Noah Centineo

Noah Gregory Centineo was born on May 9, 1996, in Miami, Florida, and was raised in Boynton Beach. His father, Gregory Centineo, was a businessman and former pastor. Centineo pursued acting from a young age, attending BAK Middle School of the Arts and Boca Raton Community High School. He made his acting debut in the family film “The Gold Retrievers” (2009). His early career included roles in Disney Channel productions such as “Austin & Ally,” “Shake It Up,” and “Jessie.” In 2012, at the age of sixteen, he relocated to Los Angeles to further his acting career. In 2014, he co-starred as Jaden Stark in the Disney Channel film “How to Build a Better Boy” and was cast in the comedy pilot “Growing Up and Down.”

A turning point in Centineo’s career came in 2015 when he took over the role of Jesus Adams Foster in “The Fosters,” for which he earned a Teen Choice Award nomination. His breakthrough to wider recognition occurred in 2018 with leading roles in a series of popular Netflix romantic comedy films. He gained significant audience adoration as Peter Kavinsky in “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” followed by roles in “Sierra Burgess Is a Loser” and “Swiped.” This solidified his status as a teen heartthrob and led to further opportunities. In 2019, he starred in “The Perfect Date” and appeared in the reboot of “Charlie’s Angels.” He reprised his role as Peter Kavinsky in the sequels “To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You” (2020) and “To All the Boys: Always and Forever” (2021).

Centineo has since expanded his filmography to include more diverse roles, notably as Atom Smasher (Al Rothstein) in the DC Extended Universe film “Black Adam” (2022). He also served as a star and executive producer for the Netflix spy-adventure series “The Recruit” (2022–2025). Looking ahead, he is slated for major roles including Brian/Zawi in the A24 film “Warfare” (2025), Ken Masters in the “Street Fighter” reboot film (2026), and a young John Rambo in an upcoming prequel film. Beyond acting, Centineo co-founded Favored Nations in 2019, a nonprofit organization that collaborates with celebrities and influencers to produce merchandise and support various charities, including Black Lives Matter and the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition.
