Diego Luna News: No More Katy Perry Videos? Actor Shifts to Directing

The singer's "The One That Got Away" guy revealed that he won't be concentrating on appearing on screen nowadays.

Instead, Diego Luna will be taking the director's seat, he said in an interview with Efe, reported Fox News Latino. The Latin actor was present during Spain's San Sebastian Film Festival.

"I have not found a more comfortable place, directing is my priority and my clearest goal," the actor said.

Luna was promoting his film, "Cesar Chavez", a biopic of the National Farm Workers Association co-founder. Chavez was also a labor leader on top of being a farmer advocate.

According to Luna, the biopic of the Latin American civil rights activist was inspired by the similarity between Chavez story and that of his own child.

"Since 'Y Tu Mama Tambien,' I started to spend a lot of time in the United States and my son was born there. This film starts out with the intention of telling a story from the place where my son was born, and about that biculturalness, that ambivalence of belonging to a place and having so much history in another," Fox News Latino quoted Luna as saying.

At present, the actor has his hands full penning "Mister Pig" with Augusto Mendoza, said Fox News Latino. The duo has previously worked together in Luna's first ever directorial film, "Abel" in 2010.

Aside from "Mister Pig", Luna is also set to work with A&E Network which is planning to bring the Mexican series "Nino Santo" to US TV. According to Variety, the story is about a group of young doctors who have seemingly become converts after witnessing Nino's miracles.

Luna is one of the executive producers of "Nino Santo" along with Pablo Cruz and Gael Garcia Bernal.

It looks like Luna indeed has his plate full with various roles off-screen but he has several notable films under his belt including "Y tu mama tambien", "Frida", "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights", "The Terminal", "Milk" and "Contraband" among many others.

But what really had the actor's face engraved on most people's mind was his appearance on Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" music video in late 2011. The two were even rumored to be dating.

The actor has since clarified that the alleged relationship between him and Perry was only business. "It was only work," he said at that time, quoted Fox News Latino in another report.
