Hailee Steinfeld Wants Her, Josh Allen’s Daughter to Own Being “Different”

As Steinfeld put it, “If I can just encourage her to find that within her and be there every step of the way to support her.”

And the Disney project—which “follows a teenage oddball and her Type A mom, who discovers her weirdness is actually hidden magic, transporting them to a world where magic can run free,” per the movie’s description—arrived at an hex-tra special time in the Pitch Perfect 2 alum’s life.

After all, Steinfeld began recording the film while she pregnant, and shared how it impacted her motherhood journey.

“This came into my life at a time that one I didn’t know I needed,” she explained. “Just this whole newfound perspective on not only being a mother, but being a daughter of a protective mother, and understanding that, and understanding it wholeheartedly now, and not questioning as much as I maybe did growing up.”
