Outer Banks’ Madelyn Cline Calls Out “Bizarre” Comments on Her Weight

by

Madelyn Cline isn’t interested in what the Internet has to say about her.

The actress from “Outer Banks” spoke out on social media comments regarding her looks, mentioning that although she’s conscious of the chatter online, it often doesn’t have a significant impact on her self-perception.

In a recent interview with Allure, she expressed that there is a strong fascination among people about weight, which strikes her as quite peculiar.

Although people often admire her appearance, the 27-year-old made it clear that changes in her weight are not extraordinary occurrences.

Throughout the years in Outer Banks, my looks have evolved due to various influences such as stress, relationship endings, and dietary choices, some healthier than others,” she went on. “This is just the way life unfolds.

Still, Madelyn acknowledged that as a performer, the camera “picks up everything.”

“Like, damn,” she exclaimed. “Can I not be on my period? Can I not have a beer the night before?”

Previously, Madelyn has openly discussed the public’s curiosity about her romantic life, which involves past connections such as her time with co-star Chase Stokes and comedian Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live. In February 2024, she publicly addressed her separation from the former, stating that she was under no obligation to explain the reasons behind their breakup to anyone.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, I shared that I value my personal space deeply. I have a side of myself that is meant solely for me to explore and understand.

However, following her split with Pete in July that particular year, Madelyn adopted a lighter perspective regarding the situation.

In a chat with Nylon last September, I gleefully shared, “The humor seems to flow effortlessly,” as I’m deeply fond of every previous iteration of myself. After all, it’s these past versions that have paved the path for my presence today, making us inseparable pieces of a timeless puzzle.

Not just Madelyn, several other stars have shared their thoughts on living under the limelight. For insights into how other famous personalities have addressed their weight loss experiences amid public scrutiny, continue reading.

It seems as if every time Jelly Roll hits a red carpet, he’s down a sizable slice of weight.

After shedding a challenging 100 pounds over time, the regular weatherman on TODAY now consistently takes at least 10,000 steps each day, monitors his diet carefully, and makes sure to incorporate some form of physical activity into his daily routine.

In an interview with People in June 2025, he shared his belief: “It’s better to do something than nothing.” He explained that while some may aim for marathons or weightlifting competitions, the majority simply seek a level of fitness that enhances their overall quality of life.

In 2002, Roker opted for gastric bypass surgery as a starting point for his fitness journey, yet he was quick to add that there’s no shortcut or easy fix, stating, “No quick solution exists.

Previously recognized for the “tush push,” ex-Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has recently been displaying his well-toned physique.

During his 13-year NFL career, the athlete wasn’t overweight, but he has lost approximately 25 pounds since then, as he revealed while participating in the 2025 Truist Championship pro-am golf tournament in Philly, where he weighed around 270.

250 to 260 pounds seems to be his ideal weight for retirement, where he aims to maintain a substantial build while being content with his appearance without a six-pack, as he shared with GQ in June 2024. He plans to retain some of that imposing figure.

One crucial element for the father of four daughters, married to Kylie Kelce, was ensuring he could match their energy levels.

It turns out Christopher Schwarzenegger is a chip off the ol’ muscly block.

Among Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver’s four shared children, the youngest one kept a low profile as Arnold shed 30 pounds, but now he’s once again active.

He explained during the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in May 2025 that it wasn’t a quick fix, but required numerous attempts, eventually leading to significant improvements by cutting out bread from his diet. He added that, despite noticeable changes, he doesn’t consider himself ‘after’ yet when comparing past and present photos.

Meanwhile, Christopher did not let a certain seven-time Mr. Olympia in on his plan.

Arnold shared with The Times in June 2025 that he wouldn’t confront his son about his weight. Instead, they gradually introduced healthier foods and encouraged gym visits. Surprisingly, the son decided to get lean on his own initiative. Now, he’s in great shape, demonstrating remarkable self-discipline and motivation. Arnold felt all along that he would eventually find the drive within himself, and it indeed happened.

During the ’90s run of “Roseanne,” John Goodman, with his large and cuddly persona, was well-known, as he reportedly weighed close to 400 pounds at one point when speaking with David Letterman in 2010. However, when “The Conners” debuted in 2018, the character John Goodman played – Dan Conner – had undergone some changes in his lifestyle.

In 2007, Goodman decided to stop consuming alcohol, marking the beginning of his journey towards improved physical fitness. Among his favorite pastimes were engaging in boxing matches and taking long walks with his beloved pets.

In 2010, he shared with People that although he was sweating quite a bit during workouts, he wasn’t feeling overwhelmed. He revealed that over the past while, he managed to shed approximately 100 pounds by exercising six days a week and eliminating sugar from his diet.

Overall, the 6-foot-2 actor has lost about 200 pounds since he was at his peak weight.

Oprah Winfrey has been sharing the highs and lows of her weight loss journey for decades.

She transitioned from wearing skinny jeans and pushing a cart filled with 67 pounds of weight to impress the audience on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1988, to purchasing a share in WeightWatchers in 2015. Throughout this time, she has consistently used her influence to keep the discussion about weight management relevant.

In the spirit of addressing today’s hot topic, I shared during a special episode of Oprah in March 2024 titled “Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution,” that I’ve been employing several strategies to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Along with practicing portion control and staying physically active, I’m also using medication to assist in regulating my weight.

“It’s not just one thing,” she said of her secret to staying fit, “it’s multiple things.”

In simpler terms, Oprah’s intention as she embarked on this special project was to “gradually eliminate the negative connotations associated with being overweight and the act of losing or not losing weight. This involves refraining from judging others for their weight status, and most crucially, it means we should stop criticizing ourselves.

Lizzo simply wanted to feel better from head to toe.

In a May 2023 TikTok post, the ‘Good as Hell’ singer shared that she began exercising to improve her mental health and achieve a balanced state of mind. She mentioned this was more about generating endorphins to prevent feelings of self-shame and disgust when looking in the mirror, rather than altering her physical appearance.

In a TikTok post from January 2025, she admitted that she was embarking on a purposeful weight reduction plan. Her aim was just to become the finest possible version of herself.

Regardless of where my weight loss journey takes me, I won’t be seen as thin by most people,” Lizzo shared. “According to BMI standards and online critics, I will still be categorized as morbidly obese. However, I will find joy and happiness in my own skin.

In just a moment, the video switched to Lizzo cheerfully announcing, “I’m happy!” while displaying a reduction of 16% in her body fat and a decrease of 10.5 points in her Body Mass Index (BMI) on the screen.

Here’s a simple, conversational way of saying the same message: “She said, ‘This serves as a nudge that there’s nothing you can’t accomplish if you truly believe and focus on it.’ Now, I suppose it’s high time we thought about fresh objectives.
