NOAH CENTINEO

There's a moment in the new Netflix series " The Recruit," starring Noah Centineo, when his character, Owen, finds himself in the middle of a shootout. It's moments like these that make “The Recruit” an atypical CIA drama. “That’s a differentiation between our show, ‘The Recruit’ and many other spy genre shows and films,” said Centineo. Centineo excels at loveable, and while Owen is also charming, he's also more nuanced. I wanted to kind of soak in as much as I possibly could.”The eight-episode first season of “The Recruit” is now streaming on Netflix.

Noah Centineo is moving away from the “To All the Boys” YA rom-com franchise that made him famous and will star in “The Recruit” for Netflix.

Noah Centineo saw massive success after starring in "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" and the two additional movies in the franchise. As a young actor, he struggled to book roles.

“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” actor Noah Centineo, now starring in Netflix’s CIA thriller “The Recruit,” is gathering intel on how to be a Hollywood star.

Playing a superhero requires actual physical strength to pull off the moves needed to sell a stunt. Dogpound's Kirk Myers worked with Noah Centineo as he prepared to play Atom Smasher alongside Dwayne The Rock Johnson in DC's "Black Adam" (2022). Kirk focused on improving Noah's core and upper body strength, which improved his endurance and gave him an ideal muscular look. Balance is also a key skill when these roles require a lot of wire work for flying scenes, like when Elizabeth Olsen played Scarlet Witch in "WandaVision" (2021) and the "Avengers" films. Core strength combined with agility can give a performer superhuman kicks and punches in fight scenes, which is what trainer Eric Johnson did when working with Scarlett Johansson when she played Black Widow in "Captain America: Civil War." Thanks to Kirk's workouts, Noah gained 35 pounds of muscle and could even flip a 210-pound tire.

In Hollywood’s superhero era, there has always been one particularly conspicuous absence.

Dwayne Johnson came out in full costume to promote his new superhero film “Black Adam” at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday.

He established himself as a heartthrob in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. That smile sweeps us right off our feet. Noah Centineo
