Why is he not in more mainstream films?


Watching some of his films lately and I must say, he could star in some more Hollywood films so he can be known by everyone. I do love some of his smaller, independent films but if he went off and did a few Hollywood films, as the lead I might add, this could be good. And with all the money he would earn, he could fund some of the films he would love to do as well.

Gael has his own production company with Diego Luna so they fund the films they want already. I would HATE for Gael to do anymore American films. The reason he's a good actor and esteemed is because he involves himself as an actor with good directors and scripts. Long may it stay that way.
I give my respect to those who have earned it; to everyone else, I'm civil.

He has turned down roles in a lot of Hollywood movies such as the role of Murphy's partner in Robocop, Jared Leto's part in Dallas buyers club, Sam reily's part in Maleficent, Édgar Ramirez's part in The Bourne Ultimatum, and Joel Edgerton's Role in Exodus.

He would have been great in Dallas Buyers Club.

I don't think he wants to be. He does what he wants to do. It's not every actor's dream to be in mainstream film and 'Hollywood' isn't for everyone.

He would have been amazing the "Dallas Buyers Club" not saying Jared wasn't because he was, but Gael works very well :)

he was really good in Bad Education. maybe that's why they considered him for the part in Dallas Buyers Club...

Hollywood is crap today. Gael doesn't want to make romcoms, Judd Apatow films, or dumb actioners made for Chinese audiences. There's no reason for him to work in Hollywood.
