 I D G A F.

Means I Don’t Give A F*ck. It means you don’t care, and you mean it. It’s a tricky outlook in life, meant mostly for rebels and those who refuse to play by the rules, but in these days of serious complications, is one that we all should reconsider. It’s something Nathalie Hart has come to figure out for herself, and which has made a lot of things much clearer and simpler for her. She’s always been strong-willed—it’s safe to say she just took it up a notch as she got older.

The need for independence is the cornerstone of her boldness, informing the choices she has thus far made in her career. That’s what got her through name changes and TV networks and from the next-teen star to this-generation’s-sex-vixen in what seemed like rash decisions, but in hindsight isn’t. It’s what made her decide between leaving all the fame behind for a life of normal obscurity somewhere else, or sticking it out in the business she willed herself into and chucking all the rules by the wayside.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s begin with the backstory.

PRINCESS TINKER BELL SNELL WAS BORNIN 1993 OF MIXED PARENTAGE.

Her mom is Filipina; the dad is Australian. But her mom remarried early and so she grew up with a stepfather. She only saw her real dad when she was nine. By Nathalie’s own admission, “I’ve had a lot of drama in my life,” but not overwhelming enough that she’d had to beg for attention. As far as she is concerned, she was loved.
