This Is a Lana Condor Appreciation Post

Sarah Shevenock

It’s safe to say that Lana Condor and Noah Centineo are the IT stars of the moment. 

After starring in Netflix’s hit rom-com To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, the duo garnered tons of well-deserved attention from fans and critics alike, with Noah developing a passionate and intense internet following (much like Timothée Chalamet at the height of the Call Me By Your Name craze).

Dubbed the internet’s next boyfriend, Noah was also featured in another Netflix original, Sierra Burgess is a Loser. 

And the obsession with Noah Centineo continued yesterday, after it was announced that he would be featured in the new Charlie’s Angels film. And while it’s great that Noah is getting work, this casting news left many fans asking one very important question—what about Lana Condor?

Lana Condor deserves just as many opportunities as her white male co-star. And in case anyone needs a reminder about how amazing Lana is, here are some reasons Lana is awesome AF. 

1. She doesn’t just act…she is also a trained equestrian. 

Lana revealed to Just Jared Jr. that she used to ride horses competitively. 

2. She’s played a bad-ass superhero. 

Lana played Jubilee in the action film X-Men: Apocalypse. 

3. She’s already landed a major TV series. 

Lana can be seen in Syfy’s new show Deadly Class in 2019. 

4. She connects with fans. 

She often talks with fans of TATB on Twitter. 

5. She’s relatable on so many levels—especially when it comes to breakfast burritos. 

 

6. She’s often hilarious on social media. 

 

7. She’s supportive of her friends and co-stars. 

8. She knows how to have fun.

As demonstrated when she played Truth or Dare with her TATB co-stars. 

9. She’s a fashion icon. 

 

10. She works hard but remains full of gratitude. 

 

11. And most importantly, she’s inspiring girls everywhere.

Basically, Lana Condor is a legend who should be in every movie. Take note, Hollywood.
