Andy Garcia is Fed Up With People Who Glorify Che Guevara Star Pulse .com ^ Andy Garcia . . . sees the revolutionary as a butcher who killed millions of his countrymen. Argentine-born Guevara helped current Cuban leader Fidel Castro overthrow General Fulgencio Batista's government in a guerrilla revolution in the late 1950s. Garcia, who left Cuba when he was five, says, "I'd be curious to go around and ask them how much they really know about Che. Some people wearing the T-shirt don't even know his name. They know he's some sort of revolutionary, and to wear his image is cool because you feel like a revolutionary. Someone told me the other day that they asked one of these people if they were aware of all the executions that Che was a part of in Cuba and the guy said, 'Well, I don't know if that's true, as if it had been made up to discredit him.' I wish you could say it was made up because that would mean that all those people didn't die under his thumb. That's the tragedy." ________________________________________ Q: Have you ever thought about going back? Andy Garcia: Every day I think about going back. Q: You could. People go to Cuba all the time from Canada or Mexico. It has become this sexy tourist destination because it's taboo. Andy Garcia: Well, Cuba has always been sexy. (Laughs) It's sexy even in the state of decay it's in. But to go there is illegal. I would never go back under those conditions. Emotionally, I've never wanted to go back while Castro was there. I'll wait until he's dead and buried. . .
