Motherhood Helped the Actress Tackle Her Latest Role
Since becoming a mother, Hailee Steinfeld admits it’s helped her relate to new roles in a different way. She plays a teen girl navigating her relationship with mother after discovering they’re both witches in “Hexed.”
“I gained so much perspective so quickly on the mother-daughter relationship,” the 29-year-old told PEOPLE. “I just gained a whole new understanding for it.”
Though Harper is only seven months old, Hailee Steinfeld thoroughly enjoyed being part of a mother-daughter story.
“There’s this constant battle of wanting to protect and shield and guard, but also push and encourage to just be your best self and do everything you know as a mother your baby is capable of doing,” Steinfeld continued.
The outlet asked what she’s learned about herself while experiencing the magic and journey of parenthood.
“There’s a long answer, but I’ll give the short one here: I’ve learned just how much of myself I still have to discover,” Hailee Steinfeld shared. “I thought becoming a mom would be this transformative experience about loving someone else, and it is that 1000%. But what I didn’t expect is how much she’s teaching me about myself.”
“She’s made me more patient, more present, and so much more aware of how special the little things are,” the actress said of her daughter.
Fans can see “Hexed” in theaters starting November 25, 2026.
