Supermodel Bella Hadid has revealed that stepping into acting helped her overcome what she describes as an “obsession with perfectionism,” giving her a new perspective on beauty and self-acceptance.
The model recently spoke about her experience while filming the series The Beauty, where she takes on a bold role that pushed her far outside her comfort zone. Hadid explained that working on the project forced her to release control and rethink the strict standards she had developed during years in the fashion industry.
According to the model, the environment on set encouraged her to relax and embrace imperfection rather than constantly striving to appear flawless. She admitted that her usual comfort zone involves maintaining control over how she looks and presents herself, but acting required her to step away from that mindset and allow herself to be more vulnerable.
Hadid said the experience ultimately changed the way she views beauty and perfection. By the end of the filming process, she realised that looking perfect was no longer the most important thing. Instead, authenticity and emotional expression became the focus of her performance.
The role also challenged her understanding of self-confidence and personal growth. Hadid described the project as a meaningful learning experience that helped her develop a healthier relationship with herself and her career.
Beyond acting, the model also spoke about entering what she calls a period of personal growth. She explained that she is focusing more on trusting her instincts and staying true to herself while exploring new opportunities in both her professional and personal life.
Hadid, who rose to global fame as one of the most recognisable faces in fashion, has increasingly explored creative projects outside modelling in recent years. Her experience on The Beauty has also sparked interest in taking on more acting roles in the future.
The 29-year-old star even hinted that she would love to continue working in film and television, suggesting she might be open to roles ranging from romantic comedies to projects connected to her passion for horses.
Her latest comments highlight a turning point in her career, as she embraces a more relaxed and authentic approach to both her work and personal life.
