I think we can all agree that we fell in love with Peter Kavinsky in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before the moment we saw him on screen. He’s given us an unrealistic expectation about love, but we all still want our own Peter Kavinsky in our lives. Someone who will carry our scrunchie on their wrist during a party and drive across town to get our favorite Korean yogurt.
If you haven’t watched To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix yet, then I’ll tell you a little about it. TATBILB is a Netflix teen rom-com about a girl named Lara Jean Covey (Lara Condor), who is a junior in high school, who writes five love letter to her past crushes as a way to cope let out all those feelings she’s had for them in the past. One day, all of those letters are sent out to all the boys she’s loved before. Peter Kavinsky ( Noah Centineo) was one of the boys who was graced with a love letter from Lara Jean.
As much as we all love Peter Kavinsky, we are also completely in love with Noah Centineo, the actor that portrays him.
He’s a natural charmer who trapped us with his cute face, personality, and impressively cute improv. Remember the scene where he smoothly moved the popcorn during his pillow fight with Kitty?
Remember the iconic hand in pocket spin?
ALL IMPROVISED BY NOAH.
Director Susan Johnson even confirmed that Noah was just a natural flirt and that he knew what he was doing during all those scenes that made us melt (especially the hot tub scene).
No wonder we all fell for him. He’s the definition of a soft boy who doesn’t care about hyper-masculinity and is comfortable in his own skin without thinking he has to be some macho man all the time. He’s a complete sweetheart who cares for those around him. Lana Condor, who plays Lara Jean, once said in an interview that she was feeling pretty down one day during production and texted Noah that she wasn’t feeling too good. As soon as he read the text he got the bill and ran to their apartment building (which was seven blocks away by the way) just so he could take care of her and make sure she was alright. He cleaned her entire apartment and swaddled her with a bunch of blankets.
Plus, He can go from a clean shaved innocent baby.
To a scruffy hottie that makes you swoon and smile like a goofball.
Noah Centineo broke the internet the day To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before came out. He’s our favorite internet boyfriend and now he’s probably yours.
