Several things to say

The former president (2012-18) is also known for his initials. They should count as answers too.

That same president, the current (as of 2019), and the "Y tu mamá también" actor are known by their two surnames (remember: Spanish naming customs include giving the baby both the father's and the mother's surnames). In other words, what you might consider their middle names, are actually their first surnames, and so, they should be the "just his surname" answer.

I hope this isn't the only Famous Mexicans quiz in the future. Otherwise, it would be horrible to have so many better options dismissed in favor of the Buttfumble himself.

Please accept only the first and last name of the star of "Y tu mama también" No one knows his second last name P. I am Mexican and I only got 13/20. I think this quiz will be answer better by a Mexican-American person.

I would never have gotten "Del Toro" if it hadn't been for the Benicio part of the clue.

Also weird -- as of now, 91% got Frida Kahlo but only 45% got her husband, Diego Rivera.

Agreed, Rivera is one of my favorites. But, Kahlo's estate is better at merchandising. I actually saw Frida Kahlo-branded lip gloss at Walgreen's pharmacy. I get that she was a style icon but you wonder how she would have felt about that.

For Frida's husband, my hands went faster than my brain and I typed in the second part of the name of the island in the Indian Ocean. That was a surprising correct answer.

Surprised Alfonso Cuaron wasn't on here. (He has more Oscars than Del Toro, if that means anything.)
