Hailee Steinfeld’s rise in Hollywood has never been a linear one. From the moment she delivered a career-making performance opposite Jeff Bridges in True Grit at just fourteen, she was thrust into a spotlight that many struggle to handle. But for Hailee, navigating fame wasn’t just about mastering the craft of acting—it was about forging an identity beyond the roles. Along the way, she’s learned to balance the highs of career success with the complexities of personal life, most notably through her relationship with Josh. While her personal life dream-come-true has been the perfect relationship with Josh, Hailee is finally ready to share her professional dream too!
In the BEAU SOCIETY issue #36 newsletter, someone named Lucy asked Hailee, “Would love to see you hosting SNL someday. Is that something you consider?” And Hailee’s response was, “Duh! Bucket list.” She nailed it. While she’s currently focusing on her acting career, hosting SNL would be pretty awesome if it happens. Right now, she’s deep into her ‘Sinners’ mode, which not only marked a comeback for her but also taught her some life lessons.
Hailee Steinfeld delved into her family history to prepare for her role in the new vampire thriller Sinners, set in the 1930s South. While promoting the movie, directed by Ryan Coogler, the Oscar nominee shared how she made personal discoveries during her preparation to play Mary, a multi-racial woman. “It had such an impact on me personally,” she told PEOPLE. “Therefore, I feel like the least it can do is make an impact on those that watch it. I think it affected all of us so personally and so deeply, and I do believe that you feel that and see that when you watch this movie.”
Halsey recently confessed her involvement with the project. The 2025 film starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld became a box office hit. During an April 2 appearance on Good Morning America, Steinfeld said this project is “unlike any role that I have ever played,” explaining, “This character challenged me in ways I’ve never been challenged…”
Well, Hailee’s got more than just one hit up her sleeve for the industry. She kicked off her career with small TV gigs but really made a splash when she snagged the role of Mattie Ross in True Grit. She wowed everyone with her dedication and prep work, grabbing the spotlight big time. After that, she jumped into all sorts of films, like Romeo and Juliet and Ender’s Game, and rocked it in the Pitch Perfect series. On top of her acting skills, she dove into music, dropping singles and an EP that landed her a record deal.
Her standout work includes voice acting in cool animated flicks like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But Sinners is especially special to her, packed with life lessons she loves sharing with her fans. Hailee also shared how researching for the role helped her understand her own family history better—a real-life lesson, but maybe not as big as navigating a breakup. Speaking of which, Hailee even doled out some breakup advice recently. Casual wisdom for us all!
