The Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women launched the #HeForShe movement last year in her efforts to champion gender equality, which has received widespread support and acclaim. And she's done all of this in addition to making blockbuster films and completing her undergraduate degree at Brown University. NBD — it's casual.
