Hailee Steinfeld Talks Marvel’s ‘Hawkeye,’ “Wrong Direction,” Privé Revaux, and How She’s Juggling It All

Hailee Steinfeld is really busy. The Oscar nominee/Billboard Music Award winner/Peabody winner/executive producer has a plate packed with projects, but in the face of this last unpredictable year—a chance to “slow down and really focus on what matters,” in her own words—things changed…sorta. Hailee’s version of “slowing down” is full of self care, including but not limited to:

  • cooking with her fam;
  • watching TV, especially her current favorite Marvel character Wanda (sorry Hawkeye);
  • driving around aimlessly;
  • and trying to fit in a solid 7-8 hours of sleep.
  • This list might sound a lot like your own—relatable, even!—if it weren’t for the additional list Hailee took on, including but not limited to:

  • dropping an entire catalog of new music with her EP Half Written Story;
  • debuting season two of Dickinson, which she leads;
  • creating and releasing a line of bikinis with Frankie’s;
  • and working with Privé Revaux, the glasses brand she co-founded.
  • And oh, right, don’t forget about that Marvel series she’s filming literally right now for Disney+. Marvel projects in particular are infamous for their intensity—everyone from Robert Downey Jr. to Cate Blanchett has spoken up about the physical demand—so it’s no surprise Hawkeye has taken Hailee’s schedule from 0 to 100…which isn’t such a bad thing!

The sweet secret straight from the Marvel set? The trainer responsible for getting Hailee ready to shoot arrows as superhero Kate Bishop is none other than her own dad, Pete Steinfeld, whose fitness expertise is coming in clutch.

    “I knew I had a start date on this, and I had to show up, and I was going to be put through it on the physical side of things. And I was so looking forward to it, but I realized that…working out doesn’t always have to be about getting in the gym and sweating so much you can’t even see. It’s not about getting in there and losing as much weight as you possibly can. It’s just about getting your blood flowing and clearing your mind. And, you know, you happen to reap these physical benefits and these mental benefits, which I love,” Hailee told Cosmo. “My dad and I have been working for over a year on this and we continue to do, so it’s now become such a great part of my life that I will never let go of. I have this last crazy year and this role to thank for getting me into that headspace.” Continue reading “Hailee Steinfeld Talks Marvel’s ‘Hawkeye,’ “Wrong Direction,” Privé Revaux, and How She’s Juggling It All”
