In August 2017, Condor created a scholarship with the Asia Foundation in which she will pay to put girls from Can Tho, Vietnam through four years of schooling. The scholarship provides the student with books, food, uniforms, and a bicycle to get to and from school.

Found out she had been cast as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) while in study hall for a history test.

Her father, a journalist, wrote about the process of adopting Lana and her brother in the Chicago Tribune (December 21, 1997).

Was named Tran Dong Lan at birth, but this was legally changed to Lana Therese Condor after her adoption.

Was born in Can Tho, Vietnam on May 11, 1997, and was adopted by American parents, Mary Carol (Haubold) and Robert Condor, on October 6, 1997.

Performing in ballet really, really helped me to be comfortable in my own skin... If I hadn't done ballet, I'd be so awkward in front of a camera!

The short-term dream is to be in the live-action Mulan. Of course I would want to be Mulan, but I'd play Peasant No. 2 if I had to. I think if you cut my hair, I could also look enough like a dude to play the dragon. I am willing to break that barrier for a dream to come true.

I really feel the lack of diversity and how people don't think Asian-Americans will gain revenue. It's very frustrating because I don't think that the roles aren't out there, they're just not written.

My parents are white -- I mean, white as day. When people see me out to dinner with my dad, I think they assume he is my agent. But I have never really felt like I was misplaced or that I was in the wrong family. I love my family and am so grateful to them because they are the reason I have any of this. If I hadn't been adopted, I would likely still be in Vietnam, working in a rice field.

If I could have one superpower I think it would be teleporting. I love the idea of skipping the 405 LA traffic.
