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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
