Are you fascinated by Noah Centineo’s husky voice and rough-soft look as much as we are?
Yeah, we thought so!
However, Centineo is not just another sweet Internet’s Boyfriend: in fact, the star
of “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” movies has been through pretty tough things
before he even reached adulthood.
While preparing to dig into the dark side of the heartthrob’s life, subscribe to the
“Rumour Juice” YouTube channel and stay tuned for exciting celebrity stories every
day!
What can we expect from the person behind Peter Kavinsky’s sporty, easy-going and
thoughtful character, who makes all the girls instantly fall in love with him?
Well, let’s start with the fact that Noah had tried a lot of drugs since 17.
You might say it’s typical for a spoiled teenager but things are much more complicated
with Centineo.
Indeed, he was only 15 when he booked his first role - a guest spot on the Disney Channel
sitcom “Austin & Ally”.
Moreover, his dad was an executive producer at the time, which could have been very helpful
for his son’s successful career start.
However, the main plot of Noah’s life scenario was turning around other things: the actor’s
parents divorced when he - again - was only 15.
In the aftermath, Centineo ended up living in close quarters with his mom, while his
older sister Taylor stayed with their father.
This double-split was very hurtful for Noah: in one of the recent interviews, he explained
that the divorce made him bottle up a lot of emotions, and therefore the young actor
was desperately looking for relief.
Apparently, he had a hope to find relief in non-stop partying.
Then came “the nomadic” period: thanks to good networking, he had a chance to couch-surf
in the Silicon Valley and Hollywood for four years, and it was the time when he went crazy
with all the parties and substances.
When a “Harper’s Bazaar” journalist asked Centineo about the drugs he did, the
actor bravely revealed the following: “Everything.
There wasn’t really much I wouldn’t do.
I never, ever injected anything, which is good.
I smoked a lot of things.
I was really upset, man.
It was a really dark time in my life.”
It’s hard to believe than in less than a year before Centineo became a Netflix star
and teen idol, he could be on the brink of becoming an addict.
Even though the substances seemed to be a way for him to cope with dramatic events and
seek answers to existential questions, at some point the actor came to the conclusion
that he wouldn’t go further along the drug path.
The things slowly came back to normal when the actor moved in together with his sister
Taylor.
By the way, she’s described Noah as a “cool, calm, collected guy… that is unpredictably
insane”.
Well, insane he is - let’s agree on that.
But it seems that his unpredictable energy eventually made its way to the big screen.
Before figuring out the secrets of the actor’s outstanding success, we have to ensure you:
there’s no need to worry that your idol might still be in close relationships with
“Molly” and other drugs.
What he’s up to now is complete sobriety.
The actor claims that he freaks out sometimes, but doesn’t perceive substances as a relevant
source of help anymore.
Let’s get back to Noah’s on-topic comment in the interview for “Teen Vogue”:
"I stopped doing all that and I found that a lot of problems I was having in my life,
slowly, they didn't go away, they just became way more apparent to me."
Now that the 23-year-old has been sober for three years, he has other sanity-keeping rituals,
like yoga, baths, meditation or…
Well, screaming at himself in the mirror.
You might be curious whether it’s possible at all to scream at someone with such an attractive
appearance, but let’s leave this issue for Centineo’s girlfriend.
And no: it’s not Lana Condor that played Lara Jean in “To All The Boys” movies.
Of course, after seeing Centineo and Condor on-screen together, it’s not hard to imagine
these two having a thing in real life, but there has never been a thing between them.
Unlike the movie characters, Noah and Lana created a non-dating contract before they
even started filming.
Back in January 2019, Lana admitted to Jimmy Fallon that at some point both she and Noah
had felt the energy between them, but then they mutually blew it out.
There’s nothing we can be sure about when it comes to such a cinematic couple, but let’s
leave wishful thinking for someone else: Condor has been in a happy relationship with another
actor for five years as of today, and Centineo is currently dating Alexis Rain - yeah, this
very girl that planted her tongue on the actor’s face in one of his latest Instagram photos.
Matter-of-factly, Centineo’s relationships with the “Sports Illustrated” model couldn’t
be ignored by the fans of both.
Noah and Alexis didn’t make their romance official until October 2019 at the UNICEF
Masquerade Ball, but they have been dating since early 2019 after meeting through friends
while on a hike.
Another thing that Noah has recently revealed is that these relationships are, so far, the
longest in his life, and, much like his character Peter Kavinsky, the actor’s heart belongs
to only one special woman.
Does it stop us from being fascinated by the actor and sigh heavily every time his characters
smile on screen?
No, of course not!
Despite all the tough moments Noah Centineo has been through, he seems to be at a very
good point right now, and we sincerely believe that the best is yet to come.
