Early life

Madelaine Grobbelaar Petsch was born on August 18, 1994, in the small city of port-Orchard, Washington State, USA. The girl’s parents are from South Africa, for that reason she spent the first ten years of her life dividing between two countries. Her parents always were very eco-friendly persons, so they taught Madelaine how to divide wastes and reduce less of them. 'It’s crazy to me that people still use plastic utensils', she said.

At school, Madelaine was bullied by agemates because of her red hair (she and her brother were the only one «gingers» in town). Also, the other children were irritated with her South-African accent and not referring to any religion.
I was the strangest kid in town, other children often laughed at me. My brother defended me throwing stones at my offenders
At the age of three, Petsch started dancing; being five she went to the theatrical studio, after that she entered an art school. Graduated from school the girl moved to Los-Angeles and started her acting career. She worked part-time as a barista to ensure her life in the big city.

Personal life of Madelaine Petsch

I felt much healthier. There was no any atony due to lack of milk or eggs in the diet.

Her ex-boyfriend has lots of tattoos that Petsch really likes, but all in all, she is unkind to tattoos: “Firstly, I am a head-scratcher, secondly, I love when everything is neat and tidy. I am sure that if I made a tattoo, I would regret it the next day.”

Do fans often doubt if these plump lips, bright ginger hair, and thick eyelashes are real? The girl responded furiously during the “Cosmopolitan” interview: “Everything is real! Lips, ginger hair, even ass!”
