LOS ANGELES – Voiced by actress Lana Condor, the heroine of the animated action-comedy film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is not too different from your average shy 16-year-old. She is struggling to fit in at high school, where the boy she likes sees her only as his tutor....
“Often in animation, you see only the good parts of relationships, and in our film, it’s very realistic,” says the 26-year-old Vietnamese-American star.
But she loved the empowering themes and thought her character was “fun, feisty and had a sense of humour”. “When I found out that she was voicing Grandmamah, I was just floored. I was fangirling big time,” says the actress, who attended the premiere with her fiance, American actor-singer Anthony De La Torre, 29.
