Lana, Noah: Overnight heartthrobs

When To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before came out in 2018, no one could have predicted that its main stars — the then-relatively unknown Lana Condor and Noah Centineo — would experience a meteoric rise in popularity overnight.

But Condor and Centineo’s charming performances, bringing Jenny Han’s beloved novel to life, won them huge fanbases online. Ever since, both Condor and Centineo have been candid about their fame as well as their struggles. Asked by W Magazine how she unplugs, Condor said she favours the gym and yoga.

“What if the internet breaks tomorrow? Then you’d realise that you’re a human being and you’re not validated by what other people think of you, it’s how you think of yourself,” she said.

As for Centineo, he opened up to Harper’s Bazaar about using drugs earlier, now referring to himself as three years sober.

“I talk to myself a lot if I’m mad at something that I did. I’ll scream at myself, really,” he said. “I hold myself very accountable, but I can talk myself off of ledges too. And that’s a strong thing.”
