Lana Condor: Movies, Age, Ballet, and Relationship Facts

Cooper Anderson White • 2026-10-29 • Reviewed by Oliver Bennett

Few rom-com introductions landed with the same pop as Lara Jean Covey’s letter-opening monologue, and the actress behind it took an unusual road to that moment: born in Vietnam and raised in the United States with ballet training before her film debut, according to Fandango’s biography page. This guide sorts her movies, age, identity, and family questions with named sources throughout.

Born: May 11, 1997 · Film debut: X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) · Breakthrough: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) · Dance background: Dancer-turned-actor · Children: None confirmed

What movies and TV shows has Lana Condor been in?

Condor’s credits span comic-book blockbusters, YA rom-coms, a streaming series, and an animated feature. The list below follows the film database trail, with one TV credit’s date still varying by source.

X-Men: Apocalypse and her film debut

  • Feature debut: Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) (Fandango — entertainment guide)
  • Early credits: Patriots Day (2016) and the TV film High School Lover (2017) are also listed on the same filmography (Fandango — entertainment guide)

The debut put Condor inside a franchise, but it wasn’t the role that made her a household name. Those early credits read more like runway than headline work.

The To All the Boys trilogy

  • Breakout: Lara Jean Covey in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018), followed by P.S. I Still Love You (2020) and Always and Forever (2021) (Apple TV — streaming catalog)

This is the project that changed her career scale. The Netflix trilogy turned a letter-based rom-com into a fan-repeat favorite and made Condor the anchor across all three films.

Later films and voice roles

  • Sci-fi rom-com: Moonshot (2022) (Fandango — entertainment guide)
  • Voice lead: Ruby Gillman in Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) (Asturian Wikipedia — community encyclopedia)

After the trilogy, Condor swung away from YA romance toward genre and animation. The titles didn’t land the same pop-culture footprint, but they show a deliberate range.

TV and streaming credits

The Deadly Class date is the one spot where databases drift, so it’s worth checking the original network schedule before treating a year as settled.

The pattern: Condor’s filmography isn’t a straight line from Marvel to rom-coms; it’s a ladder, and the rom-com is the top rung.

Bottom line: Condor’s filmography is short enough to binge in a weekend. New viewers: start with To All the Boys. Completionists: pair it with X-Men: Apocalypse to see the range.

The implication: a bingeable filmography with a clear on-ramp and a sharper range than the search results suggest.

Does Lana Condor know ballet?

Yes, the public record supports a real dance background. The exact length and level of that training are less clean.

Dancer-turned-actor background

  • First dance class on Whidbey Island, Washington (IMDb — biography database)
  • Later Seattle and New York training at Rock School, Spectrum Dance Theater, Joffrey, Gelsey Kirkland, and Alvin Ailey (IMDb — biography database)
  • Moved to New York around age 11 to continue classical ballet (IMDb — biography database)

That is a serious dance résumé by any standard. The catch is that the records are narrative, not archival: they tell us where she trained, but not how many years she stayed in each program.

Ballet references in her official bio

The upshot

Apple TV’s biography describes Condor as a dancer-turned-actor (Apple TV — streaming catalog), which is the shortest reliable confirmation that the ballet background is real.

How her dance training relates to acting

  • The on-screen result: ease with physical blocking, camera confidence, and the posture of someone who spent years inside a practice room (Apple TV — streaming catalog).

That translation from dance to acting is partly interpretive, but it’s the reason “dancer-turned-actor” keeps appearing in her professional summaries.

The trade-off: the training is real, the archive is thin. Treat “dancer-turned-actor” as the verified headline and any specific year or level as unverified unless a primary source appears.

Is Lana Condor fully Vietnamese?

This question is about identity, not just birthplace. The verified facts are clear on where she was born and how she was raised.

Birth name and Vietnamese origins

  • Born in Can Tho, Vietnam, on May 11, 1997 (IMDb — biography database)
  • Birth name reported as Trần Đồng Lan, also written Tran Dong Lan (Apple TV — streaming catalog)

Her Vietnamese origin is the first fact in almost every professional bio. The name spelled with diacritics appears in the Apple TV record; English-language coverage tends to drop the accents.

Adoption and American upbringing

  • Adopted as an infant by American parents Mary Carol Haubold and Robert Condor (IMDb — biography database)
  • Family settled on Whidbey Island, Washington, when she was about seven (IMDb — biography database)

That upbringing gave Condor her surname, her American accent, and a family story that runs parallel to her Vietnamese birthplace. Both parts are on the record; neither cancels the other.

Why “fully Vietnamese” is the wrong frame

  • Nationality, ethnicity, and culture are different variables; sources position her as a Vietnamese-born American actress (Apple TV — streaming catalog)

“Fully Vietnamese” asks for a single yes-or-no where the honest answer has layers. Condor was born in Vietnam, raised in the U.S. by an adoptive American family, and her professional biography frames her as Vietnamese-American.

What this means: identity questions deserve the same sourcing standard as film trivia — answered with records, not assumptions. For a separate fact-file on ethnicity, husband, movies, and net worth, see Australian Focus’s related guide.

Has Lana Condor had kids?

No child appears in her verified public record. The confusion here comes from search, not from her biography.

Marriage and partner

  • Entertainment reports identify actor Anthony De La Torre as her partner (Asturian Wikipedia — community encyclopedia)
  • A primary marriage date was not part of the sources reviewed here (IMDb — biography database)

The relationship is widely reported, but the exact “when” is exactly the kind of detail that needs a license or a court record, not a recycled bio line.

Children

  • No reliable source in the cited records confirms that Condor has children (IMDb — biography database)

The absence of a public record isn’t the same as a negative fact, but it does shift the burden: until she or a primary source says otherwise, “no confirmed children” is the accurate answer.

Clarifying the Lana Rhoades search mix-up

  • Most “Lana baby” queries in search results point to a different performer named Lana Rhoades, not Condor (Fandango — entertainment guide)

The recurring mix-up is a search disambiguation problem, not a biography fact. When someone asks about “Lana’s baby,” the first task is to check which Lana they mean.

The catch

Typing “Lana baby” into search leads to a different performer’s story. Until Condor or a primary record says otherwise, the verified answer is: no confirmed children.

The pattern: the “kids” question says more about search-as-social-graph than about Condor’s life.

How old is Lana Condor?

The age math here is simple and anchored to a public birth date.

Birth date and age calculation

Born: May 11, 1997 · Age as of March 8, 2025: 27 · Turns 28: May 11, 2025

That calculation comes from IMDb’s biography page, which lists her birthday and keeps the year-to-year math consistent (IMDb — biography database).

Height and body measurements

  • No verified height or body measurement appears in the databases cited here (Fandango — entertainment guide)

Cup-size queries are common in search, but no reliable public record supports a specific number. We’re not repeating unverified measurements.

Net worth

Tabloid-style net-worth numbers fluctuate without a primary paper trail, so they don’t meet the standard used elsewhere in this guide.

The takeaway: age is the one number with a clean source; measurements and wealth belong in the “unverified” column.

Timeline: from Can Tho to Hollywood

Six dates, one pattern: a decade of training before a four-year rom-com takeover.

Year Event Reference
1997 Born Trần Đồng Lan in Can Tho, Vietnam IMDb — biography database
2016 Film debut as Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse Fandango — entertainment guide
2018 Breakout as Lara Jean Covey in To All the Boys Apple TV — streaming catalog
2020–2021 Completes the trilogy in P.S. I Still Love You and Always and Forever Apple TV — streaming catalog
2022–2023 Stars in Moonshot and voices Ruby Gillman Fandango — entertainment guide
2024 Reportedly marries Anthony De La Torre Australian Focus — related biography

The through-line is steady: Condor trained through childhood, broke out in her early twenties, and has spent the years since choosing projects that don’t repeat the same note.

What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear

Confirmed facts

  • Born May 11, 1997, in Can Tho, Vietnam (IMDb — biography database)
  • Film debut as Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse (Fandango — entertainment guide)
  • Breakout as Lara Jean Covey in the To All the Boys trilogy (Apple TV — streaming catalog)
  • No confirmed children (IMDb — biography database)

What’s unclear

  • Exact ballet training years and level
  • Net worth and body measurements
  • A primary marriage date for Anthony De La Torre
  • Deadly Class’s exact air-date year varies by database

The split is deliberate: the public record supports biography and career facts, while personal details stay in the rumor column until a primary source appears.

What the sources say about Lana Condor

Born in Can Tho, Vietnam, adopted as an infant, and raised in the United States before her film debut.

IMDb — biography database

A dancer-turned-actor whose breakout role was Lara Jean Covey in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Apple TV — streaming catalog

The filmography runs from X-Men: Apocalypse to Moonshot, with Deadly Class and Ruby Gillman filling out the middle.

Fandango — entertainment guide

The pattern: each source is strongest on a different slice of Condor’s life — biography, career, or searchable trivia.

The takeaway

For anyone looking up Lana Condor, the biggest risk isn’t bad acting — it’s bad search hygiene. The movies and TV shows check out, the ballet background is real, and the age math is clean. The relationship and body-measurement corners of the internet run on rumor, so treat them like rumor until a primary source shows up. For fans starting their first watch, the choice is clear: begin with To All the Boys, then go back to X-Men: Apocalypse to see how far she’s traveled.
