She Battled an Eating Disorder
Madelyn battled an eating disorder when she was a teenager. She revealed to Women's Health that she would barely eat any calories dramatically, some days allowing herself just six almonds for breakfast as to not "counteract the cardio" she was doing. "I think I was around 16 when I started working out a lot. I would wake up every morning at 5 a.m. and I would work out for 30 minutes. It was super rigorous cardio every day," she confessed. "It turned into not feeding myself protein and not feeding my body what it needed when I was working out so much. I worked out multiple times during the day. All I knew was I wasn't achieving a particular body image, and so I was angry. I was harming myself and starving myself in the process of trying to achieve that."
She Learned to Love Herself by Standing in Front of the Mirror
A "wonderful help" on Madelyn's journey to health was her mother. "She would stand there in the mirror with me and we would list out things that I liked about my body," she told Women's Health. "After that repetition those things became solidified in my mind. I like my curves, I like my hips, and after a while I started to love my body. I became so much happier."
She Spends Time Outdoors
Madelyn spends a lot of time outdoors. "I want to climb a mountain or go backpacking somewhere. That'd be really cool," she told Buzzfeed. "Like, I hate going on hikes, but I feel like I should climb a mountain at least once in my life. Just to say I did it. Yeah. I saw the view, I saw some clouds. And yeah, it's good, I did it. No more hiking ever again. Just cross it off."
She Skateboards and Rides Horses
Madison maintains an active lifestyle. One of her favorite hobbies? Skateboarding. "I tried to learn how to do kickflips," she revealed in a 24 Hours with Madelyn Cline video for Vogue. She also rides horses, and even worked at a horse barn when she first moved to Los Angeles. "Every morning I would get up at like 6am and I would drive to the barn and I would mop the stalls, feed them, and give them their supplements," she told Vogue. Spending time with the horses also boosted her mental health. "When I'm riding I feel very centered but also very alert because I am trying to figure out what the horse is telling me what is around us, if there is anything that might spook them. Just learning how to communicate with them, and if you stay calm they stay calm. So it's kind of a lesson in learning how to center yourself first. It's cathartic. There's a reason why people go and do horse therapy. It's because it's wonderful."
Chess Helps Treat Her Anxiety
During a recent interview with W Magazine, Madelyn revealed that one of her Knives Out 2 costars got her into a stress-blasting hobby. "Leslie [Odom Jr.] taught me how to play chess. It became one of my favorite things to do," she said. "Leslie was like, 'It's a great lesson not just in the game, but also in life.' [The experience taught me] how to handle things in a very calm manner, and [to ask myself], What are my options? I have crazy anxiety. I would go on a set and I'd be nervous every day. [Then I would remember,] what are my options? I needed to take a minute and step back. It was a really wonderful, serendipitous lesson."
She Takes Care of Her Skin Both From the Inside and Out
If you want glowing skin like Madelyn, plan on taking care of yourself both from the inside and out. She recently revealed her "favorite glassy skin secret," on Instagram. "Our skin is a mirror of our internal health and our external environment, it reflects our emotional state, hormones, dehydration, rest, and all of life in between. It's important to me to do everything I can to make sure my skin is as healthy and happy as possible even when I'm feeling run down and not on top of my self-care," she said. She also revealed that Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment by Skinceuticals is a product she loves. "It soothes my out of balance skin and reduces post-blemish marks, targets surface imperfections by reducing pore clogging surface oil, and brightens – giving me glassy, healthy and glowy skin," she said.
