Noah Centineo Opens Up About Choosing Roles After His Overnight Rise to Fame

Noah Centineo looks so handsome on the cover on The Hollywood Reporter‘s Next Generation issue, available now.

Here’s what the 22-year-old actor had to share with the mag:

On playing love interests in both his break-out roles: “Everything that I’m doing right now, everything that I have done or everything I have lined up are stepping stones. I’m not anywhere near where I want to be…but I love love.”

On his set back after moving to LA at 16: “I had this six-month contract that didn’t allow me to audition for anything [else]. My purpose was just to act, and you take away someone’s purpose and you kind of deteriorate them.”

On deciding to leave public school: “I was like, I’ve got a callback for Lab Rats so I’m not going to go to History. I’m going to f**kin’ meet the producer. Truancy got involved…I moved across the country to become an actor, not an academic type. I know myself, I’m not gonna be a mathematician or a professor.”
