It’s no wonder that Mikey Madison is in the thick of deep cleaning her home. After spending much of 2024 on the road with her breakout smash of a movie “Anora,” and staring down the gauntlet of early 2025 awards season, Madison is finally spending some more time in her hometown of Los Angeles. Every little bit of zen is going to count in the weeks ahead.

“I think that there is something to be said about returning to your space and somewhere that feels comfortable and safe for you,” Madison says. “And my home is definitely that for me, which is why I’ve been frantically reorganizing and cleaning and tidying and all that stuff because it’s important.”
