• Faith: Humanist
• Career: Actor
• Birthday:  May 09, 1996

The child actor is known mainly for his work with the Disney Channel, yet he made his acting debut when he was 13 in a 2009 film called "The Gold Retrievers" with Courtney Biggs and Curtis Armstrong, most familiar for playing "Booger" in "Revenge of the Nerds." Coming to fame was almost natural for Noah Gregory Centineo, born in Miami on May 9, 1996.

His father is Gregory Centineo, a producer with a lengthy career in Hollywood. He is known for his animated films, "Art Story and Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return." Noah has an uncanny talent for acting, and his father recognized it and connected him to a working colleague with a network that extends to Disney Channel.

The network offered him roles in the widely syndicated "Austin & Ally" and "Shake It Up." He was immediately given a role as Jaden Stark in the channel's original movie "How to Build a Better Boy" in 2014. Noah was also part of a comedy pilot, "Growing Up and Down," but Disney did not pick up the series for broadcasting.

The following year, Freeform (formerly known as ABC Family) was the catalyst for Centineo's career growing exponentially, casting him as Jesus Adams "Foster in The Fosters," where he first appeared in season three. For his performance in 2017, he was nominated for the Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer TV Star. Later that year, he starred as Hawk Carter in go90's teen drama series "Tagged."

Another catalyst into the Hollywood spotlight came through a music video when Noah starred as Camila Cabello's love interest in "Havana."

From there, his career began to mature as Netflix took an interest in the actor to lead in two YA comedy series, "To All the Boys" (and its sequel, "To All The Boys: Always and Forever"), "Sierra Burgess is a Loser," and "Swiped." Although he was set to become the big-screen adaptation of "He-Man" in a rebooted Masters of the Universe, that didn't work. However, his role in the DC blockbuster "Black Adam" also did, as he received strong reviews as Atom Smasher.

The young actor continues to stay busy with projects as Netflix asked him to star and executive produce a series (his first), "The Recruit," adapted from the 2003 film of the same name starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell. Another large project is an A24 movie written and directed by the acclaimed Alex Garland called "Warfare," set for 2026.

Noah Centineo's Religious Beliefs

While Noah Centineo doesn't ascribe to any particular faith, testifying is something that comes naturally to him.

In a Feb. 3, 2024, Barstool Sports' "Chicks in the Office" podcast, he shared, "I was able to pay my bills for the first time. I was, like, completely financially stable and secure. I was working regularly. And I was doing a lot of drugs. I wasn't doing anything crazy, but I was just doing drugs a lot and drinking all the time—every day. And I was young. I was 20 years old. And I had been doing that for a couple of years."

In another interview, he equates getting sober to having a superpower.

"It felt like it was the same world, but I was looking at it, and it felt like something had broken a little bit, and it scared me," he said. "I realized that I needed to dry out, sober up, take a look at myself, and take inventory to see what that change was. And to get back to myself.

In November 2017, during his life crisis, Noah tweeted, "God? Naw, never the guy, but if I had to guess, I'd say she's a soft pillow, a comfortable bed and a warm meal. Maybe some good company in a bad time. Maybe they're the reason you were running late and didn't have that car crash. IDK, maybe you're me."

A 2018 Bustle article asked him about that moment, and he said, "I just love that particular tweet. The patriarchy has created this concept of God. I don't denounce Christianity — I don't denounce any religion. ... I think there's something to be learned from all religious texts, whether they're mainstream or like Emerald Tablets of Thoth or something."

Centineo is an active philanthropist who co-founded Favored Nations with his friend and fellow actor Josh Heller. The organization works with many celebrities to raise money through auctions for various causes.
