I’m stepping into my own as a woman, says Hailee Steinfeld
Movie star Hailee Steinfeld believes "timing is everything" in life.
Hailee Steinfeld is "stepping into [her] own as a woman".
The 28-year-old actress - who married NFL star Josh Allen earlier this year - believes that her starring role in Sinners, the Ryan Coogler-directed horror movie, came to her at the perfect time in her life.
Hailee told Bustle: "This role wouldn’t have existed in my life at any other time.
"It made sense in that this is where I’m at in my life. I’m stepping into my own as a woman, understanding who I am in every sense of the word. I’m such a firm believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason.
"Timing is everything. Where I’m at professionally, mentally, emotionally — if this part had come into my life any sooner, I wouldn’t have been able to take it on."
Hailee launched her Beau Society newsletter during the SAG strike in 2023, and she's been able to reach her fans through the platform.
She said: "It has been this really great connective way to reach people. We get to talk about everything from the layers that exist in Sinners to this avocado hummus."
Hailee has actually started to build her weeks around her newsletter.
She explained: "I wake up on a Monday, which is my brainstorming day. Tuesday, I’m writing it. Wednesday, sending it off to my designer. And then Thursday, we’re doing revisions, and then we send it off."
Hailee married Josh Allen earlier this year, and the NFL star previously admitted that he feels "proud" of his wife.
Josh heaped praise on the actress following her starring role in Sinners and he described the horror film as "fantastic".
Speaking to reporters at the Buffalo Bills Team Activities training, Josh said: "I'm so excited for her and so proud of her.
"It's getting some great reviews and it's a fantastic movie, so go watch it."
Josh is one of the best-known players in the NFL, but he's happy to take a back seat to Hailee and her success.
The sports star shared: "I'm just there trying to support her in whatever way that I can.
"That was her moment and I'm so glad she got to shine."
