Lana Condor is getting candid about her not-so-low-key fangirl moments.
The To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before actress stopped by The Late Late Show With James Corden on Monday (February 10), where she opened up about her fangirl moment with David Beckham during a chance encounter at a supermarket six years ago.
“I stalked David Beckham around the Whole Foods on Santa Monica,” Lana admitted.
“You followed him all around the supermarket?” James asked.
“Throughout the produce,” Lana clarified. “I finished at the cashier and I thought I was being so low-key — [but] you always know when you’re being followed, you just do — and finally he looked at me… and was like, ‘Would you like a picture?'”
The 22-year-old actress totally gets it now though – she’s been catapulted to stardom on the hit Netflix film. And her first fan encounter actually happened BEFORE the film dropped on the streaming service.
“I was working out and then I went into the sauna butt naked as one does after a workout — well as Lana did,” she said. “And I was sitting there and then all of a sudden I just hear squeals and the door whips open and it’s a group of girls who run in on me and I’m like, ‘Ah!’ They ran in and they were like, ‘Oh my god, you’re Lara Jean!'”
“[That] was a really big wake-up call,” she added.
TATBILB’s sequel, To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, drops on Netflix Feb. 12. The film follows Lara Jean’s and Peter Kavinksy’s love story from the first film – but with some juicy twists. Just as her onscreen relationship with Noah Centineo’s character becomes official, John Ambrose McClaren (played by Jordan Fisher), the recipient of Lara Jean’s (Lana Condor) first love letter, shows up and shakes things up.
“The whole movie is like two movies in one, kind of,” she previously shared with Entertainment Tonight. “We have the Peter and Lara Jean story but we also have the Lara Jean and John Ambrose story, and it is a fully flushed, more mature movie, which I really, really like. We’re just doing the same [thing] and making it better, which is great, and having more boys!”
