Noah Centineo Is Going to Play a Fake Boyfriend Again This Summer

Look alive, people: Noah Centineo, erstwhile (and future) Boy Iâve Loved Before, noted Selena Gomez fanboy, and current corny tweeter, is returning to a Netflix near you to, once again, play a fake boyfriendâand probably find real love in the process. The streaming platform just revealed a couple of first-look photos at its newly acquired feature, The Perfect Date, with Centineo, Austin and Ally star Laura Marano (Centineo also appeared on the show as a brief love interest of Maranoâs Ally), and Riverdale actor Camila Mendes.
In The Perfect Date, which was renamed from its original title, The Stand-In, Centineo plays Brooks Rattigan, a high school student who attempts to earn money to pay for college by offering up his services as pretend-boyfriend to women âfor every kind of situation you can imagine,â per the filmâs IMDb page.
âVery Important Announcement Alert,â Netflix captioned a diptych of the film stills. âNoah Centineo will pretend to be your boyfriend this summer!â (With no release date announced yet, âthis summerâ is as close as weâre getting to a timeline right now.) âSo excited to finally talk about this!!!!,â Marano wrote in a post to her own feed. âSee you guys this summer.â (At time of publication, Mendes and Centineo had yet to repost the announcement and photos themselves.) In the two photos, Centineo can be seen on dates with Mendes and Maranoâs characters, respectivelyâout to a nice dinner, all dressed up, and at what looks to be prom or something like it.
Jenny Han, the writer of the To All the Boys Iâve Loved Before novel, commented: âOkay we need to get Peter in a tux.â In addition to The Perfect Date, Centineo will appear in the forthcoming To All the Boys sequel (in which, spoiler alert, heâs probably going to play a real, rather than fake, boyfriend), as well as Jackie Chanâs The Diary and the new Charlieâs Angels remake with Naomi Scott and Kristen Stewart.
Congratulations, Noah Centineo; youâre the fake boyfriend everyone wants to date.

Nicole Kidman in Boy Erased and Destroyer
âIn Destroyer, I play a cop whoâs been through a lotâsheâs very American, very angry, distressed, and disturbed. I wasnât the first choice for that roleâit went to somebody else and she didnât want to do it. I read the script and put my hand up and said, âWhat about me?âââ Did the wardrobe contribute to the character? We took so long to find the leather jacket that I wear in pretty much every frame of the film. I became so obsessed with that jacket, I would wear it at home. I put it on first thing in the morning. My kids visited the set and were shocked at the way I looked. You know, Iâve been working as an actor since I was 14 years old. Itâs a choice, but itâs also a calling. Sometimes, I kind of try to move away, but it always pulls me back.

Amy Adams in Vice
âMy role in Vice is Lynne Cheney, Dick Cheneyâs wife. Itâs a huge responsibility to play a living person. I didnât meet Lynne, and thatâs interesting tooâplaying somebody whoâs alive but whom youâve never met. Plus, I age from 20 to 70 in the film, so that was another challenge.â Did her conservative politics affect your performance? I really just absorbed her point of view. Whether I agree with it or not doesnât really matter. To get into character, I would have long debates about policy and politics as Lynne Cheney with our director, Adam McKay. I called him many names. I teased him about wearing shorts on set and how that was disrespectful. But I didnât swear, because Lynne wouldnât swear.
Valentino gown; Valentino Garavani earrings; Marc Jacobs boots.
Saoirse Ronan in Mary Queen of Scots and On Chesil Beach
âThis is the first time Iâve played any queen or monarch. Mary had to hold herself in a certain way when she was presenting herself at court, but when she was on her own, in her intimate quarters, she was quite different. I began to feel like a bit of a boss. A boss queen!â Did you learn any royal skills? Yes, I learned to ride. My horse in the film was also Wonder Womanâs horseâhis name is Prince, and he is the biggest diva Iâve ever met. Prince doesnât do anything for anyone, especially me, and had a nervous cough that youâd hear right before weâd do a take. Everything I did was for that horse, just to get his approval.

Lakeith Stanfield in Sorry to Bother You
âThe director of the film, Boots Riley, had been following me for quite a while before I finally met him. He handed me the script for Sorry to Bother You literally put it in my hands. I was like, Who is this strange person? When I read the script, I realized I had no idea how deeply strange he is. But his strangeness revealed itself to be another form of beauty.â Growing up, who was your cinematic crush? Jennifer Love Hewitt. I loved her. I couldnât comprehend anything, except that she was beautiful. Whatâs your favorite Halloween costume? Iâm always the Joker. Every year. Soon there will be a black Joker movie, and it will be me.
Maison Margiela Artisanal Menâs Designed by John Galliano suit; Tiffany & Co. earrings; John Hardy cross necklace; Chrome Hearts thick chain; Hoorsenbuhs long chain; Stanfieldâs own rings.
Margot Robbie in Mary Queen of Scots
What was your first red-carpet outfit? I was 18. The Australian equivalent of the Emmys is called the Logies, and I was nominated. It was my big moment, the biggest thing that had happened to me. So I went all out on the dress: It was very short at the front, long at the back, lots of layers, bright colors, and shiny fabric. It was, like, orange, black, orange, blackâwith a big bow at the back. I had stipple-looking hair, and I was very tan. It wasâŠa look. I donât regret it, because I was 18 and having fun. I can dress boring for the rest of my life.

Timothée Chalamet in Beautiful Boy
âBeautiful Boy [which is about a father and his son, who is addicted to drugs] was a script theyâd been trying to get made for 10 years. Every guy actor my age had gone up for it. Iâve been lucky, but a lot of the bigger Hollywood movies like Spider-Man, things like that, I didnât get. So, for Beautiful Boy, I did a lot of research and read about drugs, and I brought the books to my first meeting with the director. I could see in his eyes that he was thinking, This kid is nuts. But I felt this movieâthe subject of drug addictionâwas so important. I wanted to make an anti-glorification-of-drugs movie. And I think we did.â Did you meet Nic Sheff, whom you play in the film? Yes. I met him a week before we started shooting. And there was nothing about Nic that fit my stereotype of an addict. That was the learning grace of this movie: Nic is alive and well, but the reality is, itâs a day at a time. You never really beat it. You lost so much weight. Was your mom worried about you? My mom was worried! I lost 18 pounds. First, Iâm in a movie where I was having sex with a peach, and then it was like, âI got another movie!â She said, âGreat!â And then I had to tell her what it was about.

Claire Foy in First Man
Growing up, what was your favorite toy? I had a disgusting pillow until I was about 21. Shamefully, I took it to university. Do you get nervous before filming? Oh, yes, I get nervous. Itâs a gradual process of trying to work yourself up to being brave enough to be on set. You always worry that everyoneâs going to say, âOoh, weâve made a terrible, terrible mistake.â What was the name of your first pet? Thumper. And the first street that you lived on? I donât know. So youâre a one-name sensation: Thumper is your porno name. Thumper it is.
Burberry cape; Falconiere bonnet.
Eddie Redmayne in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
What was the first record you bought? Bon Jovi. âLivinâ on a Prayerâ is such a good song. I love a good emotional ballad. The greatest YouTube hole to go down is Leona Lewis when she was on The X Factor. Every week, she just came and delivered. Occasionally sheâd take her shoes off. Do you watch other reality shows? Iâm quite excited because The Hills, which is my original reality-TV guilty pleasure, is coming back. I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with Heidi Montag. Do you have a secret skill? Yes. Iâm incredibly good at being early. Iâm always the person who gets to the airport four hours early. I drive everyone crazy.
Dior Men jacket and pants; Urstadt Swan gloves; Givenchy boots.
Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther
Do you have a favorite movie villain? For me, itâs a tie between Heath Ledger as the Joker and Michael Fassbender as Magneto. Villains, like Erik Killmonger in Black Panther, are the most interesting characters. They are the ones you can empathize withâthey want you to not like them, but you can still understand their motivation.Even though youâre the villain in Black Panther, do people on the street still say âWakanda foreverâ to you? They donât immediately realize that my character is not exactly pro-Wakanda. Midway through saying something, it registers: Oh, he wasnât really with Wakanda. But by then theyâve already committed.
Is it difficult to act when youâre basically naked? Iâm always naked. So, no.

Joanna Kulig in Cold War
âThe director, Pawel Pawlikowski, wrote the part of Zula for me. I knew that the inspiration for the character came from his mother. Zula is her real name, and, like me, she was blonde. I saw her photo.â Was that the hardest part about portraying the character? No. The hardest part was the dancing. In general, I have a problem with coordination. I spent six months in a Polish folk ensemble learning how to dance. We partied together, we drank together, and weâd dance for six hours during a concert. It was like a family, and I started to build the character of Zula. Soon, I had her thoughts and personality. And I finally learned how to dance!
Chloé dress; Louis Vuitton hat.
Elizabeth Debicki in Widows
âI was a dancer for many, many years, and I thought I was going to be a ballerina. When I was about 12, I went to a summer school for the Australian ballet and I was already taller than my teacher. So I remember saying to myself, Iâm going to have to rethink this plan.â Did you audition for Widows? Yes, I put myself on tape in my friendâs garage. How glamorous! I remember wearing a lot of eyeliner. I picked out some hoop earrings. And, funnily enough, in the finished film, she ended up looking a lot like she did in my test.

Regina King in If Beale Street Could Talk
âI took a break from making films. My son, Ian, was getting to the age, around sixth grade, when kids are starting to spread their wings, and everything that was being offered to me was outside of Los Angeles, except for TV. I didnât want to travel to make films. So I like to say I was one of the first movie actors who made the leap into television.â Do they call Beale Street your comeback film? I like to use the LL Cool J song: âDonât call it comeback. I been here for years.â
Givenchy dress; Graham Tyler hat; Linda Farrow sunglasses.
Willem Dafoe in At Eternityâs Gate
âI painted in a movie called To Live and Die in L.A., but it wasnât about paintingâit was more about counterfeiting and killing people. In playing Vincent van Gogh, painting was the key to the character. I had to know what I was doing. The director, Julian Schnabel, would say, âHold the brush like a swordâ and âThereâs no such thing as a bad mark.â I began to think that painting is about making an accumulation of marks. Acting is the same: You create a character scene by scene. Itâs a series of marks that start a rhythm, and that rhythm sends you where you need to go.â Who is your cinematic crush? Warren Oates. When I saw him perform, I thought, Thatâs not an actor, thatâs a man. It kind of broke my heart to find out he was actually a trained actor.

Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie in Leave No Trace
âI play a girl who is with her father in the wild, far away from civilization. Since I live in New Zealand and couldnât fly to America, I auditioned on tape. We had a lot of props: a bucket, a toothbrush, a sleeping bag, and a rabbit named Coco. I also ran through the New Zealand bush with a GoPro in my mouth and sent that off as well. I didnât meet the director in person. Six months later, on Christmas, I found out that I had gotten the part.â
Moschino Couture dress; Capezio tights; Sergio Rossi shoes.
Steven Yeun in Burning
âI like filming death scenes. When I was on The Walking Dead, I had known for some time about my characterâs death. I was really excited for that dayâI was looking forward to getting my skull bashed in. In Burning, my death scene was really fun. That was the only time it snowed, which was unexpected, and it added some magic to the moment. Everybody fantasizes about what it would be like to die. If I could make a career out of being killed, it would be okay.â Do you have a secret skill? Yes. Iâm really good at getting parking spots. Iâm so confident that the spot is going to be there, that itâs always there. Right in front.
Gucci jacket, shirt, pants, hat, and shoes; Charvet tie.
Elsie Fisher in Eighth Grade
âI have been acting since I was 5. My first job was doing the voice of Agnes, the youngest daughter, with the big ponytail on top of her head, in Despicable Me. I was in the sequel, but I was too old for Despicable Me 3, because I canât do my 5-year-old voice anymore.â In Eighth Grade, there is a pool-party scene that is nerve-wracking. You wear a very awkward green bathing suit. Yes, it is anxiety inducing. I did not pick the bathing suit. They wanted a lime green one so my character would stick out. I still have it. I mean, I donât go to the pool that much, but thatâs my bathing suit now. I love it.

Jonah Hill in Donât Worry, He Wonât Get Far on Foot
In the film, your character, Donny, has a fantastic fashion sense. One of the things that inspired me was a photograph of Yves Saint Laurent in Morocco in the â70s. I looked at it and was like, Oh, level-10 Marrakech! So Donny wears a lot of caftans and Moroccan stuff in the movieâkind of our Tom Petty and Yves Saint Laurent level-10 Marrakech. He also has a very calm, Zen outlook on life. Donny had conquered a lot of the things that were dark and demonic about himself, and he was able to be peaceful and calm. That was a joy to play. I miss being Donnyâ even his long blond hair. What was your most memorable birthday? My mom once sent a mariachi band to play my favorite song, âFeliz Navidad.â It was winter in New York and eight mariachis played my song. I was like, âAm I hallucinating right now?â
Raf Simons coat; the Row T-shirt and jeans; Paul Smith boots.
Kiki Layne in If Beale Street Could Talk
How did you find out you had the part in Beale Street? It was nine in the morning and Barry Jenkins, the director, called and woke me up. He just got to talking and didnât introduce himself. Finally, he said, âGirl, do you even know who youâre talking to?â He went on to tell me that they were giving me the role! I was trying to rush him off the phone so I could really go crazy and cry and call my mama. What is your go-to karaoke song? âDrunk in Love,â by BeyoncĂ©. Especially if youâve got somebody thatâll hold down Jay Zâs part. Thatâs definitely the move. I feel like you have mood hair: Sometimes itâs long, sometimes itâs shortâup, down. Oh, yeah, we gotta switch it up. You never really know how itâs gonna be: Will it be curly? Straight? And watch out when those colors start coming in!

Carey Mulligan in Wildlife
âPaul Dano, who cowrote and directed Wildlife, called me and said he was going to send me the script. I was kind of flattered that he thought I could play Jeanette.â Sheâs a tormented character. Did you have trouble shaking her off at the end of the day? No. When youâve got kids, they expect you to come home and be Mom, not some weird drunk woman. At the end of the day, I take off that hat, leave that person at work, and come home and watch the Food Network. I love Chopped. They make disgusting things, but I do like Bobby Flay. Chopped and Bobby Flay are the perfect antidote to films like Wildlife.

Yalitza Aparicio (far left) in Roma
âThe shoot for Roma lasted six months. We shot in chronological order. It was a very long process for me. I had not seen any of Alfonso CuarĂłnâs films. I actually didnât know who he was. Alfonso asked me not to watch any of his films until we were done with the filming. He didnât want me poisoning my mind with any images or ideas.â
Marina de Tavira in Roma
âI was the only actor in Roma with any previous experience. It was really challenging. First-time actorsâand many of them were childrenâhave a completely different way of working. Alfonso CuarĂłn would play tricks on usâmake things happen that we were not expecting. That way, he made real life appear on set.â

Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns
âThe hardest thing about playing Mary Poppins was learning how to dance. One day, youâre handed a hat and a cane, and I was like, Oh, my God. And, also, the initial idea of taking on a character that iconic was daunting. But once I got over my fears, it was deliciously fun.â What was your first red-carpet outfit? It was for My Summer of Love, and I was far too tanned. I was wearing a very bright yellow dress. I always laugh at how sweaty I looked. Horrible. Who is your girl crush? Rihanna. I mean, come on. Sheâs smoking.
Louis Vuitton coat; Eugenia Kim hat; Manokhi gloves.
Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody
âThe first thing I auditioned for I almost wasnât allowed to audition for. I got a call from a casting director, and she asked to speak to the agent representing Rami Malek. I said, âUh, speaking.â She kind of laughed and said, âCall me when you have an agent.â I go, âYouâre already laughingâgive me a shot.â It was three lines in Gilmore Girls. I convinced her to let me read, and I got the part.â Besides in the film, have you ever sung any Queen songs in public? In Japan, with our version of the band, we dressed up in animal onesies and did âBohemian Rhapsody,â like the original video. It was filmed, and Iâm sure someone will get drunk and throw it out there into the ether.

Mahershala Ali in Green Book
âI hadnât heard of Dr. Don Shirley, the man with three doctorates whom I play in Green Book. I looked for his music and found him in a documentary called Lost Bohemia. I was searching for a sense of his essence. There was a healthy pressure to get it right, rather than creating something out of thin air.â Did you already know how to play the piano? No. I worked for three months so that Iâd look comfortable playing. Once I put on the ascot and sat at the piano, it helped the character pop into alignment.
Louis Vuitton shirt and pants; Churchâs shoes.
Ethan Hawke in First Reformed
âI owe a lot to Youngblood Hawke, a novel by Herman Wouk. My mother loved that book, and then she met a guy named Jim Hawke. She thought, Oh, if I have a kid with this man, he would have the last name Hawke! I think that was part of why she fell in love with my father.â When you were sent the script for First Reformed, did you immediately say yes? Well, it was written by Paul Schrader, who wrote Taxi Driver. When I first moved to New York, I saw Taxi Driver and Raging Bull on a double bill. Afterward, I went into a little bit of a funk, because I realized everything I wanted to do with my life had already been done. They had already made sense out of the universe. So when I read Paulâs script for First Reformed, I knew that he was aware of the power of movies. Where was your first kiss? The Hamilton Roller Rink, in New Jersey. Her name was Cindy, and she was wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt. It was a slow skate, and she was smoking hot. We skated around, and she said to me, âDo you like Jack Danielâs?â And I said, âYeah. Too bad heâs dead.â She said, âIs he dead?â I thought she meant Jimi Hendrix. Then she said, âHave you ever French kissed?â And I said, âYeah, man.â But I actually hadnât. So we snuck off behind the Coke machines and kissed. How was it? Well, Iâm still talking about it, and that was a long time ago
Dior Men shirt.
Amandla Stenberg in The Hate U Give
âThere was an eerie amount of similarities between my life and Starrâs, the character I play in The Hate U Give. I grew up in South Los Angeles but went to a school across town that was mostly white and privileged. Learning the language of that school, but never being quite enough for it, is both Starrâs story and my own. Like her, I learned to compartmentalize parts of myself.â What was your favorite Halloween costume? Last year, my girlfriend and I went as Austin Powers and Foxxy Cleopatra. I was Foxxy. In the movie, sheâs played by BeyoncĂ© in a big golden wig. So I was giving full naturalista mod vibes. I had all the clothes already, because I usually dress like Iâm in the â70s. Do you have any new crushes? I once said Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. But Iâm gay, so my crushes may have shifted a little bit. I feel that if youâre into â90s Leo, you might be on the path to being gay; he might be your entry point. When I look at all the boys that I thought were hot when I was younger, they all look like pretty girls. I was just in denial that I really wanted them all to have titties. So, now, if youâre into TimothĂ©e Chalamet, you could be gay. Heâs a very pretty boy.
Miu Miu coat and socks; Charvet shirt and scarf; Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Noah Centineo in To All the Boys Iâve Loved Before and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser
You are known as âthe Internetâs boyfriend.â Not me. The characters I play are the dream. Oh, to differentiate the actor from the character! Who is your cinematic crush? Carrie-Anne Moss, the woman who played Trinity in The Matrix. Iâve seen that movie maybe a hundred times, if not more. Where was your first kiss? In a hotel in Century City. I was staying there during pilot season, and there was a dance convention. I saw this girl named Mackenzie, and I asked her if she wanted to go to a movie with me. She said yes. It was Cowboys & Aliens, with Daniel Craig. So the movie ends, we get up, leave the theater, and weâre holding hands. I walk her to her hotel room and say, âGood-night kiss?â And we pecked. It was less than a millisecond. She closed the door, and that was that. I gave her my number, but I never saw her again. It was probably a terrible peck.
Prada pants; Centineoâs own necklace.
Troye Sivan in Boy Erased
âBoy Erased is about gay-conversion therapy, and when I read the script, I thought the movie was a period piece, because it would be impossible for this âtreatmentâ to still exist. But I found out that it is still really, really prevalent in this day and age. That was what fired me up about the film.â Being Australian, how did you perfect your American accent? I practiced in Ubers. I would try and get through the entire ride in an American accent, and at the end I would say, âHa ha, did you know that Iâm Australian?â What was your first audition? To play the young Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and I booked it. At the time, Hugh Jackman was the sexiest man alive, according to People magazine. I was like, âOh, my God, I am the young version of the sexiest man alive!â
Balmain dress.
Kathryn Hahn in Private Life
âI was very young when I decided acting was what I wanted to do with my life. I think I was in kindergarten. I remember always wanting to retreat to my room or somewhere private to play pretend by myself.â Were you always funny? No, I donât think so. My family is very funny, and the dinner table was like a really tough room. You had to really be on your toes; everybody in my family is very quick, very witty. In Private Life, you resemble Tamara Jenkins, the writer-director of the film, which is semi-autobiographical. Did you feel like you had a twin? No. But odd things happened: I started to take on Tamaraâs very specific way of speaking. And she had me wear a pair of high-waisted jeans that were like hers.
