It took three seasons and nine episodes, but in the final weeks of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, the teen romance series introduced a love interest for Belly (Lola Tung) that wasn't a Fisher brother (or Cam Cameron). After Belly called off her wedding to Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and made a spur-of-the-moment move to Paris, she made a group of friends that included Benito. Or, as Taylor (Rain Spencer) nicknamed him, "sexy Latino Chalamet."
Portrayed by rising actor/filmmaker Fernando Cattori, Benito is just the kind, hot, Neruda-quoting fling that Belly needs during her Parisian year of self-discovery. Though she ultimately chose Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) ahead of the upcoming The Summer I Turned Pretty finale movie, the TSITP fandom isn't likely to forget Benito soon, thanks in large part to Cattori's charming performance in his first-ever English-speaking role. Below, read on to meet Fernando Cattori and learn more about the Mexican breakout star, including his sweet friendship with Lola Tung.
