‘Anora’ star Mikey Madison tells Us that it’s unfortunate how many societal stigmas there are around sex workers, explaining it’s ‘hard work’
Actress Mikey Madison spent months training to embody the moves of a real exotic dancer in Sean Baker’s Anora.
“There's so many societal stigmas that have existed from, I mean, the beginning of time. It's really unfortunate,” Madison exclusively told Us Weekly on the red carpet for the New York premiere on Tuesday, October 15. “But I think slowly but surely things are getting better.”“It's just a job and it's a real job. It's hard work as well,” she said.
In Madison’s preparation for the role, she watched documentaries, read memoirs written by sex workers and spent time with her costars — real-life dancer Luna Sofía Miranda and former dancer Lindsey Normington.“We spent a lot of time together just talking about the lifestyle and…the day in the life of a stripper,” said Miranda, who was also one of Madison’s consultants.
