Outer Banks Star Madelyn Cline on The Giant & Reactions to Chase Stokes Relationship

About this video
Madelyn Cline first entered pop culture consciousness as Hawkins High party girl Tina in Season 2 of the smash-hit Netflix series "Stranger Things"! Now, she got a Netflix hit of her own with the insanely popular mystery-drama "Outer Banks" as queen bee Sarah Cameron and also stars in the big screen thriller 'The Giant'! Young Hollywood joins Madelyn via Zoom where she is chilling on her off-day from shooting Season 2 of OBX in Charleston, South Carolina. She laments her inability to post more behind-the-scenes "tomfoolery" content with her castmates, as she runs the risk of spoiling the show, and she tells us more about her film project, which premiered at TIFF. Plus she reveals whether she prefers being a blonde or brunette and tells us her friends' reactions to co-star Chase Stokes announcing their relationship on social media!

You look so good.
Thank you.
I had a I actually put like a face on today and it felt nice.
I was going to say, how does it feel? How does it feel to get all glam?
It's nice. I miss like, you know, we do pretty minimal make-up on Outer Banks and um obviously I haven't been really putting on makeup because I've just been sitting inside and just lazy and don't feel like it anymore. So it's nice to have a full face and hair done. And a good excuse to do it, too.
Yes, yes. Where where are you right now?
Charleston.
Okay, so you're in your back home. Are you filming at all right now for Outer Banks?
We are. Yeah. I'm I have the day off. Today is my off day. Nice. Um, and after this I get to go get COVID tested. Nice. Um, It's my my tri-weekly lobotomy. Yep. And um But yeah, this is this is home in Charleston.
What do you usually do on your day off?
Anything's possible. Most days, um, most days just uh, hang out, uh, prep. Yeah. We've been um, our shoot schedule this year has been insane. It's been moving so fast and so like keeping up with the work has been like it feels like I'm just like just barely treading above water. And um, you know, the stakes feel higher, so just coming to work prepared is so necessary because you don't by the time like you feel like you're just getting into a scene, we're moving on to a next the next one. Right. And so um, so usually prep, um, I will usually take Milo to the dog park And um, watch him run around for like an hour, hour and a half. Let him swim, roll in the mud, do whatever. Yeah. And um, I don't know, yeah, that's maybe drink wine at the end of it. Nothing crazy.
And one of the things that for it's you do it's called Tomfoolery, right? That's what you call it. You have to pull all that on hold, right? Because you can't do any teasers from season two.
Yeah, that's the thing is like we have so we have so many funny moments that we've captured. Right. From season two already that we can't share. So we're just kind of, we're just We're just loading up on all these fun moments and these funny videos together so we can drop them when we when season two drops. Um, but yeah, it's it's kind of it makes me sad because people ask me, they're like, where's Tomfoolery? And
Right.
I'm like, yo, I really messed up. I I put like 10 videos in one post at a time for too many posts and now I'm out and I wish I could post more, but I can't. Um, but it's I keep telling people, it's coming, please don't worry, like we we are going to continue this series. It will never end. It will not end. No. Years from now, it'll still be happening. It'll still be going.
Well. And also, we want to talk about The Giant. When did you film that compared to Outer Banks?
The Giant shot in the summer of 2018.
Yeah. Well, life for you is probably a lot different now than when you filmed that. So are you excited to like see yourself in this film because so much has happened since then?
Yeah, I mean, it it premiered. I was able to go to the premiere at TIFF, which was really, really cool. TIFF is an amazing film festival. Um, and because of I was able to go for two years in a row, which was kind of a dream come true. And um, and that that was a lot of fun. So, I've I've seen it. I've seen it multiple times. I've watched it a couple of times and and I'm I'm immensely proud of it. And I can't wait for people to see it. It's definitely different. It's a coming-of-age story, but in a completely different tone and and light. So, um, it's it's very much of a thriller. It's very psychological.
Mhm. And throw back to your dark hair cuz you had dark hair in there.
Mhm.
How do you feel now? That's my hair. The brunette versus the blonde.
I don't know. I don't know what I like better. Sometimes I'm like, man, I I want to go back to my natural hair color and then I have days where I'm like, you know, I like this hair. It's fun. I think I think I'll go back to to brown eventually, but I'm I'm living with the blonde.
And we're going to play a little friends tag with you if you're down. So you have to pick what friend you would hit up or whatever in the scenario. Okay. Last friend you texted.
Chase.
Do you remember what you said?
Um, yeah, actually, so funny story. I um, I had another interview earlier and he crept into my apartment. And he like came up behind me and he said, hi. And I immediately got nervous and started sweating. And so, I um, I sent a picture of my pit stains.
Nice.
It's fine. That's a bit casual for text. I was like, this is your fault. It's fine.
Uh, funniest person you think that appears in the Tomfoolery posts?
Oh, man, I don't know. Uh, shoot. Can I say all of the above?
Yeah. All of them are pretty funny.
Yeah. Yeah.
Um, first person you texted when Chase posted the picture of you guys.
Um, my best friend in LA, Caroline.
Mhm. And who was the first person that texted you when they saw it?
So, the first person who texted me, um, uh, so I was I was actually with I was in um, Emerald Isle, North Carolina with my friend Elaine and Layla. And uh, we were all there and I was I think I was like taking a bath or something. I don't know. I'm not sure what I was doing, but anyways, they were in the next room over and Chase posted a picture and they texted me. They were like, oh my god. It's out. He posted about it. Yeah. Yeah.
