Dane DiLiegro, the charismatic star of Running Point, is all geared up for a sizzling summer ahead. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE for the Hot Guy Summer issue, DiLiegro spills the beans on his summer favorites. While many people may opt for an Aperol spritz or frozen margarita, DiLiegro is set to explore his burgeoning vintage wine collection for his “drink of the summer.” “I’m really getting into French wine,” he reveals, mentioning a 2005 Domaine de Trévallon as one of his top choices. Despite that, DiLiegro admits he’s not a big drinker, often preferring a Shirley Temple or a refreshing seltzer on a Friday afternoon.
Aside from his vintage wine assortment, DiLiegro boasts a stunning array of vintage promotional movie hats that make for the perfect summer fashion accessory. “You definitely need a good vintage hat to go with whatever outfit you’re wearing because it’s sunny as hell, and you want to be styling,” he insists. His ultimate summer anthem? “Luther” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, a track he describes as smooth, vibey, and breezy. When it comes to scents of the season, DiLiegro reveals his love for Hinoki and products from Fuegia, a New York City-based brand known for its exquisite fragrances.
Amidst his exciting summer plans, including a trip to Korea and Japan with NBA star Kelly Olynyk, DiLiegro reflects on his transition from a professional basketball career abroad to acting, notably his role as Badrag Knauss in the Kate Hudson-led Netflix series. Recalling his time on the court, he shares, “Being on a set, which is a basketball court, I was getting crazy flashes of my past life and my new life.” The multi-talented individual is embracing this journey of blending his passion for basketball with his newfound love for acting.
