]]>Anora stars Madison as a twenty-something exotic dancer whose life takes a wild turn after she marries the wealthy son of a Russian oligarch. She won an Oscar for her breakout role in this indie film, but preparing for it wasn’t easy, and she told Nashville Scene that the training process completely changed her body.
“You have to build lots of upper-body strength and develop muscles in places you didn’t have before, but… the conditioning that goes along with the training… is one of the things that I never expected. So it was a big undertaking to dedicate myself to accomplishing certain skills,” she explained.
Madison said she spent “countless hours a day” learning how to pole dance for several months, and she even took twerking classes. She put a lot of effort into these lessons because she wanted her character to seem like a seasoned dancer after witnessing other pole dancers in action and seeing how effortless they seemed.

]]>Barbaro told Glamour that Tom Cruise developed an intense training program that turned into an amazing bonding experience for the Top Gun: Maverick cast. It included 40 hours of flight training, but the swim training proved to be the most grueling part.
“Everyone did a ton of swim training in case you have to eject over water. It’s not just swimming; you get pushed off this high-rise and have to fall in the pool and unstrap your parachute…I did extra swimming because I was really nervous about that,” revealed Barbaro.
Even though the training was pretty terrifying, the breakout star also said she had a lot of fun. It helped her realize she’s an adrenaline junkie and she overcame some big fears along the way.
Some parts of the grueling flight and water survival training even proved to be easier for Barbaro than her male co-stars. Before turning to acting, she graduated from NYU’s BFA dance program and developed “high pain tolerance” that came in handy during intense flight sequences.
