1. She Struggled with An Eating Disorder

Madelyn has revealed that she suffered from an eating disorder as a teen. "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 explained in a 2020 Body Scan video for Women's Health. She drastically cut calories, sometimes just eating six almonds for breakfast as to not "counteract the cardio" she was doing. "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."

2. Learning Self-Love Was a Game Changer

Madelyn’s mother was a “wonderful help” in terms of her recovery. “She would stand there in the mirror with me and we would list out things that I liked about my body," she explained. "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."

3. She Is Active Outdoors

Madelyn loves outdoor activities. “I want to climb a mountain or go backpacking somewhere. That'd be really cool,” she told Buzzfeed. However, in general, hiking isn’t one of her favorite things to do. “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.”

4. She Skateboards

Madelyn also skateboards. “I tried to learn how to do kickflips,” she revealed in a 24 Hours with Madelyn Cline video for Vogue.

5. Horses Are Her Therapy

Madelyn’s first job in Los Angeles was at a horse barn. “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. “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.”

6. She Deals with Her Anxiety

“I think the thing I’ve learned the most about my anxiety and dealing with my emotions and learning how to conquer the things, self sabotage, and imposter syndrome is just learning how to give in and let things happen and if it doesn't go as planned that’s okay,” she told Vogue. “And give yourself the permission to tell your anxiety to" hush.

1. Typical Diet

Cline’s diet depends on whether she’s working or not, and how hungry she is. “Sometimes I’ll wake up really hungry,” she says. “I’ll do a breakfast sandwich, oatmeal, [or] maybe a smoothie. I usually wake up pretty thirsty, so I’ll probably chug some water. On some days, In-N-Out. My order is a double-double with everything on it, plus chopped chillies, with an animal-style fry, and a Diet Coke. Usually I’ll forget about lunch until I get hungry, which is probably maybe like 4pm. I’ll realize I haven’t eaten, then I will probably Postmates something, a sandwich of some type. Usually I’ll get a tuna melt – it’s been a big thing recently.”

2. Veggies and Hummus

Cline’s dinner is usually soup or something else light. “If I’m going to snack, especially on-set, I’m probably going to go with Hot Cheetos, salt and vinegar chips, or those snap pea crisps," she says. "[I also like] good old vegetables and hummus, [they’re] also delicious. For dinner, because usually I wait to eat lunch later, I will probably do something just a little lighter. I love soup: chicken tortilla soup, I love a good green soup, lemon orzo soup is really yummy. I like Matzah ball soup, [and] potato and leek soup. The possibilities are endless here.”

3. Skin Breakouts

Cline is philosophical about the occasional breakout. “I focus on the active ingredients in a product,” she says. “For cleansing, the active ingredient that has been most effective for me is benzoyl peroxide. For pigmentation and anti-aging, I look for hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, and for dryness, I look for vitamin E.” “It’s obviously never fun to have stubborn acne onscreen — especially on Outer Banks when I’m wearing heavy makeup for 12 hours every day in 100 percent humidity. But at the end of the day, everybody gets pimples. Breakouts don’t diminish your beauty, baby.”

4. Charcuterie Board

Cline is a big fan of a really well-made cheese board. “Sometimes I really love to just make a charcuterie board, basically just an adult ‘Lunchable’. My perfect board would be brie or brie-adjacent cheese," she says. "I love to have a little bit of salami, prosciutto, and definitely crackers. I love to have some fruit on there, like grapes. I love to have a fig jam or a cherry jam, and some veggies. I’m not a major dessert person, but every once in a while, I’ll get a craving for dessert. There’s a bakery nearby, and I really love these little mini rum baba cakes, like these sponge cakes soaked in rum, and there’s just a little bit of cream filling. They’re so yummy, and they’re tiny and just enough. That’s all I need. I also love tiramisu."

5. Confidence From Mom

Cline struggled with eating disorders when she was a child, sometimes working out too much without eating properly. "My mom was a wonderful help in that,” she says. “She would stand there in the mirror with me and we would list out things that I liked about my body. 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."

Madelyn Cline is steaming up the shoreline in her swimsuit. The Outer Banks star looks sensational in her latest drop of social media snaps, posing on the beach in a floral print swimsuit. She shared the photos to Instagram, receiving so many compliments from her fans, including her co-star Madison Bailey. “She’s a beach babe,” the actress wrote. “Keep shining,” added tennis star Venus Williams.

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.”

6. 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.

"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."

3. She Takes Breaks From Social Media

Cline tells Glamour that she needs to take breaks from her social media pages from time to time. “It's important for me to remember that with my socials I’m incredibly blessed. But at the same time, sometimes it can get very loud, so I have to turn it off and listen to myself for a second and be present in the moment. It's so nice to not be thinking ‘oh, I'm gonna take this picture to post’. It's so nice to just leave my phone somewhere for a few hours. But it’s also such a wonderful tool and I'm so thankful for it.”

4. She Doesn’t Put Pressure On Herself

Cline tells Glamour that she doesn’t put pressure on herself to do things. “I feel like everybody puts pressure on themselves to look or act a certain way sometimes. And at the end of the day – it doesn't matter. Like, you know, we're on a floating rock hurtling through space, and to worry yourself about things like that – it's trivial. All bodies are beautiful, [realising that] is a part of self-love and self-acceptance.”

5. She Learned Chess

Cline tells Glamour that she learned how to play chess, which has helped with her anxiety. “On the Glass Onion set, Leslie [Odom Jr] taught Jess and I how to play,” she says. “He’d ask ‘‘what are my options?’ I think it just means to step outside of my thoughts for a second. We can often act on an anxiety or emotion that's really, really strong. But we could just take a minute, and ask ‘what can I do in the moment? What options do I have to centre myself?’ It can feel like everything is kind of closing in, but it's not true. I think [learning chess] is a wonderful life lesson in general.”
