Lana Condor Reveals the Hardest Part of Auditioning

Lana Condor looked so chic while stepping out for the 2018 Vulture Festival!

The 21-year-old actress hit the red carpet in two different looks on Saturday (November 17) at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Calif.

During the event, Lana spoke about her SYFY series Deadly Class and her hit Netflix film To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.

“There are a lot of times where I go into audition rooms and everyone’s blonde and blue-eyed, and then there’s just me. I know there’s that ideal, like I’m going to change the casting director’s mind. But it’s the waiting room that really gets to you. The rest of the the girls watch you walk in, and they’re probably thinking I’m auditioning for a different character…I can’t help but feel really un-empowered, and really like I’m just covering the diversity quota so they can say they’ve looked at all ethnicities,” Lana said on stage.

But things were different for her TATBILB audition!

“When I got to the audition and I saw the casting office. I actually felt like I had a fighting chance and the odds were even for any of us to get it…it was really compelling,” Lana said.

We’re so glad Lana landed the role, because she was definitely the perfect fit!
