During his intro as a presenter for Best Animated Film at the Oscars, actor Gael García Bernal (“Y Tu Mamá También,” “Mozart in the Jungle”) compared himself to a migrant worker because he has to travel around the world to act in movies. For real. He said this.

He’s also against walls, or something:

Watch: “Flesh and blood actors are migrant workers.”

Um, that’s not really the definition of migrant worker that we should be using:

@moorehn @GaelGarciaB I'm guessing he's not quite picking fruit in California like actual migrant workers…
