The Wolfman is opening in theaters this week in the United States and El Papi Chulo to end all papi chulos, Benicio del Toro, has been in full force promoting the movie. This video is from 20minutos, in Spain.

So y'all know he's not just that gruffy voice and killer bedroom eyes, he's got producer credits for this little cinematic beast. From Benicio Del Toro - Wolfman Inspired By Del Toro's Memorabilia Collection - Contactmusic News:

We went to Universal with the idea. That is how you do stuff. You go to the studio."
And Del Toro is convinced his hairy appearance when he went to meet movie bosses persuaded them he was the right man for the lead role.
He adds, "I was in the middle of getting ready to do the Che movie. So I looked pretty much like a Wolfman! I looked either like The Wolfman or a smaller version of (Star Wars character) Chewbacca."

In this video, El Papi Chulo talks about approaching Universal with the Wolfman idea, watching old horror classics in Puerto Rican TV and identifying with the misunderstood monsters more so than their killers.

Awww!

These are allegedly the faces of Hollywood for the next decade. Yup. Vanity Fair believes these are the faces that for the next 10 years will represent the collective fantasies and dreams of America, the beautiful.

It was bad enough they tried to paint the majority of tweeter influentials and users as white. Selling America, The Beautiful as just white, upper class, wafer-thin but able-bodied and make-no-mistakes straight femme women ... that really takes their bigotry to a whole 'nother level.
