00:00Nice to see you. Happy New Year, Mikey Madison.

00:03How are you?

00:04Good. How are you? How was your break?

00:07It was wonderful. Lots of rest. A very gentle holiday break for me.

00:13How was yours? What did you do for New Year's?

00:15I was in bed by midnight and then I was at the beach by 8am.

00:20Nice. I fell asleep on my best friend's couch cuddling her dog.

00:25And then she woke me up and was like,

00:28It's midnight. Welcome to 2025.

00:31If there's any other indication that you are not Annie, that was your New Year's Eve.

00:35I like to be in bed by like 10, honestly. Yeah.

00:40And are you a New Year's resolution intentions person?

00:45I love a fresh start. And I think that the new year really symbolizes that.

00:50And it's a good excuse to have a fresh start.

00:53So yeah, of course, I'm always trying to learn something about myself or grow in some little way.

01:01So hopefully I'll cross a couple of those things off. Do you do resolutions?

01:06I do. And I have intentions. They're not resolutions. Intentions.

01:10Because I find like I stick to that a little bit better.

01:13I'm curious. I know one of your resolutions will probably not be to start an Instagram account because you don't do that.

01:23You don't start social media. You're not on social media.

01:28Sorry, I'm very aware of what's happening. What was your question?

01:33One thing I haven't heard you talk about very much is you're not on social media at all. Tell me why.

01:39Oh, I don't know. It's just not something that feels right for me.

01:44Will you ever, do you think?

01:46I don't know. Never say never, I guess. Yeah.

01:52By the way, standing here on this line tonight, a couple of people have mentioned your name just as their favorite performance of the year.

01:57Even John Lithgow was like, I just met Mikey Madison. He was so floored.

02:00Yeah, wow.

02:02This must feel really good. Have you had like a really special encounter with another actor that has really stayed with you?

02:09Just who's, you know, reached out, texted, given you a hug, said, I love your work.

02:14Oh gosh.

02:22We just met, I guess. Yeah.

02:26There have been so many incredible people that I've met and become friends with.

02:33Gosh, I mean, Pamela Anderson is, what a beautiful performance she gave in her film.

02:38And we know each other and so like, you know, we'll be checking in with each other, seeing how the other person is doing.

02:47So I don't know. I'm grateful for the women I've been able to meet.

02:52And I really feel that like female camaraderie, which is very important to me.

02:57So I'm, I'm lucky. I feel, I feel the love, you know? Yeah.

03:03Speaking of female camaraderie, you're on our cover today with the Actors Roundtable.

03:08And I loved reading just the intro about the dogs and how the dogs, everybody, you know, a couple of actresses brought their dogs.

03:14You were one of them. Did your dog make some new friends that day with Zendaya or Demi Moore?

03:20It was a difficult day for Strawberry Jam. It was, it's hard to be him sometimes.

03:26He was, he got a little overwhelmed and was like growling at Tilda at one point.

03:32And so we had to just, my makeup artist was just holding him.

03:37He was very naughty that day, but everyone else's dogs were perfectly behaved.

03:42Just mine was the one who was not happy to be there. Yeah.

03:46Is he banned now from sets?

03:49I'm going to keep trying because selfishly I want to bring him everywhere with me because he's so cute.

03:56But lesson learned. He doesn't, he's very protective of me and doesn't like other people to approach me or touch me.

04:03Which is kind of difficult to go through life like that. So yeah.

04:07It's nice to be loved like that though.

04:09It is, isn't it? Yeah. Do you have a little...

04:13I don't even have a plant. I got to get a cat.

04:18Hi.

04:20Hey, this has been such a big, you know, moment for you and your career.

04:25Are you reading scripts? Have you decided what to do next?

04:28Are you like, is that, can you even wrap your head around that yet?

04:31A little bit. I'm excited for, for what might happen in the future.

04:37Because like, I mean making movies is my absolute dream.

04:42And so there have been some wonderful scripts I've read and I'm definitely excited. Yeah.
