What’s one of the worst parts of The Carrie Diaries being cancelled? We don’t get to see AnnaSophia Robb every week.We miss her and frankly, we need to see her more. We’re girl crushing on her and we have it bad.
If you didn’t catch AnnaSophia on the Sex and the City prequel series, you may have seen her in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, winning a golden ticket, chomping on bubble gum and turning that bright shade of blue.
She also starred in Soul Surfer, the 2011 biopic about Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who lost her arm to a tiger shark.Before she made it big, AnnaSophia was into dance and gymnastics and competed until she decided to focus more on acting. In addition to those three talents, she released a song for the Bridge to Terabithia soundtrack that reached the 90th spot on the Billboard Hot 100. That’s four talents total! What can’t this girl do?
Even with all of those talents, AnnaSophia attends college at NYU. “My education has always been really important to me,” she stated in an interview with CBS. So, as a working actress, she still has the drive to attend classes and do homework, which is impressive.
AnnaSophia may be young, but we love her mature attitude toward staying true to yourself and not worrying so much about what people think. She told Seventeen, “I think girls are especially worried about being judged, and when you’re in high school, everything seems like a bigger deal than it is. As soon as you’re out, it feels like forever ago—zip-a-dee-doo-dah! So do what you want, and if people are going to judge you for it, who cares? You might not fit in, but that’s okay. Everyone thought I was weird in high school!” Now that’s a statement we can get behind!
AnnaSophia has a passion for listening to her body and educating herself on nutrition and how what she eats makes her feel. It’s all about what you put in your body and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Her focus is not on weight loss but being healthy. That’s what’s most important.
Our favorite quote from AnnaSophia comes from the Huffington Post:
“I’d love to see the millennial generation cultivate more patience and reliability—and I’m working on this as well. It becomes overwhelming with all the options and technology we have but following through is important and so is being known as a man or woman of your word. Demonstrating true friendship, integrity and dedication to your commitments are all positive character traits that will benefit society.”
