Meet Madison
Being underestimated is her superpower
Madison Tevlin went viral for the first time at just 12 years old when her cover of John Legend’s All of Me blew up on YouTube.
Born and raised in Toronto Ontario, Madison is a model, host, content creator, actor and advocate. Her on-screen credits include: Mr. D, Who Do You Think I Am?, Screams From the Tower, hosting the red carpet at the Canadian Screen Awards, and her iconic role as Cosentino in the film Champions, starring Woody Harrelson, directed by Bobby Farrelly.
Madison was the first person with Down syndrome to be nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Talk Show Host.
Madison is a member of Best Buddies International, she walked the runway as part of the Knix Confidence Tour, was the Keynote speaker at the Dear Mom conference in Laguna Beach. Oh, and she also received the Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy award in 2023 from the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.
She’s co-hosted Breakfast Television and etalk, has written for Net-a-Porter and Maclean’s, and made Drew Barrymore fall in love with her when she appeared on Drew’s show.
Madison dreams big and has worked hard to make those dreams come true. She is shattering the expectations people have about Down syndrome and she’s inspiring her community and beyond to overcome obstacles in pursuit of happiness.
Madison says having Down syndrome is the least interesting thing about her.
After reading all of this, you’d probably agree.
She's an award nominated host
Not bad for someone who was told they would never amount to much
A great host is inquisitive, interested and loves people.
From red carpets to cozy couches, Madison knows how to take a straight-forward interview and turn it into something special. She has a knack for asking things that surprise and delight her guests, and she knows how to ask the questions you never knew you needed answers to.
Madison's talk show Who Do You Think I Am?, received rave reviews and led to a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Host, and a highly-coveted gig hosting the red carpet at the CSAs. Maddie was one of three reporters chosen to interview Ryan Reynolds, and her red carpet segment was the highest rated part of the CSA broadcast.
Madison hosts with great focus and curiosity, a killer combo. Whether it’s fast-paced red carpet moments with A-list celebs, or deep personal one-on-ones with someone she’s never met, Madison’s interviews keep you on the edge of your seat.
She's an actor
Not only that, she steals the spotlight
When it comes to acting, Madison is a whirlwind of charm and versatility. She's acted in drama, comedy, commercials, sitcoms and full length features.
From oh-so-sassy Cosentino in Bobby Farrelly’s CHAMPIONS, to lovable high school student Suzy in the coming-of-age comedy SCREAMS FROM THE TOWER, to one-line-wonder Ricki in MR.D, Madison shows up with a spellbinding presence.
If you're thinking she's just playing the roles of people with Down syndrome, think again. Madison’s versatility, ability to take direction and curious nature allows her to jump into any role.
She can't help it if she's a scene stealer. The spotlight just has a way of finding her.
Yes, she's a model too
But how can someone with Down syndrome... model?
They just can. And Madison isn’t just a pretty face, she’s a force to be reckoned with, on the runway and in front of the camera. Madison attended (& rocked!) Coco Rocha’s intensive modeling camp, and regularly inspires others to embrace their unique beauty.
Walking in the legendary Knix Confidence Tour, Madison’s poise and determination dazzled the runway. With an infectious energy and magnetic presence, Madison’s captured the hearts of designers, photographers and supermodels.
Madison is shattering stereotypes and redefining beauty standards. She is the definition of authenticity, and once again proves that Down syndrome is the least interesting thing about her.
She's a motivational speaker
And the doctors said she may never talk...
Boy, did Madison prove them wrong. Not only does she talk, she is a highly-engaging and sought-after public speaker. From schools to corporations, benefits to fundraisers, parties to premieres, Madison is an emcee, a keynote and inspirational speaker and she keeps people hanging on her every word.
Audiences at places like The Variety Show of Hearts, Dear Mom, Prague Film Fest, Series Fest, Over-The-Rhine Film Festival, Best Buddies, Champions Premiere, Global Down Syndrome Foundation, National Down Syndrome Society and the University of Western Ontario have been captivated by Madison’s authenticity, charm and positive outlook on life.
Madison draws audiences in by sharing her very personal story while also weaving in relatable messages of inclusivity, advocacy, determination and empowerment.
In other words, she kicks ass.
