When did Noah Centineo and Lana Condor first meet?
Noah Centineo recalls when he and Lana Condor first met
The pair first met on the set of To All The Boys back in 2017 and it turns out their first conversation was pretty awkward!
Noah joined The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon earlier this month and spoke about their first encounter, saying: “What I like to do with my auditions is, I like to run lines before the actual chemistry reading and before the actual audition with other people in the room because I feel like it’s a good way to break the ice.
“I see Lana at the chemistry reading and I didn’t realise that she had booked the role … I thought she was also there for chemistry reading as one of three girls like I was one of three guys. And I was like, ‘Hey do you maybe wanna run lines?’ and she was like ‘Nah, I’m OK.'”
Lana also recalled their first encounter in an interview with MTV News, where she revealed the real reason she declined was in case she got distracted, and honestly, we feel her.
She said: “I went in for pre-reads for the audition process and I look up and I see this gorgeous, tall, beautiful man that is Noah walk through the door. And I was like 'NOT TODAY' and I kept reading my sides, like 'I will not get distracted, I will not get distracted'.
"And I start feeling his presence coming towards me and he sits down right next to me. He was like 'hey, do you want to read lines together?' and I was like 'no sorry' and went back to reading my sides.”
Years later and they’ve finally overcome the extremely awks moment!
