Recently, Mikey Madison, fresh off her Academy Award triumph earlier this year, has granted a rare glimpse into her post-Oscar life in a revealing interview with Vogue Italia. The Anora star delved into her brief hiatus following her Best Actress Oscar win.
"I sense that my entire environment has undergone a transformation, intensifying my urge to retreat into solitude," confessed the 26-year-old actress, known for her role in Scream. While acknowledging her "extreme introversion," Mikey also admitted to harboring "a profound thirst for adventure."
"It's a矛sh that I've long grappled with, but lately, it's become more pronounced," Mikey lamented. When probed about her absence from social media, the Better Things star responded, "I steer clear of social media platforms. I don't mourn missed gatherings or dinners, yet it feels as though society is exerting pressure on me to engage."
Mikey observed that individuals often "don a mask to conform and make others at ease," revealing a poignant insight into societal expectations.
Elsewhere during the interview, the Lady in the Lake actress opened her heart about her aspirations. "Encountering individuals at the pinnacle of their careers who still choose kindness is inspiring. That's the kind of person I aspire to be," she shared with the publication.
Mikey expressed her deep admiration for those who cultivate their "sense of playfulness," adding, "I yearn to indulge in self-indulgence too. My mother recently reminded me, 'If only you could view yourself with the same lens as you see others, you'd be infinitely happier.'"
