Pursuing your dreams at a young age with Amie Donald

  • Summary

  • In this episode of When I Grow Up, Sienna interviews rising star Amie Donald, best known for her role as the demonic doll M3gan in the global box-office sensation of the same name and as Maya Monkey in Netflix’s popular series Sweet Tooth.

    Sienna, who dreams of becoming a child actor like Amie, dives into Amie’s experiences, challenges, and advice for young aspiring actors.

    Episode Highlights Include:

    • Landing the Role of M3gan: Amie shares the audition process for the role of M3gan, how it transformed her life, and what it feels like to see the movie's worldwide success, including fans dressing as M3gan for Halloween!
    • Behind the Mask and the Viral Dance: Amie describes the challenges of filming in a restrictive latext mask as M3gan and how they created the iconic M3gan dance (which wasn’t originally in the script) that became a massive TikTok sensation.
    • Action on Sweet Tooth: Amie talks about doing her own stunts as Maya Monkey on Sweet Tooth and the incredible CGI effects that her character's tail can do!
    • Balancing Stardom with School: From learning lines to staying on top of schoolwork, Amie reveals what it's like to juggle the demands of being a child actor, her friends’ reactions, and not being nervous delivering lines on high-pressure international sets.
