'The Perfect Date's Laura Marano Dishes About What She Loves Most About Playing Celia

Laura Marano has played a lot of amazing characters in the past, but Celia from The Perfect Date might be one of her favorites.

Speaking with PopSugar in a new interview, the 23-year-old actress revealed she really loves Celia.

“I really love Celia because she breaks the stereotype of what you expect,” Laura shared. “She was just so fun to play.”

She continues, “When you’re filming out of order, it can be a little tough because you’re obviously going through some sort of character arc and you have to figure out where your character is in their journey during whatever scene you’re filming. All that boring actor stuff…but what I loved is, Celia doesn’t have your typical character arc.”

“She doesn’t even really go into that road of ‘I’m really going to try to be this other person to please others.’ She dipped her toes into that trope lightly, but not fully. So I loved the uniqueness of the character.”

Co-star Noah Centineo complimented Laura on her portrayal of Celia, too.

“Yeah, you killed it. I’m serious, man. You really brought a wittiness and intelligence to this character,” he shared. “I think it’s so necessary for people to see that.”

The Perfect Date is streaming now on Netflix.
