This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Madeleine Harris who starred as Judy Brown in Paddington, Paddington 2, and now Paddington in Peru! But what you might not know is that in the seven years between films, she transitioned her artistry from acting to tattooing.
In this episode, we dive into:
- What it was like landing the role of Judy Brown as a kid
- Growing up with Paddington and returning for the 2025 sequel
- How she became a tattoo apprentice and opened her own studio
- What tattooing has taught her about creativity, identity, and expression
- How it feels to step back into acting after years behind the tattoo needle
Madeleine’s story is a unique blend of fame, artistry, and reinvention you won’t want to miss.
