When your last name is Baldwin – you are by birth acting royalty. The world will automatically think that you are gifted with the acting prowess, the same as the Baldwin‘s that came before you.
I can’t even imagine that pressure. Nor would I want to fall under that pressure.
For Hailey Baldwin Bieber, one would think because of her name that she would go into acting. She’s conquered the modeling world and keeps kicking ass there, she’s hosted a fun TV show, and her YouTube channel is great. But would she want to go into acting?
When she was on Addison Rae‘s podcast That Was Fun?, she answered if she would ever want to get into music. Which hey, she may have some connections to do just that.
But Hailey didn’t seem to into that idea of it, but she did talk about her love of musicals.
“I did a lot of musical theater when I was a kid. I did a lot of musical theater for a long time,” she said to Addison on the podcast. “So I sang and I did like… But I think Broadway style singing and making pop music is two very, very different things. It’s such different styles of singing, but I’m like such a musical theater geek. I love musicals, I love musical movies, I’m so into it.”
But when it came to acting it was a very different response.
“Nooo,” Hailey said when Addison commented on needing to saying she needed to see her act. “I thought about it, and when I was a teenager, I did like a summer program that was like strictly for acting. I just… I don’t know, I never felt super comfortable in it, and I think if maybe I had like done it more as a kid or studied it more, I would feel different. But, I didn’t.”
“Even recently, I actually read for a movie, for like a small part in this movie, and I was like so panicked to do the self tape that I was like, ‘This must not be for me,’ because there’s no way I should be getting all red and profusely sweating just to do a self tape. It just is not my comfort zone, and maybe one day it will be a little bit. It’s not something I’m gonna say absolutely not and taking it off the table, because life changes so much and I don’t know.”
“I think that I’m a charismatic person and I enjoy… I really enjoyed when I hosted this show called Drop The Mic. I thought that was really fun, but that’s not acting, you still get to be yourself,” she said. “I think that sometimes, even with the YouTube channel, I get to be a bigger version of myself, but again, it’s not acting, it’s not scripted. It’s just a different thing, so I just, I don’t know. I don’t think I would say no.”
“I’m the type of person where I like to be really, overly prepared for something, and I don’t necessarily feel prepared to be an actress.” she concluded.
Whatever you do Hailey we know you’ll kill it. We can’t wait to see what is next.
