Lana Condor says that she kept breaking character while filming 'Moonshot' with Cole Sprouse because he'd make her laugh 'constantly'
  • Lana Condor spoke to Insider about working with Cole Sprouse for the new film "Moonshot."
  • Condor said that Sprouse is "incredibly funny" and had her laughing "constantly" on set.

Lana Condor said that it was hard to stay in character while filming her new sci-fi rom-com "Moonshot" because costar Cole Sprouse kept making her laugh.

"It was my first movie out of 'To All the Boys' and it was really fun to kind of explore new territory," Condor told Insider while promoting her partnership with Neutrogena. "Cole and I had the best time on set. He is a great friend and a really wonderful actor."

Condor is known for roles in "X-Men: Apocalypse" and Netflix's "To All the Boys" trilogy, based on author Jenny Han's novels.

In "Moonshot," which hits HBO Max on March 31, Condor plays a "type-A" character named Sophie, and Cole stars as an easy-going guy named Walt.

The movie is set in the future, as Sophie and Walt unexpectedly form a romantic connection while in space. Condor previously described "Moonshot" to Insider as a "rom-com space adventure."

Condor said that she and the "Riverdale" star had "great camaraderie on set and it almost felt like summer camp because you got to just hang out with your friends."

"He's just so incredibly funny," she said. "He would make me laugh constantly. I wish I could be as good as all these other actors who never, ever break, but some things are just too funny."

Condor said that while filming one scene in which Sophie catches Walt breaking the rules, she couldn't maintain her composure.

"Every single time in that scene, he would break me because he'd be so hilarious and I'd be laughing," she recalled. "And he would be like, 'Lana, you need to stop this. We need to go home.'"

"Honestly, I don't know if I've laughed that much on a show before, so it was really fun," she added.

Condor said that she's "really proud" of "Moonshot" and is "excited that we get to see space through the eyes of these two young adults."

Condor will also star alongside John Cena in the upcoming "Looney Tunes" movie "Coyote vs. Acme," which will be a combination of live-action and animation elements.

The actress said that she "grew up 'watching Looney Tunes,'" so she was thrilled when she read the script. The movie will also give Condor the opportunity to immerse herself in a different kind of filmmaking.

"I've done a little bit of green-screen sci-fi work, but I've never done it to this level where half of our people will be 2D and then everyone else will be human," she said. "That really fascinated me. I wanted to really learn about what that's like."

"It's such an awesome kind of nostalgic film with really new-age technologies that I think will be really, really cool," she added. "And I think we'll have something in it for everyone."

Just as Condor's acting career has been evolving and expanding, so has her wellness routine.

The actress, who's a global brand ambassador for Neutrogena, said that her own relationship with beauty and skincare has "evolved a lot" over the past few years.

When it comes to her skincare routine, Condor said that she's always been drawn to convenient staples, like Neutrogena's Hydro Boost collection and pink grapefruit cleanser, plus her gua sha facial tool.

"I kinda like to stick with what I know works for me," she said. "And the Hydro Boost line definitely does that."

When she's not getting glammed up for red carpets or wearing makeup for different roles, Condor has been using cosmetics sparingly.

"I had a phase where I wore a ton of makeup and a ton of foundation, and I think it probably looked pretty cakey," she said. "I'm really in this weird space right now where I'm all about very minimal makeup."

Condor added that her priority is to "see the health of my skin and I don't wanna cover it up."
