The 42-year-old Mexican is one of the most recognizable Latino talents in Hollywood, a consistently reliable working actor who delivers good and often great performances when given the chance. Luna has been in Hollywood for nearly twenty years, mainly playing supporting roles, and is finally stepping into the franchise spotlight with Tony Gilroy’s slow-burn space adventure Andor, the latest entry in the ever-expanding Star Wars universe. Andor, where he also serves as an executive producer, provides Luna with his first starring role since Netflix’s Narcos and represents his first chance to lead a major franchise since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Reviews for Andor have been positive, with critics praising its slow approach and declaring it a breath of fresh air amid the increasingly formulaic projects that the Star Wars/Disney machine keeps churning out yearly. On a more personal level, Andor represents Luna’s chance to step up and prove he can carry a big-name IP on his back. Easier said than done, especially with a property like Star Wars, infamous for breaking many actors’ rising careers and having one of the most divided and openly confrontational fanbases. But Hollywood is experiencing a pivotal moment for inclusivity and support for Latino talent. And with Andor already renewed for a second season and critics and audiences rooting up for him, Luna has the chance to enter the next stage of his career. In his case, it truly is now or never.

From Mexico with love

Two young men and a woman standing together against a desertic background in the 2001 film Y Tu Mamá También.

Born in Toluca, Diego Luna has the arts running through his veins. His father, Alejandro Luna, is a theater, film, and opera set designer who encouraged his son to love and appreciate the arts, eventually leading him to pursue an acting career. Like his compatriots Salma Hayek, Eiza González, and his long-time best friend, Gael García Bernal, Luna had his beginnings on the small screen. Telenovelas are the best way for Mexican talent to make a name for themselves, providing them with enough acting experience to prepare them for the transition to Hollywood and endearing them to the Mexican audience.

Luna’s naturalistic and effortless charm was on full display from the very beginning; he often played spirited and relatable young men surrounded by chaotic circumstances. Never was his boyish appeal clearer than in Alfonso Cuarón’s 2001 road film Y Tu Mamá También, which catapulted him and co-star Gael García Bernal to international prominence. As Tenoch, Luna was a precocious talent who refused to be ignored. A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a pivotal time in Mexican politics, Y Tu Mamá También was a game-changer for Latino talent on the international stage. Not only did it make stars out of Cuarón, Luna, and García Bernal, but it redefined Mexican cinema’s reach and influence, starting a movement that placed Latino storytelling on a rising path.

By being front and center in the film that started it all, Luna and Bernal became unintentional but willing leaders of the movement. Their careers largely existed in parallel to one another, with each taking a distinctive and ultimately fruitful approach; whereas Luna favored supporting roles in such major Hollywood productions as Frida, The Terminal, Milk, and Elysium, Bernal focused on provocative and “daring,” often experimental projects that placed him front and center, like The Crime of Padre Amaro, Bad Education, and The Science of Sleep.

The result, however, was the same, as both Luna and García Bernal held the title of “most recognizable Mexican actors” in Hollywood for years — they still do, in fact. Well aware of their impact and the place their real-life friendship had on the cultural lexicon, Luna and Bernal co-starred in numerous films, although none were as influential as Y Tu Mamá También. Above all, the duo paved the way for future Latino talent in Hollywood by redefining the standards of who a leading man could be.

Breaking through

It could be easy to discard Luna’s influence in Hollywood — after all, he lacks the Oscar nomination that would turn him into a “prestige” actor or the major commercial hit that would make him a box-office draw. However, Luna’s career has something much more important: consistency. The actor has been working for over twenty years, never once failing to impress even in the smallest and most thankless roles. The longevity of his career speaks not only to his talent and resilience but his influence and impact on an industry that actively boxes Latino talent and encourages them to stay in their lane.

But Luna has never stayed in one lane, pursuing different venues, including producing and directing, exploring different genres like sci-fi and romantic comedy, and doing his utter best to break new ground for those coming after him. Luna has played the obligatory roles for a Latino working actor — mainly drug dealers and illegal immigrants –, but he’s never indulged their harmful tropes and conventionalities. There’s a dignity to his performances, a willingness to reject audiences’ expectations. Luna favors nuance and subtlety; even in Narcos‘ most brutal scenes, there’s a softness to his choices that makes him all the more compelling.

You could fault Luna for indulging Hollywood’s idea of Latino actors. You could also blame him for “glorifying” violence in a country that already endures too much of it. But there is no point in recriminating, especially when Luna has been very open about the physical and emotional hardships of playing such a figure. Actors act, and if we were to shun all who play reprehensible characters, there’d be no actors left to admire. The fact remains that Luna has been at the forefront of Latino advancement in Hollywood for years now, and his contributions often go overlooked. Narcos México gave him more exposure than any of his other projects in the 2010s, with the obvious exception of Rogue One.

We are at a crucial time for representation in Hollywood, and Latino talent is breaking casting boundaries. Luna’s Narcos co-star Tenoch Huerta will make a splash as Namor, the Submariner, in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And his best friend, Gael García Bernal, will make his MCU debut with the Werewolf By Night Disney+ Halloween special, an ode to creature features and B-horror movies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Salma Hayek, Oscar Isaac, and Pedro Pascal continue striving to increase Latino exposure in Hollywood, finally breaking into the big-budget blockbuster territory that remained closed to them for years. With Andor, Luna joins them on the frontlines, but let’s not pretend like he hasn’t been fighting this war for decades now.

The rebel at the right time

Star Wars is in a weird place. The much-maligned prequels divided the fandom, and things only worsened once the sequels arrived. You could blame Disney — their factory-like approach to “content” is certainly responsible for some of the franchise’s problems — but there’s also a case to be made that the Star Wars universe was stretched too thin, too fast. The galaxy far, far away is certainly a compelling and fascinating universe, but does that mean audiences want to spend an unlimited amount of time in it?

Andor has been both praised and criticized for marking a stark departure from the Easter egg, fan-service-dominated landscape permeating over the last Star Wars projects. Tony Gilroy’s vigorous, grounded, almost naturalistic approach to the franchise feels like a breath of fresh air amid the murky, largely homogenous styles of previous Star Wars entries. But there’s a distinctive lack of “action” in Andor, especially considering its slow-burn approach to storytelling. Gilroy is more concerned with the human side of the “Wars,” favoring political intrigue and plot rather than action setpieces and Jedi fanfare. And while Andor is far from Succession in space, it’s far more narratively complex than something like Boba Fett.

Yet, therein lies its appeal. Andor can revitalize Star Wars and make it feel timely and meaningful again, and Luna is front and center, perhaps handling the biggest challenge of his career. It’s not a matter of whether he can do it — rest assured, he can — but rather one of whether he’ll be allowed to or fall prey to the Star Wars machine. After all, this is the franchise that kept Pedro Pascal hidden behind a helmet, wasted Ewan McGregor, and reduced Temuera Morrison to an afterthought in what was supposed to be his show. No IP chews and spits out actors like Star Wars does. But Luna has faced and conquered tougher challenges; aided by Tony Gilroy’s vision and a story that lends itself to a decidedly humanistic approach, his time in the spotlight might provide him with a showcase worthy of his talents.

It’s been a long road for Luna, but he’s stayed relevant and consistent, defying conventions and even expectations. It might be exaggerated and outright insulting to call Andor his reward, but it’s certainly an acknowledgment of the place he’s crafted for himself in Hollywood. If anything, beyond what Andor achieves for its struggling franchise, the show should have a lasting effect on Luna’s long-term career. If this is his equivalent of “one for them, one for me,” then we will pay close attention to see what this fascinating and versatile actor does next. Perhaps something with the Gilroys? A spiritual sequel to Nightcrawler has never sounded more appealing.

In recent years, walking 10,000 steps a day has become a popular fitness goal, but until now, there hasn’t been much scientific research to back that number. A new study looking at people wearing fitness trackers has finally determined that it is indeed a sweet spot for a range of health outcomes, but how fast you walk is also important.

Matthew Wright and Beverley Turned joined Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond on This Morning to discuss the latest headlines. One of the topics up for debate was vaccine passports and the guests had very different opinions on whether they should be required to go into pubs and restaurants. Things got so heated Dermot had to step in to cool things down.

Beverley began: “Matthew you can shake you head in your hands but unless you can tell me why what the evidence base is for this app, for this technological invasion into our lives, it is illogical.”

“Come on, the one thing that Beverley has completely missed out, a lot of what she has said I agree with but here’s what she missed out,” Matthew replied.

“The virus can mutate if the virus exits within a community. Later on we’re going to hear children are the number one area where the virus is flourishing at the minute. In India they now have a potential double mutation.

“When we have people mixing, vaccinated or not, but when the two groups come together there is a chance we increase the chance of mutation.

“That’s the reason why despite the fact I have had the jab and many other people have had the jab and the death rates are on the decline, the hospital admissions are on the decline, that is the reason why the government still has concerns.

“So that’s the reason we need passports, potentially, I think what we’ve really got is a lack of leadership. Boris basically said ‘Oh well we can leave it to the hostility industry blah blah blah, they can decide.’

“Actually what we need is one clear line of instruction to help the hospitality industry which I think has suffered more than most.”

“That’s the way forward and for me I think it would benefit the hospitality industry far more than just reducing all the restrictions we had in the past.”

Beverley interrupted: “We can do that anyway Matthew! We can do that anyway. If we have vaccinated the most vulnerable, we are talking about this wave from Europe that’s going to come over here with mutations, the wave in Europe is the Kent virus, we gave that to them.

“We don’t need to worry about it coming back here to reinfect us.

“We should have allowed all of the young people last summer to build a herd immunity so that they would be protected now.”

“Herd immunity without vaccination is the strongest survive,” Matthew shouted.

“You are literally saying, ‘Let weak people die.’”

Beverley snapped back: “We have vaccination! We have vaccination!”

“This is one of those moments where I really wish you were both on the couch so we could interrupt,” Dermot said stepping in to cool things down.

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am.

RELATED STORIES

Today is a good day because Benedict Cumberbatch has secured another paycheck. The Sherlock actor is slated to star in a limited series, The 39 Steps, inspired by John Buchan’s novel of the same name, our sister site Deadline reports. Alfred Hitchcock previously adapted the book into a 1935 film.

The updated series, which doesn’t have a network attached yet, is described as a “provocative, action-packed conspiracy thriller” that “updates the classic novel for our times,” per the official description. It will center on Richard Hannay, an ordinary man who unwittingly becomes a pawn in a far-reaching global conspiracy to reset the world order — “39 Steps that will change the world as we know it, with only Hannay standing in the way.”

The 1935 Hitchcock film starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll found Hannay (Donat) forced to go on the lam in Scotland after being falsely accused of murdering a secret agent. He soon becomes involved with an attractive woman (Carroll) while hoping to bring this spy ring to light and finally clear his name.

Cumberbatch will executive-produce the limited series, which was created by The Revenant writer Mark L. Smith. Edward Berger, who previously worked with Cumberbatch on the Showtime limited series Patrick Melrose, has signed on to direct.

Cumberbatch — who won an Emmy and three more nominations for playing the iconic detective in PBS’ Sherlock — is also set to reprise his role as the Sorcerer Supreme in the Marvel movie sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is due for release in March 2022.

Mastermind stalwart John Humphrys will step down from hosting duties in March this year after announcing his departure from the BBC show in his Daily Mail column. The presenter began his hosting stint in 2003 but the 77-year-old has decided now is the right time for someone else to take on the role. 

John admitted he didn’t know who his successor would be but hinted at the possibility of a female host joining the show. 

Writing in his column he said: “When the present series comes to an end in March there will be someone else in the chair. 

“I wish my successor well — but I’m not sure I envy them, whoever ‘they’ may be. What are the odds on the first female?”

The presenter went on to reveal he first turned down the hosting job after mistakenly believing the BBC wanted him to appear on the show as a guest.

It took me roughly ten minutes to discover that working in showbiz is very different from working in news. For starters, you’re treated like a star.”

The former BBC Radio 4 presenter detailed the difficulties the show had when he first signed up as host. 

Mastermind has been axed in 1997 and was brought back with John at the helm. 

However, the six year gap meant producers struggled to persuade members of the public to join the show’s studio audience.

Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt usually present BBC Breakfast from Thursday to Saturday but for the second week in a row, Rachel Burden has stepped in to host in place of the 5Live host. Rachel and Charlie were on hand with the latest news headlines while Mike Bushell updated viewers on the latest sports news.

It’s not the first time Rachel has stepped in to host in Naga’s place.

However, while viewers have been concerned by Naga’s absence, the BBC Breakfast host confirmed this week she will be back presenting the Saturday instalment in a “couple of weeks”.

Fans began to question if Naga had stopped hosting the Saturday episode due to her new role presenting 5Live’s 10am slot from Monday to Wednesday.

One fan asked on Twitter: “@TVNaga01 Hi Naga! Have you stopped doing Saturday’s @BBCBreakfast now, as you’re doing your radio show as well.

“How fast do you think he would have to cycle to get up there?” she continued which left Charlie confused.

Looking at the image of Danny riding down the side of a hill, Naga explained: ”Well when you’re going up a steep slope you have to get up pretty fast otherwise you’re going to stop.”

Charlie pointed out: “The thing is right, I don’t think he cycled up here,” adding: “Look normally on a bicycle you’re going in the direction your head is facing towards.”

Naga sighed: ““I thought he was going up the other way,” before trying to move the segment along.

Alison was on This Morning to talk about her new documentary, Back To School, which airs tonight on ITV and follows the presenter as she goes on a historian journey to discover black figures who have been hidden from Britain’s history. She will highlight stories and achievements made by black people which have been overlooked in school curriculums.

But that wasn’t the only announcement Alison had to make to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

“You are also going to be a guest editor on This Morning,” Phillip revealed.

Smiling Alison replied: “I am. I’m going to whip you into shape!”

“So, being an editor on this, all decisions are made, you shape the show,” Holly remarked. “What is your show going to look like?”

The presenter explained: “Well, Holly, I’m not going to be scary, it’s just going to be a fun, packed show with a little bit of depth.

“I might change it up a little bit here, I don’t know.”

“Can we have cute animals please?” asked Holly.

Alison answered: “There’s going to be a lot of animals,” before rubbing her teeth with her finger.

“It’s on that one, this side, nearer me, nearer me,” she continued as Alison rubbed the lipstick off.

“We’ll do lipstick tips on the show,” the presenter advised as Alison stated it would be “item number one”.

The moment came after Holly thought she’d been called “Miss Piggy” by her co-star at the top of the show.

Dressed in a blue dress which was layered over a cream knit jumper, Holly looked stylish as ever.

But she broke into laughter when she thought Alison had compared her to the Muppets character.

“Alison Hammond, who is just behind my camera there, went ‘You look nice like Miss Piggy.’”

“No, Twiggy,” Alison clarified as Holly continued: “Literally three seconds before we went on air and she spat her water out across the room!”
