The first film in the series – To all the boys I’ve loved before – appeared in 2018, while the sequel – To all the boys: PS I still love you – appeared in 2020.

‘[The movie] was received better than I had ever imagined in my wildest dreams, “Condor explained. It changed a lot of my life very quickly. “

The success of the film also coincides with her set time in the SyFy TV series Deadly class – and Condor said she felt overwhelmed as a result.

“I just said yes to everything, because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Condor said, “and you want to make money out of it, and you want to feel like you’ve embracing everything fully.”

The result, according to Condor, is that she ‘never felt more awful mentally. I was so burnt out. ‘

“I would go home at night and I could not talk. I could not eat. I could not sleep. I would go to sleep when I woke up because it was just so much stimulation.”

Finally, Condor approached her team to let them know how she felt: ‘I had this moment where I was just in tears, and said I was not feeling OK. And they were all shocked because I was not open about my feelings. No one knew. When I had the conversation with them, it was like a fresh start. Now I know the power of sharing it. “

“My mom and dad are so supportive,” she continued. ‘We had conversations about’ Lana, you have to stop. You are clearly unhappy. ‘… [And I said,] “OK, let’s find out the root of it.” My parents were an amazing sounding board. ‘

Condor’s boyfriend, Anthony de la Torre, also provided emotional support: ‘He is so good at communicating, and he sincerely wants to know how I feel and what’s going on in my head, what [makes me] feel so loved and cared for. ”

Condor concluded that since she decided to be open with those around her about her struggle, that she is now in a place “where I feel I can do what I love and also be the person” what I want to be for myself. “
