Myra Malloy’s Favorite Pop Culture Moment

Instyle

Does the phrase “30, flirty, and thriving” make you squeal in anticipation? Same. Myra Molloy joins the cast of Netflix’s ’13 Going On 30’ reboot, a reimagining of the beloved Jennifer Garner–led 2004 romantic comedy. (Garner will produce.) Molloy counts Jessica Alba, Taylor Ortega, Taylor Zakhar Perez, and (fellow Breakthrough List honoree) Owen Thiele as castmates. Good company. This summer, the Thai-American 28-year-old starred in ‘Girls Like Girls,’ a coming-of-age drama based on pop singer Hayley Kiyoko’s book of the same name. Other Molloy credits include Netflix’s ‘Untamed’ and ‘Hadestown’ on Broadway.

00:00I think my phone listens to me.

00:02Hi, I'm Myra Malloy and I'm on InStyle's

00:052026 Breakthrough List.

00:07Singing at the mall with my little sister back in Bangkok.

00:10My parents used to live in New York, so they would take me

00:13and my sister to go see Broadway shows, and I saw Phantom of the Opera.

00:16That just really was like, wow, maybe this is something that I want to do one day.

00:20Underscores, and I can't stop listening to her music,

00:23and I think she's about to blow up.

00:24She's already blowing up, but by the time you see this,

00:27Hey, I love you, you're huge, and you're an incredible producer.

00:31Larry David.

00:32We have like the same essence, you know?

00:35Just watch Curb, just meet me, and then you'll get it.

00:38A House.

00:39I love lots of character, I love warmth.

00:41I love crown molding, what can I say?

00:43When Harry Met Sally.

00:45I think it's like a perfect rom-com.

00:47I will debate anyone any day about whether guys and girls can be friends.

00:52You were either like around for Shark Tales or you weren't.

00:55My sister had a baby, and I took it over after she passed away,

00:59and it lost all sorts on its legs, and that's nothing but a stump.

01:03But I still take care of it with my wife, and it's growing, and it's fairly happy,

01:09and, you know, it's very difficult because I've had to take a second shift at the factory

01:13to put food on the table.

01:14But, you know, I just see all the love in that little guy's face,

01:17and it's all worth it in the end.

01:19So I think in the morning, it's like dogs and fashion.

01:22As it gets later in the night, it's a lot of food, a lot of, like, unhinged reels

01:27that my sister and I send that I cannot be sharing on camera right now.

01:30I think my phone listens to me.

01:32Lady Gaga's meat dress.

01:34The first thought was, whoa.

01:36The second thought was, it must smell horrible in there.

01:39My family.

01:39I just want to make my family proud, in the words of Mulan.

01:43I don't even remember what I did yesterday.

01:45I think I probably called my sister.

01:48Don't wait.

01:49Enrich your life with people, with experiences, with love.

01:52The thing that you're waiting for or praying for, it will come to fruition.

01:55I promise.
