Madelaine Petsch hates watching herself on screen.
The 31-year-old actress stars in and executive produced The Strangers: Chapter 2, the new horror film, but Madelaine admits that she struggles to watch herself on the big screen.
She told People: "I don’t enjoy watching my performances.
"I edited these films, so I watched them in that capacity. But when I was editing, I was able to remove myself from it because there’s a lot of stopping and starting."
Madelaine actually confessed to feeling self-conscious while watching The Strangers: Chapter 2 at the film's Los Angeles premiere.
She said: "I think the premiere in Los Angeles was the first time I had seen it on the big screen in a year, and it was a little bit like, 'Oh my God, these people are watching me.' I’ve never sat in a real theatre that's not a premiere, where there was an actual audience watching my film. I think that would make me feel crazy."
Meanwhile, Madelaine recently revealed that she's still able to "lean on" Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes for help and support.
The actress starred alongside Lili, 29, and Camila, 31, in Riverdale, the hit TV series, between 2017 and 2023, and Madelaine is thrilled to have retained a close friendship with her former co-stars.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "Those two girls are still my absolute best friends in the whole world.
"It can go one of two ways when you shoot a show like that, and it went the right way with us. We all came up together in a really intense environment, having shot up to a world that we’d never been in before: fame and a successful TV show. We had each other to constantly lean on in any scenario."
Madelaine thinks she's fortunate to have worked with such supportive people.
She said: "We still call each other to be like, 'I am doing this movie. Have you heard of this director?' And someone will say, 'Oh, I met with him.' And someone will ask, 'What was your experience like?' We’re a unit.
"No matter what we do or where we are, we always support each other. It’s rare in Hollywood to find people who don’t feel competitive with you and support you so unabashedly, so I’m really lucky to have found my people."
