Does anyone know is this is Gael Garcia Bernal's sister? If so WTF? She plays the prostitute that Elvis first visits when he gets out of the army. Can anyone shed some light on this?

LOL I thought the same thing. He'a not married though.
Could it be a coincidence?
Or a trick of the director's to add a little spicy piece of trivia to the film (naming a nameless extra "Bernal" - after all we barely see what she looks like, so she could be anyone)?

lol I doubt they would have agreed to it!

I still believe that actress "Vernal"'s surname is fake though.

could be just a coincidence. I believe it was filmed in Austin/South Texas.. there are plenty of Hispanics in the area.. and Bernal is a common last name there (I live in South Texas, I should know).
