Diego Luna Alexander was born on December 29, 1979, in Mexico City, Mexico. His upbringing cultivated an early interest in entertainment, influenced by his father, Alejandro Luna, a respected theater, cinema, and opera set designer. Luna’s acting career began at a young age with roles in Mexican television and theater. His early television work included appearances in “The Last New Year” (1991) and the Mexican soap opera “El abuelo y yo” (1992). These formative experiences led to more significant parts in local productions.
A pivotal moment in Luna’s career occurred in 2001 when he starred in the critically acclaimed film “Y tu mamá también” alongside his childhood friend, Gael García Bernal. This role brought him international recognition and propelled him into the American market, where he subsequently appeared in films such as “Vampires: Los Muertos” (2002) and the Oscar-winning “Frida” (2002). Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Luna continued to balance Mexican and American projects, appearing in diverse roles ranging from blockbusters like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (2016) as Cassian Andor, to independent and animated features such as “The Book of Life” (2014).
Beyond acting, Luna has established a significant presence as a director and producer. He co-founded the production company Canana Films in 2005 with Gael García Bernal and Pablo Cruz, which has produced numerous Mexican film and television projects. After departing Canana in 2018, Luna and Bernal launched a new production company, La Corriente del Golfo. His directorial credits include the films “Abel” (2010), “Cesar Chavez” (2014), and “Mr. Pig” (2016). Luna also created and directed the Amazon Prime Video talk show “Pan y Circo” (2020) and the Netflix scripted series “Everything Will Be Fine” (2021). His work on the Disney+ series “Andor” (2022–2025), where he reprised his role as Cassian Andor and served as an executive producer, earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor – Television Series Drama. In 2025, Time magazine recognized him as one of the world’s 100 most influential people.
