Although her filmmaking career is still on the rise, she excelled as a model, signing up with Ford models when she was a college freshman at UC Berkeley. The 33-year-old has since modeled for top brands like Tory Burch and Michael Kors.

The actor revealed that getting to discipline his son was a difficult feat because it reminded him of his abusive childhood.

She is also a human rights activist, a cause inspired by her upbringing in Ethiopia, which availed her first-hand knowledge of the dire living conditions in some parts of the world.
