Aitor Luna Facts
He was not the 1st choice for the role of Arnau in the TV series adaptation of Ildefonso Falcones’s novel, La catedral del mar (2018).
Both his brother, Yon González and a fellow actor Quim Gutiérrez were considered for the male lead role of Arnau. Yon dropped out in favor of playing the lead role of Francisco Gómez in the TV series Las chicas del cable.
To play the role of Arnau Estanyol, he had to read the entire book in just 5 days as he didn’t plan on landing it. The 1st thought that came to mind when he was cast was “Aitor, you’re in sh*t up to your neck!”
His natural beard was only grown to a little longer than stubble in La catedral del mar (2018). Because his character returned from the war, the series required him to have very long hair and beard, which had to be applied in the makeup/costume department.
In 2010, Aitor won the Award of the Spanish Actors Union for “Television: Supporting Performance, Male” for his role in the TV series Gran Reserva (2010-2013).
Aitor likes fashion but doesn’t practice it a lot as he hates shopping and rarely thinks about his outfits.
In his opinion, Spanish cinema needs “more money and less untalented people who wander around their business.”
He prefers filming outside rather than on a closed set in a studio.
Aitor wanted to learn English so he could expand his work borders. He landed a scholarship in New York City, New York, but later dropped out because he didn’t like their acting method and preferred to be “self-taught”.
In New York, he worked as a waiter and was also at the door receiving people at events.
Besides the English/American market, Aitor is also interested in acting in French.
Aitor is a big animal lover and is a frequent shelter visitor and helps with adoption.
He supports the feminist movement.
Aitor is passionate about riding powerful motorcycles.
