Any Real Salt Lake or United States Men’s National Team fan who has gone searching for Diego Luna’s stats online has probably found that he is not the only celebrity with that name.
Searches for Diego Luna the soccer player have to be specified with “RSL” or “USMNT” because Diego Luna the actor is primarily the first search result, and while the meeting between the two Diegos probably only struck a chord with a very niche audience, it was cool to see worlds collide between two starts who proudly represent their Luna name.
