Earlier this month, Duff said she believed that having children helped change her career for the better.
In an interview with Grazia, she explained that before becoming a mother she felt “big frustrations” over not being cast in roles because of her association with Lizzie McGuire.
“I would get to producer call-back and they’d be like, ‘She’s so great and she gave us the best reading and blah blah blah, but she’s Hilary Duff…’,” she explained.
“I’m at such a different place in my life now, being a mother and a wife – it doesn’t weigh on me anymore.
“I don’t feel like people only see me that way, but [even] when they do, I feel appreciative of it because she was very impactful on so many people’s lives.”
