". Now the fact that Neutrogena wanted to work with me, and wanted to an Asian-American face to be a part of their brand - that is just so iconic and a staple in so many peoples homes - that meant the world to me.I read this book, of course, because I worked on the movie!! I really enjoyed it because I had become so familiar with the story we were telling in the movie, and it made things even better being able to get more details. "Being an Asian-American woman, when I was growing up I didn't often, if ever, see a face that looked like me in mainstream, household name brands," she says.
It's the ultimate honor," Condor continues. "I feel really grateful and fortunate that I'm even in this position in the first place, to even have even the smallest amount of influence."Ĭondor says she considers her new job "the perfect partnership" and "one of the biggest honors" in her career, largely thanks to the brand's dedication to diversity. similar to past characters that I've played. "All the time young girls will come up to me and tell me how they feel represented and how they feel. "I do feel like I was kinda put on this earth to make people feel seen and loved and wanted," she explains. "I think that's just the way that my mom raised me, but I just feel the responsibility is one that I am meant to do and I love doing it." So amazing, in fact, that Condor is itching for a proposal from her longtime beau.Ĭondor wants her fans to know that voting is important because "as a human being you matter, your voice matters," a message she also hopes to bring to her new job as a spokesperson for Neutrogena. Obviously there are days where I'm like, 'You stay downstairs!' But for the most part, it has been amazing." He makes me laugh and there's no one that I would rather just sit next to.
"I feel like we've grown a lot," Condor continues. ". So now that we actually have gotten this time to really be able to talk with each other and make up for the days that we didn't put as much effort as we would like into our relationship, that has been really amazing." "I feel like I got really, really busy in the past couple of years, and I realized how much sometimes I would neglect our relationship because I was just busy," she admits. Prior to their work-required separation, though, Condor says her relationship only grew stronger in quarantine. "I have nightmares, so I'd wake up and be like, 'Anthony?' and he'd be like, 'Yes?' So we did that." "When I was in Canada, every night we would put our iPads next to our pillows and we fall asleep on FaceTime," she shares. It's nice to have someone who went through it with you, who can relate to the same thing that you're going through." I've always felt really grateful for him because, what we went through in the past three years of these movies has really changed both of our lives," she explains. "I talk with Noah all the time and he's a really good friend of mine. The actress tells ET that she's "grateful" her co-star has been by her side through it all.
Since the first film premiered on Netflix back in 2018, Condor and Centineo's star power has risen. She's going off to college and everything, so it does feel like a proper ending." But I think we also need to focus on who she is as a young woman and what she's gonna do with her future. "It's not about, oh, is she gonna pick a guy and all the love triangles all these things, which are great. "Our movies are romantic comedies, so they are a lot about the guys, but I do believe that the third movie is truly about Lara Jean," she continues.
