Boneta makes his feature film debut in this summer's “Rock of Ages,” the big screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical that opens in theaters June 15. Adam Shankman directed the star-studded movie for New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.
"How exciting to think that Diego Boneta's first film role will see him share the screen with the likes of Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Alec Baldwin," CinemaCon general managing director Mitch Neuhauser said in announcing the award, which will be presented at the final night gala dinner.
A native of Mexico City, Boneta is a well-known singer and actor in Latin America. He's appeared on television in ABC's “Pretty Little Liars” and the CW's “90210,” and will be seen in MTV's upcoming new show “Underemployed.”
CinemaCon runs April 23-26.
