Roberto considers himself a "third culture kid":

Roberto was born to Mexican parents, grew up mostly in Switzerland and now lives in Los Angeles, leading him to describe himself as a "third culture kid". The actor said: "It's where your parents are a certain culture, you relate mostly to a different culture, and then you grew up in a place that's neither of those two cultures… [and] the cool thing about it, is you fit anywhere."

He's a talented actor and producer

Roberto has starred in a number of films and television programmes including Boulevard, the last film Robin Williams starred in before his death in 2014. The 27-year-old paid tribute to the late actor in August, writing on Twitter: "No words can encapsulate your genius, and no adjectives can touch your greatness. Miss you boss."

He met Emma on the set of Harry Potter:

Speaking about his friendship with Emma in 2012, Roberto told Just Jared about how they met: "I was doing an internship in the special effects department at the time. And one day we had a chance encounter that led to us spending half a day together exchanging stories and dance moves."

Roberto says Emma is one of his best friends:

Following their chance encounter Roberto said: "We never really lost touch after that and now she's one of my best friends." In fact the pair are so close they have made a couple of red carpet appearances together over the past three years, including the Tribeca Film Festival in April and the Struck By Lightning premiere in 2012.
