Madelaine Petsch has not allowed anyone to think that her producer credit was just for show.

The 31-year-old actress stars in The Strangers – Chapter 2 alongside Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath, and she recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that she had to earn her executive producer title.

“I actually did not have the credit at first,” Petsch began and confessed. 

“I was asked to be an actor in the film, and I wholeheartedly said yes. I then came on set and said, ‘Hey guys, I have some script thoughts. Would you be willing to listen to them?’” she continued. 

Petsch went on to explain, “And that ultimately became [producer] Courtney Solomon and I editing the script every day after set, going through shot lists with Renny [Harlin] and being more sewn into the fabric of the story in a producorial way. So they offered me the EP credit; it was not a vanity credit that I got.”

The Riverdale alum also noted that in Hollywood, actors are sometimes offered EP credits in place of pay. 

However, in this case, she insisted, “I got offered this credit because I was actually doing the work,” after which she signed off from the chat.

Pete Davidson just defended Pedro Pascal from online haters who believe the latter actor has started appearing “in everything” now.

During his latest appearance, on Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend, the Saturday Night Live alum opened up about the Hollywood life.

Von admitted that some elements of fame that scare him, including a cycle where people are built up and then torn down.

Davidson agreed, saying, “They can’t wait, right?” adding that he feels Pascal is the latest victim of the practice.

“F**king two years ago he’s a hardworking, great actor,” the comedian exclaimed, adding, “But everyone was like, he’s worked so hard and has been a struggling actor.”

He further clarified; “F**king blows up so f**king hard. Everyone’s like, ‘Daddy, daddy! Yeah, daddy, daddy.’”

“Then a year later, he’s, like, in everything now ‘cuz he’s hot and big and everyone’s like, ‘Go the f**k away, dude,’” Davidson said.

“It’s also just like, you got to give someone time to adjust to that new level of fame,” he explained.

Davidson also mentioned, “He’s been banging at it for 30 years and now he’s like he’s learning how to go get a cup of coffee or like deal with someone that taps you on the shoulder while you have your earbuds in and freaks you out. You got to give that guy a f**king second to, like, adjust.”

Davidson also compared this scenario to what is going to happen to Walton Goggins, predicting, from his perspective, “They’re going to do it with Walton Goggins… next,” he said.

“It’s like we build everybody up,” he said, adding, “It’s, like, so fast to turn [on the celebrity].”

To this, Von agreed and responded, “The turn is crazy” after which Pete revealed, “Bro. It’s, like, within months.”

Davidson’s comments come a few days after Pedro Pascal appeared in the trailer for the new Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu. 

A majority of Scots believe Scotland should scrap the monarchy and become a republic, according to new polling reported by The National newspaper.

The survey found that more than half of respondents support removing the British monarchy, intensifying debate over the royal family’s future in Scotland. 

The findings were quickly seized upon by anti-monarchy campaigners. 

“The royals are losing support, fast. We will abolish the monarchy,” Republic group wrote on X. 

The figures come as King Charles III continues his annual stay at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands. 

Earlier this week, his eldest son, Prince William, joined him there after official duties in northern England, according to British media.

The poll also lands during a turbulent stretch for the royal family. 

The monarchy is under renewed pressure following the leak of a 2010 email in which Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, asked disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein for financial help and an apology. 

The correspondence has resurfaced in media coverage, adding to the Windsor family’s public embarrassments.
