It has come to my attention that several of my guests have asked questions about Benicio, some personal, some perverted, and some that are just too much fun to pass up. So I will attempt to answer them as best I can, keeping in mind the spirit in which they were asked.

Laura writes: "By the way, girl, yeah you the one who owns the webpage, you ARE OBSSESED [sic] get over him he's over 30!"

In addition to deplorable grammar, horrendous spelling and the dreaded use of caps lock that marked this comment in my guestbook, Laura has dared to criticize my affection for Benicio, calling me "obsessed." I have but one reply:

"Dear Laura, who are you to call me obsessed? You are a pubescent fifteen year-old who has nothing better to do than flame people who are having a good time. Should the darling man Benicio ever choose to visit, I'm sure he would be mightily amused with my efforts, and possibly even appreciate my attempt to further his career. Over 4,800 people have visited this site since its inception last autumn, and many more will pass this way in the next year. Benicio is a talented actor and I am just having a good time. Yes, he is over 30, but that shouldn't matter. Knowing you, you are lusting after Leonardo di Caprio, a mere babe-in-arms at 23. If you think you can design a better website, go right ahead. Thank you for visiting, Laura."

If you wish to email Laura about her opinions, please do so: Laura

The answer to that question is no, I have not. I've been a busy college student while dedicating my spare minutes to this website and many others I have up and running. But the whole summer is ahead of me so am planning to binge on Benicio every weekend. I will provide detailed reports should the fans desire them.

There are quite a few people who could answer that question, Courtenay, but alas,I am not one of them. You should write to Alicia Silverstone and ask her, as I believe she is the most recent of the verified recipients of a genuine Del Toro pucker-upper. She and the darling man locked lips in Excess Baggage in August of 1997 (earlier than that, I assume, because the film was only released at that time).
However, I am of the firm opinion that he would be a really good kisser, as his lips are in such good shape from the contortions he puts them through. If I could kiss Benicio it would be while we were driving at breakneck speed along a deserted highway while listening to "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf.

Dearest Monica, you must realize that men are not necessarily like women, and men like Benicio (don't you just hate this!) can gain and lose weight at will. It is not too much of a stretch for them to shrink and expand their girth at will. Witness, Sylvester Stallone in Copland, who gained 40 pounds, and Dennis Quaid in Wyatt Earp, who lost about that same amount. Unless Benicio's next role calls for a character that is heftier than his natural weight, Benicio will most likely return to his svelte form.

Not in this website, Roxi! I'm dedicated to promoting Benicio as an actor's actor, a paragon of theatrical acumen, an Oscar-worthy gentleman, a. . . , well, you get the picture. And so I hope you will understand why there will be no nude pics, "butt-nekkid" photos or explicit media involving the darling man on this website. Besides, my contract with Geocities forbids it.

Yes, Benicio was born in the San Juan suburb of Santurce, so technically he is from Puerto Rico.

I, for one, agree. It will probably not be available through my website though. You should write to the other fansites, as I have no access to any kind of tools that I could use to construct Benicio Del Toro wallpaper. If you find some, however, please let me know so I can get it for myself.
