John Ambrose was played by Jordan Burtchett in the first film and he appeared at the very end, unexpectedly showing up at the Covey household with Lara Jean's love letter.

Condor told Variety that when it came time to recast for the sequel, she and the producers used a "colorblind casting process" to find a new actor to play the character, who's described in the novel as a young Robert Redford.

"With about a week before we had to find somebody, Jordan came in. He read across from Lana and everyone was like, 'This is it,'" director Michael Fimognari said in the "TATB 2" production notes.

He added: "There was no one tangible thing we were looking for in John Ambrose. But with Jordan, it was love at first sight."

Han also told Insider that she was impressed by Fisher's talent and ability to be a great singer, dancer, and actor.

"He does it all," she told us. "He's just a superstar. And he's also remarkably self-possessed and confident and I just adore him."

Ross Butler, who plays Trevor, said that the cast "ad-libbed a lot on set."

"We would do one or two takes with the lines, then we would just have fun with it," the actor said during an interview with Variety, adding that he was told that a blooper reel is in the works.

Fisher personally wrote John Ambrose's letter to Lara Jean.
