Benicio Del Toro @ LAX airport

The ever-so-brooding Benicio Del Toro flashes a quick smile as he arrives at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday (the day after Christmas).

His latest film, Things We Lost in the Fire (costarring Halle Berry), opened this past October and grossed $1.5 million its opening weekend, ranking #15 at the box office.

Painter/sculptor/director Julian Schnabel was recently interviewed by Harp (adult album alternative genre music magazine) and mentioned Benicio, 40. The first film Schnabel directed, Basquiat, starred Benicio.

“I think Benicio was great,” Schnabel said. “Benicio is a great actor.”

> You mean “Schnabel said”.

He looks so much like Brad Pitt, old and ugly.

Benicio is THE sexiest actor working today, fullstop. And one of the finest actors of his generation. He looks marvellous, aging like a really fine wine. And yes, he looks like Brad (only better). JJ, thanks for publishing (finally) some pics of this gorgeous man.

Benicio is a man who shines in the shadow’s,and whatever he sets his hand to he does it with all of his might. He lives from the inside out!
There is a gold mine of dreams,visions,and strengths hidden in every life,but you have to dig to get to it. You must be willing to dig deep and go beyond how you feel,or what is convenient.If you will dig down deep into your spirit,you will do greater things than anyone could ever imagine.
