Now, after delivering a riveting performance as the lead star of the movie, Mikey Madison is making headlines and witnessing the Oscar buzz. But meanwhile, claiming to be flattered by the audience and critics’ response to her portrayal, the actress toldUSA Today, whose reaction she was worried about the most. Apparently, Madison claimed to feel anxious about her family, especially her twin brother Miles’ reaction.
I was nervous about my family seeing it because you want them to like your work. My twin is my closest friend, so I was able to ask him, ‘Did you like it? Do you think I’m a good actor?’
It’s embarrassing to even admit that, but he was speechless when he saw it for the first time. He was like, ‘Mikey, I didn’t see you at all; I just saw the character.’ Coming from him, that was really special to hear.
Despite being concerned about her family’s reaction, Mikey Madison’s anxiety was put to ease by her twin brother Miles. Although the actress mentioned how her brother was initially taken aback by her raunchy scenes, Madison later noted that Miles not only praised her performance but also boosted her self-confidence and her ability to take on such challenging roles in the near future.
