Rachel Zegler lives in the strange pressure cooker of fame, where every breath she takes becomes someone’s battleground. Adored like a saint, dragged like a controversy—she dances through digital firestorms with a grin sharp enough to cut glass.

In a conversation with i-D, Rachel Zegler opened up when asked if she ever worries about the consequences of being outspoken. She is well aware of the risks—professional fallout, public backlash, even personal threats. “There are obviously things that are at stake by being outspoken,” she acknowledged, “but nothing is worth innocent lives.” To her, compassion should have no limits. Her heart, she says, does not recognize borders. And if that unfiltered empathy is seen as a flaw or a downfall? She does not hesitate. 

Rachel Zegler carries the political conscience of a generation that refuses to accept polished fairytales as reality. She is among the rare voices in Hollywood, unafraid to question how we respond to global conflicts and what truly matters. “A platform becomes a responsibility,” she says, echoing actor Hannah Einbinder, “and that responsibility is ours to use as we please.” For Zegler, silence is simply not an option. That same conviction extended beyond politics—most recently, it was on full display when Zegler, with both fearlessness and compassion, took a public stand in defense of her bodyguard.
