She captioned this post, “So many moments that got us!”
“Washington got candid about her life and struggles before finding fame, how she's searching for her 'authentic self' while also trying to track down her biological father, how she kept her wedding a secret, and why motherhood is the most important role she has ever played,” she added.
‘The Django Unchained’ star also revealed during the interview that her dad was not her biological father.
The actress also spoke about her eating disorder and being sexually assaulted when she was a child.
