Hailee Steinfeld couldn’t be prouder of her dad.
The actress chatted to ET Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about her father, Peter, being her personal trainer.
When questioned about the time they spend together and the knowledge he’s passed down to her, Steinfeld responded: “I mean, how much time do you have? I could talk about this all day. I don’t even know where to begin. I value the time that my dad and I spend… doing what he does and does best.
“You’re right to say it goes beyond sets and reps. It’s not about getting in there and working out so hard that you’re getting sick afterwards, and or, you know, going in the gym and seeing how much you can sweat or how much you can lift. It’s not about that.
“I was at a point in my life where I needed just something to keep me on track, I needed something to hold me accountable. I needed something for stability. And so it became a mental thing,” she added.
