Danielle Macdonald Career
Danielle Macdonald Dumplin
In June 2017, it was announced that Danielle would star as Willowdean Dickson in a movie adaptation of Julie Murphy’s YA book called “Dumplin”. Filming took place in the second half of 2017 and the Dolly Parton loving teen’s story arrived on Netflix in December 2018.
Danielle Macdonald plays Willowdean in Dumplin’. Willowdean Dickson is the daughter of a former pageant queen (Aniston), who inherits a love of Dolly Parton from her Aunt Lucy. After finding an un-submitted pageant entry form in her aunt’s name, Willowdean “Dumplin” Dickson decides to enter the competition despite feeling out of place among her pageant-ready peers.
Danielle Macdonald Bird Box
Macdonald, who plays expectant mom Olympia, especially appreciated the atmosphere Bullock created given the weight of her role. She is quite emotional in most of her scenes and she says it was nice to have that kind of reprieve and downtime on set also getting in that mindset of crying all day made her tend to get a headache.
Filming in Los Angeles allowed Macdonald to relax with friends — both furry and human — at home when she wasn’t shooting.
“When I would get offset, I would meet up with my friends or I would go cuddle with my animals,” she says. “Maybe watch some cheesy, fun show or movie, or something like that just to get me in a good headspace. Then the next day, get back into it.”
One thing Macdonald knows for sure: She’s a “big Disney fan” just like her character, who plans to name her baby after a Disney princess.

Danielle Macdonald Interview
How did you find out about Dumplin’?
Danielle Macdonald: I had read the book. I fell so in love with it. Then I found out that the script was circulating. I was like, I don’t know that they’ll ever want me, I’m a little too old for the part or not totally right. I felt like I wanted it for my teenage self—I never got that kind of movie growing up. It was kind of cathartic. I picked up the book because I was like, Is that a cartoon version of me on a book? That really startled me—it made me stop and take a picture. I was like, I need to buy this book.
What do you think teenage you would have got out of it?
That I wasn’t alone in feeling the way I felt. You just feel insecure. I didn’t have any plus-size friends, really. So there wasn’t anyone I was talking to. But then I have tiny friends that felt that way, a lot of different people that felt that way—it’s something you’re scared to talk about as a teenager because you think, Maybe I’m weird for feeling insecure. But no one is. Everyone goes through that. I think my 16-year-old self would have loved that, but also that you can just be happy and confident in who you are, and you don’t need a change to make your life great.
How do you think about confidence now?
I think confidence comes with age and experience, honestly. It’s just so hard growing up, you go through things. Especially acting—I go to a different set every couple of months and you meet an entirely new group of people that are around you 24/7. It’s not an easy situation to go into when you’re a shy person. On day one, we have people mic-ing us. There is someone getting up in your thighs, your stomach, your boobs. That’s how it works, and you’ve gotta be comfortable with that really quickly. You’ve got wardrobe stylists touching you and measuring you. You’ve got a camera right in your face and people are just around you, watching you.
In both Patti Cake$ and Dumplin’ you play characters that other people bully. How does it feel to play a character going through such challenging moments?
It would be really hard if I didn’t trust the other actor. I have to let myself go through that, and let that affect me. In order to do that, mentally, I need to feel protected before I go into it. It’s always important for me to talk to the other actors. To be fair, the other actors hate doing it. They’re like, “I hate this, it makes me so uncomfortable.” The guy calling me horrible names in Dumplin’, well, I’m also about to knee him in the balls, and he had to trust me not to do that—which I kind of accidentally once did. But he was the nicest guy. I’m not a teenager anymore.
Dolly Parton said she got you and Jennifer Aniston in the studio with her to record “Push and Pull.” What was that like?
I can’t sing. So, you know, it took me a really long time to get a take that was half decent. You think I’m kidding, but the music producer ended up stopping the backing track, coming into the room with me, and we did it line by line, because that was the only way I was getting it. It wasn’t my first time in a recording booth, but it was my first time singing and I had to sing on set to Dolly Parton.
