Ryan Newman looks lovely in this gorgeous new feature for NKD magazine’s November 2015 issue.

The 17-year-old actress opened up to the glossy about her career and her boyfriend Jack Griffo. Check it:

On starting out: “I started begging my parents to let me act when I was two and a half. After a year of persistence, my parents let me start with modeling…My parents were very skeptical of the industry and my being a part of it, but after a great deal of persuading from my agents and me, my parents let me start auditioning for commercials.”

On The Thundermans role: “The producers had been trying to find the right role for me on The Thundermans for a while and when this role presented itself they called and offered it to me. I was actually supposed to go to Comic Con for Sharknado the week it filmed but I chose The Thundermans arc instead.”

On Jack: “Jack and I actually met three years ago when he guest starred on See Dad Run. We met on a Monday and were officially dating by Friday. I was 14 and he was 15, so we have really grown up together. He’s my best friend and he would do anything for me, just as I would do for him.”
