Actor Gael Garcia Bernal
Though the role was his for the taking, Latin American teddy bear Gael Garcia Bernal has passed on the role of Jason Bourne’s latest nemesis in “The Bourne Ultimatum.” The actor cited schedule conflicts as his reason for declining the part…as opposed to the more obvious issue at hand, which is that moviegoers generally have a hard enough time buying the cuddly Bernal as a character who kills time, much less another human being.
Undaunted, filmmakers continue to seek a suitable replacement to play the ruthless assassin trailing Jason Bourne. Current frontrunners are rumored to be none other than the Snuggle Fabric Softener mascot or, if his asking price should prove too steep, one of the lesser Care Bears.
