...dissolving innocence (more like his character in 2001's Y Tu Mamá También, but without the sex). His weapon is his wide, crooked smile.

As his spirited friend and travel companion Granado, Rodrigo de la Serna (who's related to the real Guevara) provides the perfect foil to his shy, noble cohort. Guevara may be the heart of the film, but Granado - warm, witty and full of life - is its soul. De la Serna...

Thorpe's status has isolated him from the camaraderie of the swimming circle, and inevitable jealousies have erupted over his special status. "We have never had a Michael Phelps before," notes Rowdy Gaines, a triple gold medalist in 1984. "He can swim a lot of events, and that can create a lot of jealousy." Phelps does not sound all that bothered. "If it comes up, it comes up," he responds with typical teenage aplomb. "I'll just...
