24-year-old actress, FX series “Better Things,” as well as Films “Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood” and “Scream 5” are known for their roles, a working actor for more than a decade for more than a decade There have been high and heartbreak of the industry. But this year, after her performance at Sean Baker’s Palme D’Or “Anora,
Madison spoke to variety Award Circuit Podcast For episodes of this week; Listen down.
As much as “Anora” demanded him, nothing compared to the final scene. Madison was spreading it. “I look at it on the schedule and just think, well, it’s a few weeks away, I don’t have to deal with it yet,” she says. “But then suddenly, it was there.”
The scene makes even more touching that Madison took inspiration from a deep personal source: a sound mail was released by her father. “I heard it before filming,” she reveals. “I don’t think I have ever used something personal for a scene before. But it seemed necessary. He passes through Annie, needs to feel completely real.”
The result was nothing short of wavering. When “Anora” was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, the audience sat quietly for about a minute after the credit rolled. “I remember looking at Shaun and thinking, well, shame. That’s all. “She says.” And then suddenly, this huge standing ovation. It was real. “To win Palme D’Or, achieved her place in cinematic history, and now, she is named an Oscar. , Which is difficult for them to believe.
During an episode of Madison, Madison says, “I mean, of course, it’s something that I thought and there is a long day.” Diversity Awards Circuit Podcast, because she still seems a bit surprised by the reality of all. “Anytime being in such a situation, my feeling of reality is a bit far away. Because then I just went home, it was like scrubbing my house and taking care of my dogs. Everything felt the same. ,
Madison is sitting cross-leagged at the studio, wearing clothes carelessly, with his orange Chihuahua, named Larbi Strawberry Jam, which was curled in his lap. Story behind the name? “I just couldn’t decide,” she laughs. “So I thought, why not give him to all of them?” She also has a cat named Biscuits, and naturally, the names were to match. Unaffected by the importance of its owner’s Oscar moment, the largeri, whispering a topical high-patting during the conversation, takes out and stops us in our tracks because he has to hunt.
Madison believes that he never allowed himself to believe that an enrollment was possible. “I definitely contact things with a protective layer around me,” she says. “I have spoken very heart in this industry. Many times it has happened where I have received the role of my dream, and then, for whatever reason, the rug has been taken out of me. ,
Even as a discussion around “Anora” through the festival season, she was doubting. “I was so, no, it’s not happening. I would not really allow myself to think that it was real.”
Baker’s “unoracious,” a raw, electric dramaid about a young sex worker who falls in love with the son of a Russian elite, came out from anywhere for Madison. “I had just finished ‘scream’, and perhaps later, I received a call from my agent that said that the scene wanted to consider me a film,” she remembers. “I was a fan of his work, but I was never any of his caliber … reached me.”
The meeting itself was unconventional. “I remember, is this an audition? Do I be going to read?” She remembers. “But she just seated me and said,” Hey, this is a loose idea that I have for a film. I want you to be in it. ‘And I was so,’ Yes ​​… but wait, it’s not how it works. ‘ ,
Unlike most of his previous roles, “Anora” was the first job for which he did not have to audition. “I was scrolling through my dropbox on the second day and I have seen hundreds of auditions – I have worked for so many hours. And it was once when I did not have to audition. But then, whatever came was extremely difficult. ,
Baker, known for his immersive, varit-style film production with films like “The Florida Project” and “Tengerrin”, pushed Madison to his borders. “Anora” required an intensity that was both emotional and physical, as Madison embodied a character, which never proceeded, fighting, shouting and surviving. “I move through the world at a slow pace,” she believes. “I take my time. Annie is the opposite – she lives at the fastest speed, is constantly going, continuously rages. It was tired. ,
As long as the filming wrapped, Madison was completely dried. “I didn’t even realize how tired I was until I stopped. There was a week when I was lying in bed. Why do I think I have a flu? And it hit me – I was walking on Adrenaline for months. ,
Now, with an Oscar enrollment under his belt, Madison is still getting his position in the chaos of the awards season. “It’s all a little heavy,” she believes, killing the small head of the larbe. “But at the end of the day, I just want to work. This has always been a goal. ,
For now, she is tasting the moment – no matter how real it looks.
