Marvel star Chloe Bennet has swapped the superhero universe for a heart-warming festive romance in Disney’s new film, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.
The Christmas flick follows the Jonas Brothers as they race against time travelling from London to New York, desperate to reach home before Christmas Day arrives.
Its star-studded line-up includes Modern Family favourite Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Riverdale’s KJ Apa, and 33-year-old Chloe.
She portrays Lucy, Joe’s childhood friend, whom he bumps into during the journey. The pair reconnect and discover they remain remarkably compatible despite years apart living different lives.
We’re confident audiences will be captivated by the pairing, but who is the actress behind Lucy’s character?

The Chicago-born star is the daughter of Chinese banker Bennet Wang and American physician Stephanie Crane, reports the Mirror.
Born Chloe Wang, she altered her surname to enhance her prospects of securing roles in Hollywood.
In 2017, the Agent of S. H.I. E.L. D actress addressed her choice on Instagram.
Replying to a follower, she stated: “Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my blood is half-Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin, or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese.”
The performer moved to Beijing aged just 15 to chase a music career.
She went on to say: “It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable.
“I’m doing everything I can with the platform I have to make sure no one has to change their name again just so they can get work.”
Just a year before this statement, Chloe confessed to Daily Beast: “The first audition I went on after I changed my name, I got booked.”

While it seems Chloe is currently single, she’s been linked to a few famous faces in the past.
Only last summer, she was spotted on what appeared to be a dinner date with Welsh actor Taron Egerton. The pair were seen together again at the premiere of Hulu comedy Interior Chinatown, in November 2024.
Just Jared suggests that Netflix star Taron was there to support Chloe, who starred in the limited series.
By December, the duo seemed to confirm their relationship with a public kiss. However, they never officially spoke about their relationship and both appear to be single as of October 2025.
Before being linked to Taron, Chloe previously dated YouTuber Logan Paul and One Tree Hill alum Austin Nichols.
