Greta Gerwig has spoken for the first time about being diagnosed with ADHD.

The Barbie director discussed her diagnosis as an adult during an interview with The Observer.

The three-time Oscar nominee discussed how she had been “a real rule follower” as a child, and had “a ton of energy”.

“Now, as an adult, I have ADHD – they diagnosed me,” Greta explained.

“But as a kid, my mum was like, ‘Let’s sign her up for every activity. Let’s tire her out’.”

She continued: “I’ve always had a tremendous amount of enthusiasm. I was just interested in, like, everything.
