‘GINNY & GEORGIA’ STAR’S CAREER CRISIS
Sara Waisglass is shaking in her boots about her future in Hollywood. The actress, famous for playing the hyper-energetic Max Baker on Netflix’s hit Ginny & Georgia, just dropped a bombshell confession about her career anxieties. She is absolutely terrified she’s a one-trick pony. In a desperate bid to prove she has range, she’s jumping ship to Tubi for a new flick, but insiders wonder if she’s just playing the same character in a different wig.
“One of my biggest fears is that I can only play Maxine Baker,” Waisglass spilled in a candid interview. “My energy does bleed into my performances.” That is celeb code for “I play myself.” The -year-old actress admitted she was “very worried” that her new role in How to Lose a Popularity Contest would just be Max .. And looking at the script, she has every reason to be sweating.
Waisglass is playing Ellie, an uptight high school overachiever. Sound familiar? It gets worse. In a twist of cruel irony that feels like the universe mocking her, her character’s nickname in the movie is “Max.” Short for “Maxi-Pad.” You can’t make this stuff up.
“She’s literally playing Max again but on Tubi? Girl, fire your agent. We love you but the typecasting is real.”
Waisglass tried to spin it, claiming she’s been calling her Netflix character “Maxi-Pad” on set since Season , but this feels less like an inside joke and more like a career trap.
HATING HER OWN CHARACTER?
If playing a clone of her Netflix persona wasn’t bad enough, Waisglass admitted she actually hated her new character when she first read the script. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. She described Ellie as “spiky,” “sharp,” and “mean.”
“I really didn’t love her when I read the script,” she confessed. It takes a lot for an actor to admit they despised the role they signed up for. Waisglass claims she had to “dive deeper” to find the humanity in a character she instinctively recoiled from. Is this method acting, or just regret?
She insists she worked “really hard” on things like posture and tone to differentiate Ellie from Max Baker. “I was very intentional about silly things,” she claimed. We will let the audience decide if changing your posture is enough to beat the typecasting allegations.
TIKTOK STAR INVASION: LIL HUDDY ACTING DEBUT
Adding to the chaos, Waisglass is starring opposite Chase Hudson (aka Lil Huddy), the TikTok megastar with million followers. This is his first big acting gig, and usually, when influencers crossover to movies, it’s a trainwreck waiting to happen. But Waisglass is doing some heavy PR lifting for her co-star.
She claims Hudson didn’t have the typical diva attitude you’d expect from an internet celebrity. “He definitely walked in and was like, ‘I’m scared,'” she revealed. Apparently, the Hype House alum was shaking in his designer boots. Waisglass says he “attacked it head on” and “gave it his all,” but we have heard that line before about influencers trying to act.
Waisglass, who admits she loves “staring into people’s eyes” (creepy much?), says she was “in awe” of Hudson. Is this genuine praise, or is she just trying to ensure his massive fanbase tunes in to save the movie’s ratings?
BONDING OVER HATERS AND “CRINGE”
The two stars apparently bonded over one major thing: being trolled online. Waisglass and Hudson had a heart-to-heart about the vicious hate they receive on social media. Waisglass sought advice from the TikToker on how to handle the heat.
Hudson’s sage wisdom? “Embrace the cringe.”
“People are gonna say whatever they want, but you should be true to you, always,” Hudson reportedly told her. It is easy to say “embrace the cringe” when you are sitting on millions of dollars from -second dance videos. But for a serious actress trying to shed a “mean girl” image, cringe might be a career killer.
CLIFFHANGER: WILL SHE BEAT THE CURSE?
The movie hits Tubi this Friday, and the verdict is about to drop. Will Sara Waisglass finally break free from the chains of Max Baker? Or will seeing her play another high-strung teen nicknamed “Maxi-Pad” seal her fate as the eternal high school mean girl?
If this Tubi gamble fails, Waisglass might find herself stuck in the Netflix algorithm forever. Hollywood is watching, and they aren’t forgiving. One false move, and she might really be “Max” for life.
