The Kissing Booth is a sweet, sloppy, delirious rush of a teen rom com, and it’s reportedly one of Netflix’s most popular films of all time. Thanks to the film’s fans, actress Joey King has suddenly become one of the most buzzed about starlets in Hollywood. King should be a familiar face to most film and TV watchers, but The Kissing Booth is the hit that’s placed her in the Top 10 of the IMDB Starmeter (an online metric that tracks the relative heat of actors and actresses).

So who is Joey King? Where have you seen her before? What’s her next big role, and is she dating her co-star Jacob Elordi in real life? We’ve got all the scoop.

Who Is Joey King? Meet The Actress Behind Elle Evans

Joey King was born in Los Angeles on July 30, 1999 — making her a Leo (if astrology’s your thing). King comes from a family of performers and was regularly appearing on TV by the time she was seven years old. She made her professional debut in a couple of episodes of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and soon appeared in films like Reign Over Me, Horton Hears A Who!, and Quarantine. Her big break came in 2010 when she nabbed the lead role in Ramona and Beezus, where King played the famous Judy Blume heroine Ramon Quimby. Since then, King has appeared in everything from The Dark Knight Rises to Oz the Great and Powerful. However, it was arguably The Kissing Booth that’s made her a household name.

Where Can I See Joey King Next?

Joey King’s next project is poised to be another huge hit for her. King will star as Wren in the horror film Slender Man. Yes, they’re making a movie based on the ultracreepy Slender Man phenomenon. The film is due in theaters on August 24, 2018.

Is Joey King Really Dating Jacob Elordi?

Look, as far as I know? Yes. Apparently they’ve been dating since last year and they’re still going strong. Just two days ago, King posted photos of the two of them at a concert on Instagram.

Is There Going To Be A Sequel To The Kissing Booth?

That’s the big question! Author Beth Reekles (who wrote the book that inspired the film, and its companion novella, The Beach House) has been sharing some very suspicious tidbits on social media of late. It seems like she’s game to do more, and if New York Magazine‘s behind-the-scenes cover story about Netflix is any indication, the streaming service is keen to capitalize on their surprise hit.
