You've probably known of Diego Boneta as Drew from Rock of Ages, where he played the dreamy eyed kid with rockstar fantasies. Or more recently, as the titular character in Luis Miguel: The Series. Or, if you're a lover of teen shows from the early to mid 2010s, you know him as a heartthrob who graced Pretty Little Liars, Scream Queens and Beverly Hills 90210. Or, you know him from his incredibly successful career in music and telenovelas in Mexico. The point is: one way or another, you've heard of Diego Boneta. And if you haven't, you have now.

We caught up with him on his way to the airport to talk about his new movie, upcoming projects and starting his own production company during the pandemic.

And, you know, since we were shooting a year ago, and it was COVID times, we all had to be in a COVID bubble, which, at the end of the day, made us super tight because we would hang all the time. That's something that rarely happens is that even after you're done shooting a movie. Like, you normally don't see your fellow cast-mates until you start doing the promo tour, and here we all hung out after we wrapped. Read More...
