Hailey Welch might be the new internet sensation but is not keen on a career in Hollywood.
The sensation of the Hawk Tuah Girl never seems to die down and a single viral video has made Hailey Welch an overnight star. Her honest and cheeky reply to a s*x-related question impressed many, with Welch already acquiring and signing with a management company called The Penthouse.
Through the viral video, many career opportunities have come up for Welch and many are interested in what she does next. She has received various lucrative deals and gigs for popular companies. Hollywood had even come calling for her but her manager has turned down that big offer since she is not a professional actress.
Hawk Tuah Girl Hailey Welch Ain’t Coming To Hollywood Anytime Soon
People are fascinated by the fun and no-filter attitude of the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl and are interested to know more about her. Since her viral video, Hailey Welch has found representation and is now repped by Jonnie Forster. Despite having no experience in handling the media and the world of influencers, she has become a sensation.
As Forster tells The Hollywood Reporter, they have been offered millions and millions by companies like OnlyFans and got offers from American Idol but turned them all down. Even Hollywood has noticed the Hawk Tuah girl’s growing popularity and offered her roles in horror films. However, Forster does not believe she is a fit for that world.
As her rep tells THR, they have turned down several offers to appear in some horror films. A producer was even ready to reshoot a movie’s ending just to include Welch. She could have been the next scream queen like Mia Goth or Maika Monroe. However, Forster told the producer and others to hire a professional actress, as she is not one. Forster said,
She’s not an actress. We’ve turned down a number of movie offers, including several horror movies. One producer wanted to reshoot his movie’s ending to include her. I just got another offer literally five minutes ago. I’ve talked to these producers and said, ‘Hire an actress’. She’s not a professional actress.
While the reply may seem cold, it was the right thing to do as they do not want to rush things by hastily committing to potential career paths that are not fit for Welch. As Forster further tells, they are taking their time with what to do next and “are looking at launching a podcast with her”. Her rep feels that it will be a natural fit where she could be her funny and authentic self.
Hailey Welch Does Not Want The ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ To Be The Ultimate Image Of Her
Hailey Welch has become the next sensation with her viral video and being known as the Hawk Tuah girl. While it has certainly led her to amass a fan following and become an overnight star, she does want that to be the only thing for which she’s known.
In an appearance on the Plan Bri podcast (via X), Welch stated that she is more than just the Hawk Tuah girl that people know her as. The craze and fame from it are not what she wanted as a person. She said.
I don’t really want that to be, like, my image. I just – I don’t see that being, like, my thang, you know? I don’t want to be known as that.
As her rep told The Hollywood Reporter, a reality show about her life and her life-changing moment is currently in development. People will get to know her more as a person through that and her possible foray into podcasting in the future. It remains to be seen what Welch’s next step is amidst her ever-growing popularity.
