'Squirrely' Benicio del Toro storms out of 'Che' interview
Seems Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara is still causing controversy.
"I'm getting uncomfortable," Benicio del Toro said after a question from a Washington Times reporter about his new movie about the Bolivian and Cuban revolutions. "I'm done. I'm done, I hope you write whatever you want. I don't give a damn."
Then the Oscar-winning actor got up and walked out of the interview about director Steven Soderbergh's "Che."
But the Washington Times got even. It ran the walkout article on its front page.
You can also watch a video with the reporter about how "squirrely" Benicio got when pressed about Che's labor camps and executions.

Oh PLEASE, I can't stand reading that mistake everywhere anymore: Ché Guevarra was from ARGENTINA, not CUBA.
Yes, but he was a part of the revolution in Cuba. He was also a thug and a murder, using the revolution as a backdrop to kill for the sake of killing. Most people that wear the "Che'" shirts don't realize what a maniac murderer he was. He was no hero.
And most people who speak so negatively about him and his "maniac murders" don't know so much either. They just cry what their Cuban-exiled parents tell them or whatever garbage American teachers tell them. What is true is that most Latin Americans hold him as a hero of righteousness.
