Diego Luna Reflects on Career Growth from 'Y Tu Mamá También' to 'Andor'

The actor shares insights on his evolving creative philosophy, shaped by early mentorship and his Star Wars journey.

Diego Luna credits 'Y Tu Mamá También' as the cornerstone of his career, launching him onto the international stage with screenings at Venice and San Sebastian film festivals.
Mentorship from director Alfonso Cuarón inspired Luna to expand his creative pursuits, including directing and producing, beyond acting.
A pivotal meeting with Gareth Edwards led Luna to join 'Rogue One,' drawn by the director's vision for a naturalistic, improvisational Star Wars film.
Luna reflects on his initial belief in limitless creative freedom after 'Rogue One,' later tempered by lessons learned on 'Andor' about working within creative constraints.
He emphasizes gratitude for starting his career in Mexico, working with close friends and influential directors, which deeply shaped his artistic approach.
