While talking to Interview Magazine, Gross mentioned that she never joined theatre because of her shy nature until high school.

She further elaborated that joining the university was an eye-opening experience for her as she witnessed other students’ huge passion for acting. 

After taking a semester break from her the university and doing a play in Toronto, the actress resumed her education.

She also expressed how she was more inclined to the writing and directing side, but after realizing that it wasn’t an easy venture to pursue, she dropped it and began focusing on acting.

Talking to the Interview Magazine, the Toronto native mentioned she would probably be an archeologist if she had not been into acting. She elaborated:

...I went to theater school because I realized I wasn’t actually skilled at anything. Maybe an archeologist. My grandmother grew up in the badlands of Alberta, so we spent every summer going bone hunting.

While answering the series of questions in the interview, she talked about working in Hooters for three weeks after she received her bartending license. 

The actress leads a very private life. So private that she is not even on social media platforms. Only a bunch of her fan pages could be found on Instagram and Twitter.

Going by that statement, Gross might very well start dating seriously any time now.
