A native of the Dominican Republic, Celestino is the youngest of six children. His family immigrated to the United States when he was five years old, settling in New York. They eventually landed in Miami where he began his acting career. One of his first credits was appearing in the independent film “Carlita’s Secret” opposite Eva Longoria. Celestino actually auditioned for “2 Fast 2 Furious” while in Miami, and didn’t get the role, which motivated him to seriously pursue this career path.

While acting is one of his greatest passions, Celestino lives an eclectic and exciting life outside of the characters he portrays. He loves antique motorcycles and cars and is an urban shaman currently authoring two books on his earth-based spirituality. Possessing a flair for fashion, he and his wife design jewelry and collaborate on several collections, including an ultra feminine goddess collection that empowers women, and an earthy unisex collection called “Ushaman Tribe” that mixes gold, leather, and power stones. Some of his designs where actually used on “The Fate of The Furious.” Celestino currently resides in the LA area with his wife, and their two pit bull rescues.
