- Hey, I'm Lana Condor and I'm here at Buzzfeed
and I'm gonna be answering fan questions
while I play with puppies!
Ah, okay!
(upbeat music)
Hi angel,
hi baby.
I can't, stop it.
How are you supposed to answer questions like this?
Yes, yes, I know, I know.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, I guess I gotta answer some questions.
Do you want to pick?
What advice do you think Lara Jean
would give to Saya and vice versa?
Lara Jean would give the advice to Saya
to be less aggressive,
to chill out and just write a letter.
You don't gotta go around swinging swords,
you can write a letter.
And I think Saya would tell Lara Jean to
stand up for herself more.
I know, I know, I know!
I stand up and it stood up.
Do you feel like you're more like Saya from Deadly Class
or Lara from To All The Boys?
I definitely feel like I'm more like Lara Jean
from To All The Boys I've Loved Before
because for a major reason, I don't kill people.
And also because I, I don't know,
I think Lara Jean is so, she's sweet and she's friendly
and Saya's not very friendly.
What's a role you auditioned for that you didn't get
but really wanted?
I auditioned for Star Wars, I didn't get that.
Or, you know what I really, really wanted,
there's show called Runaways
and I really, really wanted, very badly
and I was so close and then I didn't get it.
And then I ended up getting To All The Boys instead.
Which, I am very, very happy about.
It's super early on, but what can you tease about
the To All The Boys sequel?
What are you most excited for?
Well, I'm really excited,
there's gonna be a new love interest
along with Peter Kavinsky,
there's gonna be a new love interest, John Ambrose,
which is gonna be epic.
So, I'm really excited about that
'cause I really can't wait to see the drama
between the two boys, get fought over, I love that.
So I can't wait for that
and I can't wait to see my sisters again,
Janel and Anna, I'm very, very excited to see them.
Who is your dream actress to work with and why?
Emily Blunt is my dream actress to work with
and I actually was super close to her
at the Golden Globes this weekend
but, of course, I'm not confident enough yet to meet her.
But I will, someday, someday I'll go up and say hi.
I love her so much, she's amazing.
I love that she's such a family person as well,
she makes time for her family, what's really important.
Hi, yes, hello.
I know, are you excited, you're on Buzzfeed.
How does it feel to have seen
such little Asian representation on screen
when you were younger, to now becoming
one of the people who's been an inspiration
to the Asian community?
I'm so emotional right now 'cause I want these dogs
and that question made me emotional.
I think growing up I didn't see,
I didn't see myself represented that much on screen,
almost to the point where I didn't know
that that was something I was missing from my life.
And so I decided I want, that's all I wanted to do,
I wanted to show younger girls
someone that looks like themselves on camera
so that they believe they can do it, too.
Shit, the industry's hard enough
and there's been so many young girls
who've actually come up to me sense Lara Jean
and sense All The Boys and Deadly Class,
that have been really emotional
and really excited to see someone that looks like them
and they feel seen and heard
and it's really an amazing and magical experience.
These boots are designer, but you are the only person
who can ruin them and I won't even be mad.
Just get it, just get it.
What's your favorite movie of all time?
Devil Wears Prada.
Devil Wears Prada is my favorite movie.
What she goes, she goes, that's all.
And I love that and I did that to my parents
after watching Devil Wears Prada, I don't know,
when I was 12 or 13 or whatever.
After that I would only go, that's all to my parents.
They're like, this girl.
When Noah was here he did an impression of you,
what's your best impression of Noah?
Well, obviously the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Obviously that but also he goes like this a lot.
He's like so broy and broad.
So he'll be like, you know what I mean, yeah.
He does that a lot.
But the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
is definitely my best impression of him.
Who is your celebrity crush growing up?
Oh that's easy, Zac Efron was my crush.
Zac Efron, I was the perfect age for High School Musical,
I was the demographic.
♪ Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on me ♪
I was like yes, I feel that angst.
No, I've never met Zac Efron and I really,
I don't think can.
I don't think I can, I don't think my life will be the same
after I meet him.
So I think it's probably for the best
and I don't think I'll be able,
I'll make, I think I'll throw myself to the ground
and die after that.
You want to read this for me?
What was it like working with Janel Parrish?
Do you ever watch Pretty Little Liars?
Working with Janel Parrish was amazing
because she played my older sister
but I felt like she was my older sister in real life.
And of course I watched Pretty Little Liars
and I'm such a big fan.
And she's, just a genuinely, the most amazing person.
And she provided so much advice for me and help
because she's been doing this way longer than me.
So she's just been amazing and I feel like
I could talk to her about anything.
What inspired you to take the role of Lara Jean?
Her good heart, that's what inspired me,
her good heart.
You know what, I bet you have a good heart.
If you and Noah were to remake an iconic rom-com together,
which one would it be and why?
I guess, maybe Bridget Jones' Diary,
that would be really fun.
Or Devil Wears Prada.
That's like an ish a rom-com.
Do you think Lara Jean will ever get her scrunchie back?
I don't know, I don't think so.
Also, I don't think Lara Jean wants her scrunchy back
because I think Lara Jean is a smart women
and she knows don't share hair products.
And not with Genevieve,
you don't know what she has in her hair.
So I don't think she wants it back
but it's funny because ever since I did the movie
a lot of people will send me scrunchies.
Let's do one more.
You want to do one more?
Yes we do, we want to do one more.
Who is your favorite Disney princess?
Mulan, of course, I'll make a man out of you,
Mulan, Mushu, not a princess
but in the family.
All these puppies are available of adoption
through North Shore Animal League America.
They are the cutest ever.
Thank you so much, this has been so much fun.
Best interview of my life.
Make sure to watch Deadly Class on Sci-Fi
January 16th, it's gonna be epic.
And yeah,
bye!
(happy music)
