To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before star Noah Centineo really got in the headspace of Peter Kavinsky. (That’s why he’s your internet boyfriend now, after all.) Noah, like you, has dissected Peter’s relationship with Lara Jean enough to be able to pinpoint the exact moment he fell for her, because of course he did.
“From the beginning, Peter is interested, like from that first remark about her shoes,” Noah told TheWrap. Aww, how romantic!
“In his first scene, we meet Peter, I think he’s interested. But I think he really, really realizes this is the girl for him in the kitchen scene when they’re at Peter’s house and they’re kind of just opening up their family history to each other.”
It makes perfect sense that Noah’s able to analyze Peter, since they’re both pure and wholesome men. Lana Condor told Mashable that during filming, Noah did something very Peter Kavinsky-worthy: giving Lana company in her apartment after she got some bad news. “There’s a reason the world is thirsting after him. He’s a great guy!” Lana said.
It looks like Noah is working his way to becoming the new sweet prince of streaming service rom-coms: he’s in the new Netflix movie Sierra Burgess is a Loser, which also stars Stranger Things’ Shannon Purser. Noah plays a sensitive jock/poet who means to send a text to a mean cheerleader but sends it to Shannon Purser’s band geek character instead. My guess is that he’ll see her for her beauty inside?
I am eating all of this emotionally intelligent hunk fodder completely up. Noah Centineo, your sweet dedication to your romantic comedy roles may be what it takes to teach a generation of girls how to trust men again.
