Meet 'Searching' Star Michelle La with These 20 Fun Facts! (Exclusive)

The new movie Searching is the best-reviewed new movie of the weekend and it features newcomer Michelle La in one of the lead roles!

While we normally do 10 Fun Facts posts to get to know rising stars, Michelle gave us so many great answers that we doubled it for a special 20 Fun Facts post.

Michelle is making her big-screen debut in the movie and she only recently decided to become an actress, as she describes in her fun facts. She also reveals the way she met her husband, her favorite foods, and more. Check it out:

  • 1. I’m a huge science nerd. Before I started acting, I majored in Biochemistry in college and worked as a poop scientist, even though I’m a germaphobe.
  • 2. I love animals especially bunnies! I foster baby bunnies and name them after other animals like Loris, Orca, and Beluga.
  • 3. My nickname is “Apple”. Most people think this has something to do with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter but it’s actually because in middle school I bought an apple every day from the Fruit-O-Matic vending machine because there was never a line for it.
  • 4. My first spoken languages were Spanish and Korean.
  • 5. My favorite movie is Election because I love Reese Witherspoon as Tracy Flick.
