Audiences who have watched the 2021 movie version of "Cinderella" may have some impressions of this role, that is, Anastasia, one of the daughters brought by Cinderella's stepmother, is also Cinderella's sister, of course, this is a villain, after all, the "wicked" in fairy tales are either ugly from the heart, or lazy and fat, otherwise it will not reflect the kindness of the heroine.
But now Cinderella's bad sister Anastasia has become like this, wearing a lace fabric jumpsuit, smiling brightly, and more importantly, those fluffy flesh are gone, and it really makes people doubt, when filming, was special effects added?
Anastasia is played by Maddie Baillio, a 26-year-old woman who was not particularly well-known, but on November 10, local time, she became the focus of many American media because her body shape changed to a surprising extent.
Maddie shared her experience, saying that in 2 years, she successfully lost 150 pounds (about 136 pounds) through exercise and changing eating habits, "She divided herself in two, and left the lighter one", some netizens lamented.
And from the comparison photos, it can also be seen that she once starred in "Hairspray Live!" has now slimmed down into a completely different feeling from before, her figure is very graceful, and even the abs line is clearly visible.
"I feel better now than ever because I can control my body shape," Maddie said. She said that she returned to her hometown of Texas after starring in the "Cinderella" movie, just in time for the lockdown during the pandemic, and she had a lot of free time.
"The sun is very good for my mental health and physical health. I was able to walk for 30 minutes initially, then it was an hour, and then the next week, two hours, so that's how I started," Maddie says of the weight loss process, "I stepped on the scale and saw that I could control something, I could control my body, which was encouraging."
Maddie said she also changed her red meat eating habit to a vegetarian diet.
When talking about the reason for losing weight, Maddie said that it was because she couldn't run when filming "Cinderella", "There was a scene that did not appear in the movie, the original plan was that my sisters and I ran along a path to the castle with about 300 girls to sing and dance", "I couldn't keep up with the choreography, I couldn't breathe because I all had to reshoot over and over again".
But after losing more than half of her weight, Maddie doesn't have to worry about physically demanding activities, "I go to West Hollywood now, I can dance all night, and when my body has this energy, life becomes more interesting." At the same time, Maddie also hopes that after losing weight, she can win more roles.
"I wanted to play a role on Broadway that had nothing to do with my weight, and I've moved towards that," but Maddie stressed, "I don't comment on other people's looks because I know how it feels when I'm struggling."
Maddie is now dating an actor, Solomon Reynolds, who was a former high school classmate who reunited in Palm Springs and became lovers.
When it comes to her love affair with Solomon, Maddie says it's "healthy and comfortable for me," while telling the outside world that she was a "plus-size girl" in high school, that "Solomon was one of the few boys at that time who was friendly to me," and "the most talented person I've ever met," Maddie added.
