Either way, you’re going to be obsessed with the up-and-coming Israeli starlet.
Despite being relatively new on the scene, everyone wants to know about her.
What does she like?
What’s her story?
What are her future plans?
Because of this, she needed to undergo intense treatments for a few years.
Throughout her life, she has continued to maintain that same beautiful mindset in everything she does.
Luckily, the actress recovered two years later following those ongoing cancer treatments.
But not for Shira Haas.
While Haas was familiar with the language, she had to learn the Satmar Jews' variation.
The variation of the language is from the Hasidic dynasty, so she had to hit the books.
For her role inUnorthodox, Haas had only two months to learn the language.
In an interview withE!
Online, she credited her “amazing team” and teachers who helped her prepare.
She also gave advice to budding actors, saying you have to be dedicated.
Haas' character of Esty leaves the United States and flees to Germany.
For the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, this storyline may have evinced some negative emotions.
However, as the actress explained toElle, “I’d never been to Germany before this project.
She was just so happy for me.
She told me good luck …
I always kept this moment with me when I was there.”
She posts original photo collages that she creates through Photoshop on social media on a frequent basis.
With her art, the more you look, the more you discover.
She notes other passions include photography, poetry, and filmmaking.
Like heridol Natalie Portman, she aspires to make films herself.
Whether it be her own story or another she’s enthralled with, she wants to direct.
Is anyone else pumped to see what she’ll create in the future?
With this being only her second film role and Hollywood debut, Haas was eager to work with Portman.
Even if it was only one day on set, Haas learned a lot for her future roles.
Haas says Portman is one of the petite actors who helped her embrace her small frame.
I’m sure those who idolize Shira Haas herself would feel the same after meeting her.
