Seriously, how does Yara Shahidi have time to sleep?
The 21-year-old star of Grown-ish has actually been modeling because she was a young child and made her movie launching at age 9. One of TIME publication’s 2017 list of the “30 Most Influential Teens,” Shahidi presently handles playing university student Zoey Johnson on the Black-ish spin-off with going to school IRL and her activist work.
And on top of all that, she still remains simple!
“It never ceases to amaze me how much they do,” Shahidi gushed on E! News’ Daily Pop on July 13 about her co-stars. “We’re all producing and creating projects and it’s so inspiring to be a part of a show that is going to be a catalyst for so much more.”
Yet fellow Grown-ish star Francia Raisa didn’t let Shahidi avoid of the spotlight for too long. “I’ll be honest, Yara inspired me,” the starlet included. “I’m 10 years older than her and I’m like, Yara’s going to school and shooting a program, stopped talking.”
