Yael Stone Instagram – Standing with mammoth talents @julia__savage and @delkathrynbarton at the AACTA awards and I felt totally and utterly out of place and in complete sensory overload. Let me explain. Firstly, I had a beautiful baby 8 weeks ago and we have a 4 and a half year old. I’m stupidly tired. Secondly, I haven’t done fancy things for a long time. I spend most of my time and brain space running my not for profit @_hineighbour and most days I forget I am an actor. I put the high heels on literally at the red carpet and thought ‘I have no idea how to walk in these things, I may actually fall over’ I am aware of how much I’ve changed in the years following Orange is the New Black. I’m intimidated by how much older I look, I try the embrace that with gratitude for my life and life’s blessings (which sometimes make you tired and a lil haggard) and I’m proud of how I invest my time these days. Juggling being a parent, an actor and a worker for hopeful change alongside my love who is doing his own epic juggle is no sandwich in the park – but it’s beautiful, love filled chaos. It did mean I forgot my phone and wallet and my dear agent Lisa Mann had to order my Uber (owe you for that Lis) to get me home before my lactating boobs exploded – but I wouldn’t change a dang thing*.
*if I could magically reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions I would push the button and change that. | Posted on 09/Dec/2022 10:26:33
