Long before Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean Covey made college plans, they were kids who grew up together. We don’t get much glimpse into her pre-high school life in the Netflix movies, but in To all boys: always and forever Fans are blessed with a little look back at their middle school days. That sweet moment shows where the story of Peter and LJ began, but who actually played the younger versions of the characters we know and love? It turns out that both actors came from another popular Netflix project: The babysitting club.
Momona Tamada and Rian McCririck stepped in the shoes of Lara Jean and Peter for the final episode of To All the Boys, which premiered on February 12th. “So lucky I got a little role on this project and met the author of this incredible book, movie,” McCririck wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of him and Tamada with writer Jenny Han. When Tamada and McCririck aren’t playing young Covey and Kavinsky, they bring Claudia Kishi and Logan Bruno to life. There is something special about those onscreen projects that start out as books, don’t they? I can’t wait to see more of these two The babysitting clubSeason two is (hopefully) coming to Netflix soon.
