A lot has changed since actress Maddie Baillio (26) took the lead in ‘Hairspray Live!’ in 2016.
When the world was put on hold during the corona pandemic, the actor decided to start focusing more on his health.
Losing weight after a breakup
People he hinted at the matter.
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 was.
– 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 filming of the Amazon movie ‘Cinderella’ in 2020. Although she has always been comfortable in her own body most of the time, she noticed that it was hard to keep up with the other actors in the musical.
– There was a scene in the movie that wasn’t included in the clip, where me and the other stepsister from “Cinderella” were leading a group of about 300 amazing dancers who were skinny. I couldn’t keep up with the choreography. I was out of breath the whole time. We had to start recording the scene over and over for me, she says.
Lost over 20 pounds
It was then that he decided it was time to build up his stamina.
At the same time, the world closed down due to the corona pandemic and Baillio left the set of “Cinderella” in London and returned home to Texas.
– I had so much free time, so I thought I should 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.
I lost seven kilos for this
Plus, the actress claims that life just got a lot more fun when she got the physical stamina.
At the same time, she hopes the entertainment world remains open and inclusive for people of all shapes and sizes.
