Happy Birthday: Diego Luna

Diego Luna

Born: December 29, 1979 in Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico

[on Hollywood] This is the place where they make the most movies and I want to work here. But I don’t have this feeling like, oh, I want to live in the United States and make movies and become famous just because the money is here. I like to make movies that tell stories that I care about. I wish someday that a movie like Y Tu Mama could be made in America.

[on Y Tu Mamá También (2001)] When you do something small but you put your whole heart into it, it can be very powerful. It can change your whole world. This movie made it possible for me to work in Spain and in Hollywood, and it brought me the attention to do interviews in a country that is not mine. I think one of the things that made the movie so successful here is that it’s not a movie that you can imagine being made in America.
