Transcript
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 8 a.m.
00:20Nice. I fell asleep on my best friend's couch cuddling her dog,
00:25and then she woke me up and was like, it's midnight.
00:28Right. 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?
00:44I 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.
00:52So, yeah, of course, I'm always trying to learn something about myself
00:58or grow in some little way.
01:01So hopefully I'll cross a couple of those things off.
01:04Do you do resolutions?
01:06I do, and I have intentions.
01:09They're not resolutions.
01:10Intentions, because I find like I stick to that a little bit better.
01:13I'm curious.
01:14I know one of your resolutions will probably not be to start an Instagram account
01:18because you don't do that.
01:21You don't start social media.
01:27You're not on social media.
01:29Sorry, I'm very aware of what's happening.
01:32What was your question?
01:34One thing I haven't heard you talk about very much is you're not on social media at all.
01:38Tell me why.
01:39Oh, I don't know.
01:40It's just not something that feels right for me.
01:45Will you ever, do you think?
01:47I don't know.
01:49Never say never, I guess, yeah.
01:52By the way, standing here on this line tonight,
01:53a couple people have mentioned your name just as their favorite performance of the year.
01:56Even John Lithgow was like, I just met Mikey Madison.
01:59He was so floored.
02:00Yeah, wow.
02:01This must feel really good.
02:03Have you had a really special encounter with another actor that has really stayed with you,
02:08just who's, you know, reached out, texted, given you a hug, said, I love, I love your work?
02:14Oh, gosh.
02:21We 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.
02:41And so, like, you know, we'll be checking in with each other, seeing how the other person is doing.
02:46And so, I don't know.
02:48I'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 lucky.
02:59I feel the love, you know?
03:02Yeah.
03:03Speaking of female camaraderie, you're on our cover today with the Actress Roundtable.
03:08And I loved reading just the intro about the dogs and how the dogs, everybody, you know,
03:12a couple of actresses brought their dogs.
03:14You were one of them.
03:15Did your dog make some new friends that day with Zendaya or Demi Moore?
03:20It was a difficult day for Strawberry Jam.
03:24It 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.
03:39But everyone else's dogs were perfectly behaved.
03:42Just mine was the one who was not happy to be there.
03:46Yeah.
03:46So, is he banned now from sets?
03:49I'm going to keep trying because, selfishly, I want to bring him everywhere with me because
03:55he's so cute.
03:56But, lesson learned, he doesn't, he's very protective of me and doesn't like other people
04:01to approach me or touch me, which is kind of difficult to go through life like that.
04:06So, yeah.
04:07It's nice to be loved like that, though.
04:09It is, isn't it?
04:11Yeah.
04:12Do you have a little...
04:13I don't even have a plant.
04:16I got to get a cat.
04:18Hi.
04:19She doesn't get a cat.
04:20Hey, this has been such a big, you know, moment for you in your career.
04:25Are you reading scripts?
04:27Have you decided what to do next?
04:28Are you, like, is that, can you even wrap your head around that yet?
04:32A little bit.
04:33I'm excited for what might happen in the future because, like, I mean, making movies is my
04:40absolute dream.
04:42And so there have been some wonderful scripts I've read and I'm definitely excited.
04:47Yeah.
04:47Yeah.
04:48You're welcome.
04:49You
