Mia Goth Says Motherhood Is Reshaping Her Career in Candid Elle Interview

She frames a turbulent childhood as motivation to provide daughter Isabel with a stable home.

Overview

  • In the November Elle cover interview, Goth calls having a child "a really psychedelic experience" and describes Isabel as "the greatest gift of my life."
  • She says becoming a mother informed her choices and enriched her work on Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Netflix film Frankenstein, where she plays Claire and Elizabeth.
  • Reflecting on her past, she recalls frequent moves across Brazil, Canada, and the U.K., including attending nine schools in a year and inventing family stories to cope.
  • She emphasizes wanting to be a reliable constant for Isabel, saying her daughter can always come home if work or relationships go wrong.
  • Goth, 31, shares Isabel, 3, with partner Shia LaBeouf, and press reports link her to future big‑budget projects such as Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Shawn Levy's Starfighter.
