still alive...

And what opinion does a Lating success owe to Antonio Banderas or Ricky Martin?

-I believe that in the United States, they are becoming increasingly interested in our history. I think that they speak well about them. Because they are not alone in this world and worry about what goes on beyound the border.

Do you know or have any friendships with Latin others?

-I have several famous friends, but the truth is, I do not like improving oneself with them, as Salma Hayek.

What do you remember about the love scene with Salma in Frida?

-Easy, As well as eighty percent of the Latino's in this world, right? But besides that I worked with a very professional actress who was very dedicated to the movie and wanted to do it.

Would this have been possible without your work in Mexican soap operas?

-I would not have had so much experience. In Mexican television, it's not as important in so much as the quality, but the quantity. But I owe a lot to television.

Do you believe that you're career really to go off after Y Tu Mama Tambien?

-Absolutly, yes.

Do you continue to meet with Gael Garcia, in reality, or did you seperate like in the movie?

-We are good friends, but it's not like in the movie, We have never shared a woman, nor go away giving kisses thereabouts.

Wasn't it difficult to film such strong sex scenes with Gael, especially when you had to kiss?

-No, not at all. It is much more difficult to dance. I feel more comfortable filming sex scenes than dancing.

What do you want to do next?

-Thankfully, I am 24-years-old. And while i have life, i will have a long carrer. I do not want to work only for money.
