Hollywood star Hailee Steinfeld proud of her ‘Filipino’ roots

Hollywood actress Hailee Steinfeld shared how proud she is with her Filipino lineage.

“I have Filipino blood in me and I’m so proud of that,” Hailee told Pep.ph.

Hailee explained, “So, to see my music and my work do so well over here just means so much to me and I know [to] my family [here] as well,”

“It’s something very special to me here, for my music to reach so many people here and it has connected me with so many fans here which I love the most,” she added.

This, amid rumors that the musical film Pitch Perfect will have its fourth series.

“Oh my goodness, yes, absolutely! Those films are so much fun to watch and even more fun to make,”

Hailee said that she was grateful to be part of the blockbuster film.

“I was a huge fan of the first movie. Similar to the character I played, I was the new kid on the block and it was just a lot of fun to kind of jump in with all these incredible women who sort of showed me the way in more ways than one in the film and in real life as well,” Hailee said.

Her maternal grandfather, Ricardo Domasin, was of half Filipino from Panglao, Bohol and half African-American descent.
