Mandy Moore Is Hopeful for the Future, Explains Why She 'Needed' This Break in 2020

Mandy Moore is opening up plans for the future and how she’s hopeful for change to come.

The 36-year-old This Is Us actress chatted with Parade magazine for the new cover story. Even though a lot of people want 2020 to end already, she explained why she has needed this break in 2020.

“I’m hopeful!” Mandy said about the future. “I feel like a lot of people look at 2020 and are ready to skip on over to 2021, and I totally understand that.
