If You Don't Love Diego Luna, You're Doing Something Wrong

If You Don't Love Diego Luna, You're Doing Something Wrong
Esquire

He goes by many names: Diego Luna. Captain Cassian Andor. The light of my life. The soon-to-be-if-not-already light of your life, too.

Already a huge star in Mexico, Diego Luna captured everyone's attention with his role in the newest addition to the Star Wars franchise, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. He plays Cassian Andor, a Captain and Intelligence Officer for the Rebel Alliance and a total cutie patootie.

Cassian Andor, caught in the action of being a cutie patootie.

But I'm not here to give spoilers, I'm here to spread love and joy and pictures of my new favorite actor. So here are the top ten reasons why Diego Luna is a literal ray of sunshine/ruining my life.

1. Look at his face.

Diego Luna's face. And what a face it is. A smile made of sunshine.

Diego Luna could smile at me any day.

2. He's a talented actor.

In an interview for "The Book of Life" with Zoe Saldana.

He has lent his skills to many films, including Rogue One, The Book of Life, Y tu mamá también, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, Elysium, The Terminal, and the Amazon original movie Casanova.

3. And he can sing, too!


In "The Book of Life," Diego Luna voices Manolo Sánchez, a bullfighter who wants to be a musician.

If I find out Diego Luna can dance, I'm going to be furious. This man is not allowed to be a triple threat.

4. ...Right. He can dance.


Okay, when do we get to see Diego Luna on Broadway?

I forgot he was literally the male lead in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. So, uh. Diego Luna, everyone. Triple threat.

5. He looks like he's in an early-2000s boy band in half his pictures.

You probably thought I was kidding.

"Our next song is called 'Girl, You're Beautiful' or something. I'm going to compliment your eyes now and tell you that you're more beautiful than you think you are."

6. He wants to touch Jabba the Hutt.

Let Diego Luna Touch Jabba the Hutt 2k17

"Luna has professed his intense desire to touch the fleshy mass that is Jabba the Hutt a frankly alarming number of times during the press circuit for Rogue One. " - Gizmodo

7. He's a force for change.

Representation matters.

Diego Luna chose to keep his Mexican accent for his role in Star Wars. This might not seem like a big deal, but being able to see a Mexican actor who sounds Mexican in such a big (and non-racially stereotyped) role in such a big movie has touched so many people, like this woman and her father.

8. Everything about him in this segment on "Chelsea."


This just in: Diego Luna eats a self-reported 5-6 tortillas a day.

In which Diego Luna shows Chelsea Handler around Mexico City and they drink mescal.

9. He was in a Katy Perry music video.


My soul hurts AKA the cutie patootie strikes again

And he looks like he should be the drummer of that boy band from #5???

10. The thing that happens 3 minutes and 30 seconds into this Ellen interview.


He's so excited. And he just can't fight it. He's about to lose control and he thinks he likes it.

He said it best himself: "Oh wow, holy crap, that's fantastic." Same, Diego Luna. Same.

And there you go. The wonderful, multi-talented Diego Luna: Rebel Captain, triple threat, proud Mexican, incredible interviewee, life-ruiner.

Here comes the smolder.

I can't wait to see what he does next.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
