Diego Luna Alexander

Diego Luna's films have been extremely popular over the past two decades. World recognition came to the actor after the release of the drama "And Your Mom, too", as well as the cult films "Dirty Dancing-2: Havana Nights", "Harvey Milk" and "Rudo and Kursi".

Diego Luna Alexander was born in December 1979 in Mexico City, into a wonderful creative family that had a close connection with the world of cinema. Anglo-Mexican blood mixed in his veins. Mom, Briton Fiona Alexander, was a talented artist and costume designer, and his father, Alexandro Luna, made a career in cinema and theater: he is a famous production designer in Mexico.

Diego hardly remembers his mother: the woman died in a car accident when her son was barely two years old. A year later, the boy made his film debut in an episode. His father often took him with him to the set and to the theater. He strongly supported and encouraged the boy's interest in theater and cinema, hoping that his son would continue the family tradition.

Diego Luna entered the stage at the age of 7, having received a small role in the play. At the age of 10, he played a prominent role in the popular TV series Carousel. It happened in 1989. From that moment on, the young actor often appeared on the screen in episodes or small supporting roles.

And in 1992, Luna, together with childhood friend Gael Garcia Bernal, delighted viewers in the wonderful telenovela "My Grandfather and Me", which almost every second inhabitant in Mexico watched.

Since the late 1990s, Diego Luna's cinematic biography has developed rapidly. The young and talented actor regularly starred in top-rated melodramas and TV series, the most striking of which was the serial project "The Biggest Prize".

World recognition for the Mexican came after the release of the drama of the famous director Alfonso Cuarona "And your mother too". Luna, along with Gael Garcia Bernal, played a key role here. The film was nominated for the main world film award "Oscar" for the best screenplay. And the artist himself at the Venice Film Festival was awarded the prestigious Marcello Mastroianni prize for his work in this film.

The Latin American MTV Film Awards did not bypass the talented actor with their prizes, nominating him for the best fight and the best kiss. Diego Luna considers the film "And Your Mother Too" to be the best of his works. He also claims that this project opened the doors to him in Spain and Hollywood, and also attracted attention far beyond Mexico.

Indeed, the Spanish drama opened wide the doors to the "dream factory" for the famous Mexican. Suggestions from Hollywood directors fell on the moon. In 2002 he was invited to the picture "Frida", which received the "Oscar" statuette.

In the next two years, Diego appeared on the screens in the acclaimed "Dirty Dancing-2: Havana Nights", where he played a key character, as well as in the drama "Terminal" and the crime tragicomedy "Swindlers". These projects were not only warmly received by audiences and film critics, but also received generous box office receipts.

A new starring role was played by the Mexican in 2008. He brilliantly reincarnated as the protagonist's lover in another Oscar-winning project, Harvey Milk. Recall that the main character in this film was played by the famous Sean Penn. The entire cast of Harvey Milk was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award.

In the same year, generous with pleasant surprises, the artist starred in the crime drama "Blood Sisters", which was nominated for the prestigious Spanish Goya Prize.

In 2010, Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal appeared on the screens together again. They played the main characters and brothers in the brilliant Mexican tragicomedy Rudo and Kursi. This film broke national box office records.

At the same time, the star pleases his many fans with the American comedy "My Father's House", in which he brilliantly plays in tandem with Will Farrell. Diego Luna claims to be respectful of Hollywood, because most of the famous projects are filmed there. But he doesn't want to live there all the time.

The famous Mexican, along with his best friend Bernal, is the owner of the Canana Productions film studio. Friends mostly make documentaries. They often reveal various social problems in Latin America. The commitment to documentary is so important to the actors that they even founded the Ambulante Documentary Film Festival in their native Mexico.

As a director, Diego Luna was also able to declare himself. In 2007, he directed a documentary about Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez, and in 2010 he made his debut as a feature film director. This is the drama "Abel" about the difficult relationship between a 9-year-old son and his father. One of the producers of this project was the famous John Malkovich.

It is noteworthy that Luna in this project first appeared as a screenwriter and was even awarded the prestigious Silver Ariel award for a wonderful script. The painting "Abel" was nominated for the main award of the International Film Festival in Sao Paulo: it was nominated for "Best Foreign Film".

Films Diego Luna - "Elysium: Heaven not on Earth", "Casanova", "Rogue One. Star Wars: Tales "and" Blood Father ", released in the last 3 years, brought the Mexican star a new wave of love and popularity.

On the set of Buffalo at Night, the actor met his charming colleague Camila Sodi. She is Diego's compatriot. A year after meeting and the rapid development of the novel, the couple legalized their relationship.

In 2008, the actors in Los Angeles had their first child, Hieronimo. And in the summer of 2010, the daughter of Fiona was born. The name was given to the baby in honor of the deceased mother Diego.

But the personal life of Diego Luna and Camila Sodi soon cracked. The artists did not comment on the reasons for what happened, but in 2013 they decided to leave.
