Everyone’s favorite male Mexican duo has reunited and it feels so good! Besties Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are back, baby, starring together in the Hulu sports drama La Máquina, which debuts October 9th. The newly released trailer shows Gael playing an aging boxer and Diego as the manager who secures him a rematch against a former competitor.
Though they’ve founded two production companies together, this is only the second time the tantalizing twosome has appeared on screen together since their breakthrough roles in the critically acclaimed road trip flick Y Tu Mamá También. In 2008, they starred in a sports film set in the world of professional soccer, Rudo y Cursi, but it’s hard to top the 2001 Alfonso Cuarón hit that had both boys putting the coming in “coming-of-age.”

Both made their nude debuts in Y Tu Mamá También, which had the childhood friends frequently undressed in various sex scenes, and hanging dong while jerking off by a pool, snapping towels after showering, and waking up after a threesome where things got hot and heavy between them.

You can now see Gael García Bernal nude and Diego Luna nude in other projects, and both have gone on to become parts of big Disney-owned franchises with Gael part of the MCU and Diego solidly in Star Wars canon. The question is will La Máquina be a return to their naked roots?

Here’s hoping it delivers some blows outside the ring too!
