![]() When we first were talking years ago, she said, “I just want you as Lana and as a young Asian-American girl to have the same opportunities that Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss would have or Kristen Stewart as Bella from ‘Twilight.’” And that was before we even knew we would have three movies. ![]() We’re always on the phone for hours and hours. ![]() The movies are based on Jenny Han’s books, and it’s fun spotting her cameos in each film - what has your relationship with her been like for the past few years? I took a pair of jeans, which is not exciting, but it’s very hard to find a good pair of jeans. ![]() I have this blue silk jacket that she wears during a scene with Peter when she’s talking about people leaving - “The more people you let into your life, the more that can walk right out.” I love that. I have the hatbox, which is not a piece of clothing, but I wasn’t going to leave the set without it. In the third movie, they have this bowling jersey that we mimic from “ The Big Lebowski,” so I have that. We would meet people on the street and people would walk into the shot as we’re filming and just be like, “Oh hi! I love your movie!” And we’d be like, “You’re in it.” We were just shooting touristy things, so we got to shoot at all locations that we would have gone to as normal tourists. So I was like, who thought of this? But it was amazing. So knowing it’s the last time I’ll be in the bedroom, the last time I’ll be in the school, all these things that I’ve been spending so much time in in the past three years, is emotional. I love the movies, the friends I made in the movies, the story - I love the color scheme of our movies, the pinks and the teals. It was a crazy emotional experience, because the last few years have been the greatest ups and the greatest downs of my life. So I was just hellbent I was constantly talking to the director and the producers and writers and everyone like, “You guys, we need to show her stepping into the world as a young woman choosing herself for the first time.” I remember thinking, “How did I get here?” I wanted nothing more than to finish it the way that I would be super proud of Lara Jean. What was making this last film like for you? She’s come a long way from the hopeless romantic who wrote down her feelings in sweeping love letters rather than acting on them, a habit that set off the antics of the first film when the letters inadvertently made their way to their recipients. “To All the Boys: Always and Forever,” which begins streaming Friday, sets aside Team Josh and Team John Ambrose and Team Peter in favor of Team Lara Jean, as she finds herself on the brink of some major life decisions with high school graduation approaching. So when it came time to film the final installment, Lana Condor, who plays Lara Jean, the girl at the center of it all, was just about ready for a change of pace: “It’s called ‘To All the Boys,’” the actress, 23, said in a Zoom interview on Monday. The first two films in the Netflix trilogy “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” pretty much checked every box on the teen rom-com boy-drama bingo card: a boy next door, a boy doomed to be on the losing end of a love triangle and, most important, the boy who helps hatch a fake dating plot that inevitably becomes … not so fake.
