A Weekend with Diego Luna
We caught the future dad
in full football [soccer] action, at the tacos of The Villamelón
with his wife Camila, and filming his next movie.
Passion for Football
[Soccer]
Diego came to the grounds
of a soccer league at the south of the city shortly before nine in
the morning. All the players of the team arrived on time, warmed up
and came out to the field. Among the members is Oswaldo Benavides,
Diego's old friend, who started the match. Luna, on the other hand,
had his opportunity as a forward up until the second half.
Two hours later, the team of actors celebrated their victory of
three goals to zero.
Camila’s Cravings
The day after the
soccer game we find Diego Luna and Camila Sodi at The Villamelón
taco bar, a traditional place situated along side the Plaza de Toros
[bull ring] of Mexico, whose specialties are tacos campechanos that
have long pork sausage, cured meat and
chicharrón [which
can be either fried pork skin or blackened meat]. There we notice
that Camila, about six months pregnant, seems most beautiful and
content.
They ate standing
up, without a worry in the world. They stayed almost an hour and then they
went to Starbucks, where Camila asked for a Café Americano and took
advantage of buying the Sunday newspaper. Then the couple, which has
been married for two months, returned to their home.
In the evening
they went to the City Theatre in the Historic Center to see their
friend Gael Garcia’s play Together. They
arrived at the back door so that nobody would bother them. At the
exit, they came across dozens of photographers, who crowded together
to catch them.
Diego’s New Movie
The future father
came to the filming of the movie Sólo quiero caminar (I Only Want
to Walk), where he shares credits with Victoria Abril, José
Maria Yazpik and Elena Anaya. The film’s director, Agustín Díaz
Yanes, and the cast were in Mexico for eight weeks shooting several
scenes.
The actors of the
full-length film also gave a press conference in the Lebanese Club,
south of Mexico City. Diego Luna was very kind with the media that
asked him about his professional projects. To those that questioned
him about his private life he answered, “There is a time for
everything, I am thankful to those that ask me about my new life and
the fact that I will be a dad soon, but out of consideration for all
those here, it is better that we talk about the movie.”
In a few days
Diego will travel to Spain to film the final scenes of Sólo
quiero caminar, a production that will be in theatres the
middle of next year.
