Steinfeld’s humble personality and powerful on-screen presence continue to bring her success.
However, there’s a lot more to this talented actress than what meets the eye.
This is the untold truth of Hailee Steinfeld.
However, when she was 14 years old, she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind on set.
“They were like, ‘This is not fair!
You cannot do this!'”
“So they decided right there they had to designate me a word.”
“That word was ‘like,'” Steinfeld added.
“So, if I said the word ‘like,’ I had to pay 50 cents.”
“One of the guys … he was shorter than me.
They had to place him on an apple box.
It was very awkward.”
Steinfeld did experience the real thing later.
It seems like her past experience didn’t help her out, though.
“It was a little messy!”
She’s since made music with Zedd and Florida Georgia Line, among others.
Yet there’s another musician out there that Steinfeld would love to collaborate with.
Coincidentally enough, the two previously met on a plane ride to San Francisco.
The actress-turned-pop singer has opened for major talents such as Charlie Puth and Katy Perry (viaConcert Archive).
“The travel can catch up to you,” Steinfeld told theZach Sang Show.
She explained that it is especially unpleasant whenever she finds herself sick.
“Sometimes, I’ve learned to do nothing,” shesaid.
Don’t worry, Hailee!
You’ve definitely accomplished more than most women your age!
It’s actually in her blood.
He treats her like any of his other clients too.
“No excuses,” she toldAccess.
“That’s when I get Pete, not my dad.”
Her father can even be seen making a special appearance in Steinfeld’s music video “Most Girls.”
Did Hailee Steinfeld inspire Niall Horan to write a song about her?
Months later, photos surfaced online of them kissing (viaDaily Mail).
“And when you see them happy, it makes you happier.
When youlovewho you are with that person… there’s nothing that compares.”
It was very easy to sit down at the piano and speak and see what happens."
However, she could still relate to the struggling high schooler she played inThe Edge of Seventeen.
I was like, ‘This is what anxiety really feels like.'"
Feeling like an outcast was what Steinfeld truly had to portray in the film not just a high schooler.
“I’ve worn clip-ons before to events,” she toldPopSugarof her non-pierced ears in 2016.
“Which is always super nerve-racking because I’m paranoid they’re going to fall off.”
Steinfeld admitted that the decision came with a lot of pressure.
In April 2019, she posted to her Instagram a video of her getting her ears pierced.
“I finally did it,” shewrote.
It was definitely a challenge," Steinfeld told theTodayshow regarding her role in theTransformersspin-offBumblebee.
The film’s writer, Christina Hodson, applauded Steinfeld for her portrayal of the character.
“She is so good in our movie,” Hodson toldMetro.
“It is such a hard thing to do.
She is acting against nothing for so much of the movie.”
“I just go plain,” she said.
“Meat, cheese, and bun.”
It’s just the basics, which Steinfeld admitted she sometimes gets embarrassed by.
But there’s one thing she’ll splurge on.
“Avocado, if it’s available,” she added.
Really, anywhere Steinfeld goes, she is up for a burger.
Thankfully, they did!"
She noted, “I’m actually embarrassingly plain.”
She plays the lead role of poet Emily Dickinson in Apple TV+’s appropriately-titled seriesDickinson.
Immediately upon reading the script, she knew she had to be involved.
“I wanted to show up as something more than just an actor,” she said.
“I wanted to be a part of this on a deeper level.”
So in addition to working as an actress, Steinfeld took on an additional roleas executive produceron the series.
Since playing Dickinson, Steinfeld felt even more inspired to write music upon finishing up filming the first season.
It’s not even funny."
And that still is true to this day.
She toldMTV Newsthat one of the highlights of her career was meeting Justin Timberlake at a screening forTrue Grit.
“I had just watched the movie, and my family was there.
I see him across the room, and I’m like, ‘I gotta do it.
I have to do it.
Mom, hold my bag.'”
Upon meeting the young actress, Timberlake shared in her excitement and asked how she felt about the night.
I’m just more excited that you’re here!'"
Steinfeld shared when thinking back on it.
“And that was my first time meeting Justin Timberlake.”
“Definitely on my bucket list,” she toldMTV Newsin 2017.
We’ll see what happens!"
Batgirl, she admitted, was the first superhero that came to her mind.
I don’t know.
I have no idea what you’re talking about."
I want to know how to produce a song.
I want to do all of it.
I just need to pace myself because I get overly ambitious sometimes.
I want to do all of it right now."
Steinfeld has accomplished so much for her age already.
