Diego Boneta, 20
This hunk was a singing sensation in his native Mexico before landing the role of Rocco in the popular homegrown soap, Rebelde. After putting out his debut album, Diego in Mexico, Chile and Brazil in 2005 and his second album Indigo in 2008, (which was produced by Kara DioGuardi), Boneta went on to play characters on hit teen dramas like 90210 and Pretty Little Liars, that were essentially versions of himself. “The characters were practically me with a different name,” said Diego of the good-natured singers he portrayed on-screen. In the upcoming movie-musical, Rock of Ages, Diego will play the lead role of Drew, alongside Tom Cruise. The talented actor-singer is thrilled to have the opportunity to marry his two passions: music and acting. "It's a dream come true," he tells Latina.com.
