Benicio Del Toro Trivia
|
- Attended the University of California - San Diego (UCSD)
- Son of Gustavo Del Toro and Fausta Sanchez-Del Toro, and Godson of Sarah Torres (all lawyers).
- Reportedly turned down the role of Frida Kahlo's husband Diego Rivera in _Frida Kahlo (2001)_ because of the weight gain that would be required.
- Has one brother, Gustavo, who is two years older and is a physician in the US.
- He badly injured his wrist during a stunt fight during the filming of William Friedkin's "The Hunted". He fell on his wrist as he dove for a knife and actor Tommy Lee Jones fell on top of him. He was injured so badly that he was out of work for months, even though the film was virtually completed. He required 3 hours of therapy daily and reportedly there is a question whether he will regain full use of the wrist.
