Lana Condor reveals she ‘feels safe’ with fiancé Anthony De La Torre

Lana Condor gushed over fiancé Anthony De La Torre as she talked about her recent engagement and representation of Asian people in movies in an interview.

In a conversation with Grazie, the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before star expressed her thoughts on the common narrative associated with the emotion of love that it has to be ‘difficult’.

The 24-year-old said, “There’s this weird misconception that love has to be difficult. It’s messy and painful and there’s so much passion, your world burns down.”

“It’s beautiful on paper, but it’s not right. Love should feel safe and comfortable”, Lana continued. “With Anthony, I feel like I’m in a cocoon. Love doesn’t need to break you apart.”

Sharing an incident from the time when Anthony had not proposed to her, he hinted on giving her a wooden engagement ring.

Recalling it, she said, “A few years ago, (De La Torre) goes to me, ‘Wooden engagement rings are all the rage now.’ It was not funny at all.”

“I was like, ‘If you think for a second you’re getting me a wooden ring, you got another thought coming!'” she added.

Talking about the Asian representation in Hollywood films, she noted, “Something I loved and will always love with To All the Boys… is that everyone falls in love. Period. Asian girls fall in love, too, and it’s not a weird mystery."

Lana Condor went on to say: “I don’t understand why love stories in the past — and still right now — have been reserved only for white people. That’s not fair nor is it realistic."
