reported from the SAG awards in Los
Angeles (on
Jan. 25, 2009) that Diego Luna
was being a dutiful hubby and
daddy-to-be when he won the role of
Jack Lira in director
Gus Van Sant's
Milk.
"My wife was pregnant, and I went to buy Cocoa Puffs," Luna recalled. "She needed so badly her Cocoa Puffs, so I went to a store and was buying many boxes to take to Mexico. That's when I got a phone call from Gus. He said, 'Man, I want you to do the film.' It was like only an hour and a half after I met him."
Luna's wife, Camila Sodi, gave birth to son Jerónimo in August (2008). "He's beautiful, the best," Luna said. "They're in Mexico right now because I am doing theater there. I so want to go back."
