Hannah Zeile Previews Teen Kate's Struggles on 'This Is Us'

Hannah Zeile glitters in a gorgeous Escada gown for the 2018 Movieguide Awards on Friday (February 2) in Universal City, Calif.

The 20-year-old This Is Us actress was joined by on-screen brother Niles Fitch, as well as Shane Harper at the event.

Speaking with US Weekly recently, Hannah opened up about what struggles teenage Kate will go through in the upcoming episodes.

We’ve seen young Kate and adult Kate struggling with weight, but what about teen Kate? “To be honest, I am always ready for anything with this show. The writers will come with stuff and it’s sometimes not expected. I’m not exactly sure.”

Hannah adds that “teenage Kate [definitely] feels that. She has issues with her mom because of it, because she makes her feel inadequate and makes her feel self conscious about herself.”

“Teenage Kate is kinda angsty, she’s kinda sassy and independent right now,” she adds, opening up about dating coming into her life. “I’m not really sure if she’s ready to bring anyone else into the mix. She’s on a bitter grind right now.”
