A lot has changed since actress Maddie Baillio (26) had the lead role in “Hairspray Live!” in 2016. When the world was put on hiatus during the corona pandemic, the actor decided to start focusing more on her health.
Lost seven kilos
This resulted in the 26-year-old losing 68 kilograms over the course of two years. This corresponds to a weight loss of more than half the weight it once had.
People is among the media that covered the case.
– Life is Beautiful! I have a healthy and beautiful relationship with myself and my body, my family and my boyfriend. I’m in a more centered and down-to-earth place in life, the actor tells People.
Baillio goes on to say that it all started during the recording of the Amazon film “Cinderella” in 2020. Although she has always been mostly comfortable in her own body, she noted that it was difficult to keep up with the other actors in the musical.
– There was a scene in the film that didn’t go into editing, where me and the other half-sister “Cinderella” led a group of about 300 incredible dancers who were skinny. I couldn’t keep up with the choreography. I lost my breath the whole time. We had to start recording the scene over and over for me, she says.
– Lost 45 pounds three times
It was then that he decided it was time to increase his stamina.
At the same time, the world closed due to the corona pandemic and Baillio left the set of “Cinderella” in London and went home to Texas.
– I had so much free time, so I thought I’d start walking. The sun was good for my mental and physical health. I could walk for 30 minutes to an hour and then the next week I was suddenly walking for two hours. That’s how it started for me.
Also, the actress says that life got a lot more fun when she got the physical stamina.
– Spends a million on the look
At the same time, he hopes the entertainment world will remain open and inclusive for people of all shapes and sizes.
