- "Glass Onion" star Madelyn Cline said that she freaked out when she first met her famous costars.
- She told People that she met them at a party held by Daniel Craig at his villa for the cast.
"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" star Madelyn Cline said that she had a "little freakout" in a bathroom after meeting her famous costars for the first time.
Cline joined the cast of the "Knives Out" sequel alongside famous musicians and actors such as Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Edward Norton, and Dave Bautista.
The "Outer Banks" breakout star told People that she met her costars for the first time at a party hosted by Daniel Craig, the lead actor in the movie, before filming began.
"Daniel had everyone over to his villa for dinner, and it was nice because it kind of brought everyone together," Cline said. "I was nervous because I know them [as] characters that they've played, but I don't know them."
Cline added that she excused herself after becoming overwhelmed by the number of famous faces.
"I had my little freakout when I first met everyone. I had to go to the bathroom and I was like, 'You're good, you're good,'" she said. "And then from there on out it was just a good time."
Cline also told People about her journey to landing a role in the sequel, saying that she was a fan of the first "Knives Out" movie.
"I remember seeing all the notifications on my phone coming through, like Janelle Monáe's cast, Katherine Hahn's cast, and Dave Bautista," she said of the cast of the sequel. "The cast was just so stacked. I was just thinking about it as a fan — I was like, 'I can't wait to see this movie!'"
Johnson himself contacted her to say she got the part after her audition, as Cline was flying to New York.
"As we were landing and I was getting service again, Rian texts me and he says, 'Do you have a minute to chat?' I panicked so hard. I was like, 'Oh no, it's going to be bad [news],'" the actor recalled. "And so I was like, 'Yeah, in an hour.' And then I texted him back right away, I was like, 'I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. I can talk right now.'"
Cline added that she was "over the moon" when she was offered the role.
"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," which also stars Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, and Kate Hudson, premieres its limited theater run Wednesday. The movie is available to stream on Netflix on December 23.
