Chloé Hayden
“To have an autistic person let you into what they enjoy is such a privilege,” says Chloé Hayden, the fan-favourite lead of Netflix’s Heartbreak High, and our latest cover star. “If you don’t get excited about seeing a pod of 12 whales, that’s on you.” In this edition, the actor, activist and social media sensation talks candidly about public scrutiny, learning to say no, and the things that bring her unrivalled joy.
More highlights in this edition:
- Like many autistic women and girls, writer Phoebe Lupton spent years in limbo before discovering her true neurotype.
- In her Letter to My Younger Self, model Pattie Boyd takes us back to swinging London, where she said hello, goodbye to George Harrison, and carved out her own career as a photographer.
- The Taste of Things director Trần Anh Hùng talks French table manners, marital harmony and his side hustle in ceramics.
- The indelible musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto is memorialised by his son – filmmaker Neo Sora – in a final concert film that spans his entire illustrious career.
- And Sarah Pound plates up her Warming Beef Casserole – the perfect Sunday evening feast!
