Diego Tinoco Considers Sierra Capri the 'Best Scene Partner'

The Hollywood heartthrob garnered huge attention when he first appeared in the supernatural hit series Teen Wolf in season 6. However, his breakout hit was when he played Cesar Diaz in the Spanish Netflix series On My Block.

In the series, his love interest is Monse—the character played by Sierra Capri. The chemistry between their respective characters was so strong that fans speculated that they might be dating in real life.

Unfortunately, as per Distractify, the pair wasn't dating when the cameras stop rolling. But they do have a lot of respect and love for each other, as friends. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Tinoco said Capri was the best screen partner he could have ever asked for. He maintained that working with her helped him be comfortable in front of the camera. 

Sierra is such a great actress. Working with her, instantly we can just jump into it. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better scene partner. Especially for my first TV show, having a girlfriend. I couldn't have asked for a better screen lover.

Interestingly, the feeling is mutual. The actress affirmed that they grew professionally together.

In her words, she confessed, "I can honestly say the same. I feel like we've grown together."
