Hi Madison please tell us a little about yourself?
Hi!! I’m 19 years old, and I’m from Myrtle Beach, SC. I grew up in South Carolina and moved to Los Angeles when I was 16 to pursue my dream of being an actor. I love cats, dark chocolate, and live music. I tend to stay away from mushrooms, colorful clothing, and anything with more than four legs. I’m pretty simple minded; it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy!
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Passionate, kind, and creative.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Right on the coast!
Who is your role model?
My role model is definitely my mom. She’s the strongest person I know with the kindest heart. I could never ask for a better role model.
How’s a typical day in your life?
The days I’m working I pretty much wake up, go to set, and come home and sleep. Days i’m off I usually wake up and go to the gym. Mid-day I will either hang out with friends, go to auditions, be lazy with my cat, or just go to the beach!
How did you got selected for the CTM comedy “Still The King”? And about your character Charlotte?
I booked “Still The King” after being seen for the role about four times. When I found out I booked it I was beyond excited. The first time I read the breakdown for Charlotte, I fell in love with the character. She’s not your average 15 years old. She’s a little off-beat and witty with a love for music. Her dream is to become a music journalist, and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants.
How is your relationship with the other cast members?
The other cast members are great. They’re all so talented and easy to work with. It made those long 12 hour work days go by so quick. Everyday on set was a great day.
Can you share something funny that’s happened to you while filming?
Oh gosh hahha, there were so many funny moments!! One of my favorite moments was the day we filmed the scene where Ronnie chugs an entire bottle of “syrup” (which was really sweet tea). Jon, who plays Ronnie, made a deal with our producer that for every take he had to chug a bottle of sweet tea off camera while Jon was. Of course there were about four or five takes, and there was sweet tea literally everywhere!! It was a very messy day full of non-stop laughs.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I feel like my style is constantly changing. Right now I definitely lean more toward boho chic. Super laid-back, but still put together.
Who is your biggest beauty inspiration?
100% Jennifer Anniston. Not even bound to “beauty”, she’s my biggest inspiration for health and fitness as well. I can only hope I look as good as her when I’m her age.
Name one beauty product you can’t live without?
My Naked smoky eye pallet!!! It’s the absolute best!
Favorite designers?
I’m always shopping at BCBG, TopShop, and Zara!
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 year?
