OlderMaddie Ziegler Says She Never Set Out To Become an Actress
Maddie Ziegler is taking the cover of Wonderland magazine‘s Spring 2021 issue!
The 18-year-old dancer and actress opened up about growing up in the spotlight, dancing and more.
On accepting imperfections through dancing for Sia: As soon as I started doing choreography for Sia videos, I learnt that my imperfections can be beautiful. I’ll always have Sia to thank for that. She taught me how to express my true self and not hide behind a cover of trying to be ‘too perfect’, as both a dancer and a human. We’ve become so close — she’s like family.
On finding acting through dance: I definitely found acting through dance. That was never my goal, I was just set on becoming a professional dancer.
On growing up on screen and in the spotlight: It’s super scary. I have literally gone through puberty on screen and I’m bound to make mistakes. I try to keep that in the back of my mind: ‘It’s OK if you slip up, Maddie, you’re only human’. It’s a learning process, and I just hope people can understand that.
