[starilee]

i love how they acted out each slang for us so we could get a visual picture of it

[gisellellanes]

Everyone saying they have chemistry and are flirting and as a Hispanic person I’m here like....this is just how we are ....🤷‍♀️

[froncifresh]

He looks like the puertorican version of jesse williams. So 👏 fine 👏

[ismaraychavez]

Puertoricans are so good looking and their accent is everything

[annlabrada]

Ooooohhh! His eyes. Here after watching Miss Bala and because of him. Like the way he played his character.

[AndresLopezZarate]

Literally being Mexican when I hear a puerto Rican speak I get so confused lmfao, but I like the swag in the way they speak

[luiszelayandia]

some of us even shorten it to “ay dito” instead of BEN-dito

[fania_mania]

I feel like Ismael understands WAY better the puertorican slang.

[janettorres]

Love how Ismail ended it and combined most of the words into a sentence. I’m loving his come up. 🇵🇷❤️

[anachocolate]

The chemistry between these two is CRAZY !!

[ericarivera]

I've seen some of these videos where people are commenting how its messed up their playing mexican parts, but im mexican and honestly i think its awesome just to have latinos getting more of a chance on the big screen. I saw miss bala last night and i loved it!

[amara]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Ismael Cruz Córdova says his name! DAYUM GINA THAT HAD ME. 😍

[ricansoldier]

Those are all legit words. I am Boricua born and raised in the land of my father’s, and I certify that these slangs are true!

[Tigris]

i’m amazed at how expressive these slangs are. like i’m so interested to learn the language now

[copperwopper]

Lowkey she was all over him at some parts but I can’t even blame her 😭

[Becky_Cal]

Omg! I love “Ay Bendito”! I’m Mexican-American and didn’t know this phrase and I love it! They sounded cute when they said it too 😍😍😍

[Alexandra...]
