The ‘Barbie’ director opened up about the condition — which can lead to impulsive behaviour and trouble concentrating — in a new interview with the Guardian, revealing she always had a lot of energy as a child but she didn’t get diagnosed until she was an adult.She told the newspaper: “ had a ton of energy. Now, as an adult, I have ADHD — they diagnosed me. But as a kid, my mum was like: ‘Let’s sign her up for every activity. Let’s tire her out.
The 39-year-old actress/director is mom to two kids with her partner and collaborator Noah Baumbach, and she says her eldest son has inherited her love of “high drama.”Article contentShe explained: “Occasionally he’ll have these moments of high drama. He’ll fall to the floor. He did this the other day. I wasn’t able to make him breakfast instantly, because I was feeding my three-month-old, and he fell to the floor, weeping and said: ‘I’m having a sorely trying day. It’s already a problem.
During the glitzy event, Greta gave a nod to Noah as well as the striking writers, saying: “My co-writer and co-creator, my partner in love and art, Noah Baumbach is not here. He is passionately supporting the fight of the Writers Guild of America. “From the first line to the last cut, this movie is his as much as anyone’s. He is a Barbie girl. Nothing in ‘Barbie’ happened without him, and nothing in Hollywood happens without writers.”
