Madelyn Cline has shared her excitement about working alongside Hollywood legends Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in the upcoming action thriller “Day Drinker,” directed by Marc Webb. The 27-year-old actress reflected on her enriching experience with her co-stars in an interview with Interview magazine, expressing how working with such experienced actors was a “priceless” opportunity for growth.
Cline described the film as a unique crime thriller that transports viewers into its own world, highlighting the intensity of the project. She noted the positive feedback she has received about her performance, which adds to her enthusiasm.
However, the actress also opened up about the challenges of her profession. With a notable role in 2022’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” she explained how some roles demand emotional investment, making it difficult to detach from the characters after a long day’s shoot. “You come home at night, and you’re just restless because you’ve disassociated from yourself for the day,” she said, acknowledging the struggle to return to her personal life.
Earlier this year, Cline drew parallels between her character in “The Map That Leads to You” and her own introverted nature. In this romantic drama, she plays Heather, a role that she felt closely connected to her real-life self. Discussing her character comparisons, she noted, “Heather is me right now at my parents’ house… I’m with my dog, and I have to go to work tomorrow.”
In contrast, she described her character Danica from “I Know What You Did Last Summer” as a more extroverted representation of herself, emphasizing the variety of personas she brings to her roles. Cline’s journey in exploring different facets of her personality through acting is not just a professional endeavor; it appears to be a deeply personal exploration as well.
Madelyn’s experiences on set and her reflections on character portrayal highlight the duality of her artistic craft, blending professionalism with personal insights. As she continues to evolve as an actress, her insights reveal both the challenges and rewards of working in the film industry, promising an exciting journey ahead for her fans.
