I find him ridiculously attractive, it's almost disturbing. Dude's choice of essentials is also awesome. He's deeper and more philosophical than your average celebrity guest. Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!

[@annanguyen2461]

i think this was the most interesting 10 essentials i’ve seen yet. you can tell Diego is an artist at heart ❤️

Diego took the essentials part literally, I think this was one step above oxygen, food and water for his survival 😂. Seems like a super talented guy I’m sure he’s going places!

Such a great actor, his performance was the highlight of Babylon and he's really good looking as well

not only is he lana del rey decoded but he reads sylvia plath. he is a NEED in my books.

Love this actor. Knew him watching him on Babylon, enormous underrated film.

[@anagabriela45]

He is giving me some Prince vibes… like he just floats in a room and dominates silently… then when he speaks its entrancing.
