Hailee Steinfeld is excited for most girls to see her upcoming movie Hexed, but most of all her daughter.
The “Most Girls” singer—who shares 4-month-old daughter Harper with husband Josh Allen—revealed how it feels to work on her first project since becoming a mom, as well as how motherhood allowed her to foster a special connection to the Disney animated film.
“It feels amazing,” Steinfeld exclusively told E! News at the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Aug. 14. “The fact that this is a mother-daughter story is so special and it’s touched me so deeply, this story and this character of Billie.”
Steinfeld voices Billie Doe in the film, 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,” according to the movie’s description.
“I’m just so excited for my baby girl to see this one day,” Steinfeld explained, “and for the world to see this and embrace these characters and this story for everything that it is. It is pure magic.”
