11th 1990 La her Granddad is Dennis
Wilson of The Beach Boys who adopted her
dad Scott Wilson vandom despite being
the granddaughter of a beach boy there
weren't really many other opportunities
she still had to go out and audition no
one really knew that about her it had to
be discovered later on after she became
became famous off her own Merit she
actually didn't grow up in a privileged
way that you would think her father was
pretty absent although they have a
decent relationship now she grew up
pretty poor and in a bad neighborhood
surrounded by meth labs and crime it
shaped who she was and it shaped her
ability to navigate the industry not
really a nepple baby if people have to
Google it but a nepple baby by a
marginal technicality her mother is
makeup artist Rose Mendes she's making a
movie about her mom that that she's
directing producing and starring in
growing up her mother had her extremely
young and there's always fighting in her
house much like Maddie Alexa ran away
from home to escape a toxic household
lots of fighting her family was
supportive of her Ambitions in high
school she made this sunglasses brand
called Mainframe it was worn by Nicki
Minaj and several other subies she even
helped design Nikki's First costume for
her music video her first onscreen
appearance was in ailia Banks music
video for ATM Jam in
2013 she's only one year older than
ailia making her around 22 or 23 at the
time she's also been pictured with the
Kardashians Selita Gomez Bella Hadid Sky
Ferrera Grimes and probably several
other famous people this is where the
whole Alexa has lived so many lives meme
came from people seem to be shocked by
her age as if death is just around the
corner when she hit 25
strange the absence of that knowledge is
what made her so interesting how young
is she where is she from where does she
get her clothes does she dress as well
as Maddie in real life I think Alexa was
outed by her High School yearbook or
former classmate or whatever hater
anyway she's just like Mariah Carey time
just simply doesn't exist one time
Mariah stayed quiet during an interview
view when she was described as a young
20 something when she was actually 31
that feels like an Alexa move because
what is time to an IT girl exactly she
got her real start as an actress playing
Sarah in the 2015 short film miles
beyond that Alexa also makes music she
released the singles girl like me in
2016 and leopard limo in 2021 she also
directed two of her boyfriend Jameson's
music videos talk is jeap in 2018 and
love to you in 2021 where she also
starred as the visual Muse she's also
his Muse and just act like I'm not here
it's really just their thing it's kind
of cool singer boyfriend and Muse
girlfriend her role In 2018s Waves
really showed her range and emotional
intensity I don't know if I can do an
abortion I don't know if I can do it
fuck you don't tell me to stop
crying what the fuck is wrong with you
fuck you fuck you fuck fuck you fuck you
the type that such a chill person
usually doesn't show the public or the
types of reactions and breakdowns you
can't even imagine someone like her
having but she can she can do that and
so much more she's not just a cool
looking girl she's a Bonafide actress I
want to bring out uh in my humble
opinion some of the best actors in the
world Alexa Demi please
come the goddess
[Music]
sorry I'm a little emotional but for um
for for most of it you hardly knew that
he was even there you did not even know
the camera was there and that's not
usual she also started mid99s in 2018
mainstream in 2020 and 19 on fire in
2021 her role in mid99s
was controversal
she kissed a Min her on screen and
caught a lot of FL for it the norm for
Hollywood but still of course Maddie
Perez and Euphoria is her defining
character she became her and made her
feel real Sam is like completely open
and and collaborative and even before we
would have table reads like we would
just talk on the phone with him about
the script so he's he's also somebody
that's really open even though
everything is really technical there you
know there's been times where we've been
able to kind of rework something if it
wasn't if it wasn't working she went
into a cheese
shop and guess what the name of one of
the cheeses was yep Euphoria and then I
just kept getting like signs I I I
always go to this Deli and I went to the
deli and I looked down and they had like
a big case of cheese and there was a
cheese called Euphoria and it was like a
day after I had done the test so I was
like the universe trying to tell me
something she also remembers seeing
Jacob a Lordi during the audition and
getting a gut feeling that he'd get the
role she was even on the OA just like
Zinda that's how she found out about
Euphoria she also had a dream about
becoming friends with zindaa before it
even happened a premonition maybe
Alexa's always seemed very witchy
especially in her fairy photo shoot with
petrick Hollands she's obsessed with
fairies and the mystical and mysterious
side of life just as people are as
obsessed with her own Mystique her
comedic timing and grasp on Mean Girl
humor is impeccable bitch you better be
joking some say she plays herself in all
her roles but
honestly who doesn't she just knows how
to become it so much and inform it with
her own personality to the point where
it looks like she's not even acting she
also Drew on her real life experiences
and toxic and tumultuous High School
relationships to add to the tragic mess
of a saga that is Maddie Perez and Nate
Jacobs not quite abusive
don't be too alarmed but you know
passionate she did a short cameo in the
idol where Sam levenson had his least
popular project in the same universe as
his most popular
project she's also providing a voice
role in the upcoming film
fables it's still in development there's
something so Alexa about being lowkey
and branching into something else vastly
different from her main role while her
fans wait
she doesn't have very many projects
lated in the near future but she's done
plenty of work to give casting directors
more reasons to C her her future seems
as bright as her jeweled makeup looks
and I doubt Maddie Perez is the start
and end of her story and the industry
this is actor stories my doy Series
where I tell the story behind the
Storyteller let me know which actor you
want to see in a future
documentary thanks for watching see you
in the next
video
