Zoë Kravitz is opening up about the challenges of navigating fame and romance, especially amid speculation about her engagement to Harry Styles.
In a new British Vogue profile published June 11, the 37-year-old actress admitted, "I think doing anything in the public eye is uncomfortable." She explained that while she is aware of the attention surrounding her relationship, it doesn't mean she feels at ease with it.
"I'm aware it's happening. I'm aware of when it's happening, like when there are eight people outside my house, that's super uncomfortable. I'm aware of all the ingredients that create the thing that we're talking about. But that doesn't mean you're necessarily OK with it."
Kravitz described moments when the scrutiny feels overwhelming and she wants to hide, but also times when she insists on living normally. "Whether it's in a defiant way, [I'm like], 'I'm going to walk and get my coffee and you're not going to take that away from me.' People sometimes ask me, 'Why are you walking around?' It's because I live in New York. I live three blocks away. I'm not going to get in a car."
Kravitz stressed how important it is for her to keep a sense of normalcy despite the constant attention. She said she would rather continue living openly than shut herself off completely. For her, holding on to everyday routines is a way of staying grounded, even when fame makes those moments feel different.
Kravitz was clear about how she prioritizes her energy when it comes to balancing career and family. She said she has to be realistic about what she can take on, acknowledging that she wouldn't try to raise a child and direct films at the same time. For her, it's about focusing fully on one responsibility rather than spreading herself too thin.
She also reflected on self-acceptance and aging, saying she wants to focus on evolving her inner self rather than obsessing over appearances. And when it comes to public misconceptions, Kravitz said she avoids correcting them: "I'm not going to add to the noise. Trying to correct something that people, who don't know me, might think about me, feels like I'm putting ice cream on top of a steak."
