Hollywood actress Alexandra Daddario has candidly shared the unique challenges she faced while filming the second season of the supernatural horror series Mayfair Witches during her pregnancy.

The star, best known for her roles in The White Lotus and Percy Jackson, revealed the physical and emotional toll of portraying her character, Rowan Fielding, under the sweltering conditions of New Orleans, all while expecting her first child.

The second season of the AMC thriller was shot in the intense heat and humidity of the Louisiana city, a setting that added an extra layer of difficulty for the expectant mother. “You worry about everything,” Daddario admitted in a recent interview.

“There were some horror scenes where I was like, ‘I don’t know if I should let myself get worked up emotionally because the baby will feel it in my belly!’” she recalled with a laugh.

Despite the challenges, Daddario powered through, delivering a compelling performance while navigating the complexities of pregnancy.

In October 2024, Daddario and her husband, producer Andrew Form, welcomed their first child, a baby boy.

Now embracing motherhood, the 38-year-old actress has found a new rhythm to her life, balancing her career with the joys and demands of raising a child.

“Oh, I’m so anonymous,” she joked about her newfound privacy, splitting her time between the east and west coasts.

However, she admitted that being recognized in public or caught by paparazzi can still catch her off guard. “Sometimes something will take me by surprise that feels like an invasion of privacy. But only because I’m not prepared for it!” she said with a smile.

During a recent appearance at New York Fashion Week, where she spoke with People magazine, Daddario reflected on how motherhood has transformed her life.

The actress revealed that she was only attending one fashion show this season, as her baby was waiting at home.

“Fashion Week is a breeze compared to a hungry little baby,” she quipped, highlighting the shift in her priorities.

Describing motherhood as “wonderful,” Daddario expressed immense gratitude for her experience so far. “I’m very lucky. He’s a great baby,” she shared, beaming with pride.

She also spoke about the profound joy her son has brought into her life, encouraging others who are considering parenthood.

“He’s just brought so much joy and peace into my life, so I recommend it to anyone who wants a kid,” she said.

Daddario’s ability to juggle her demanding career with the responsibilities of motherhood is a testament to her resilience and dedication.

Filming Mayfair Witches while pregnant was no small feat, but the actress delivered a powerful performance despite the physical and emotional hurdles.

Her portrayal of Rowan Fielding continues to captivate audiences, proving that her talent knows no bounds.

As she navigates this new chapter, Daddario remains grounded and focused on what matters most. “Life has changed in the best way possible,” she shared. “I’m learning to embrace every moment, whether it’s on set or at home with my family.”

With her son bringing newfound joy and purpose to her life, Alexandra Daddario is thriving both personally and professionally.

Fans of Mayfair Witches can look forward to seeing her return to the screen, while those following her journey as a mother can expect more heartfelt reflections from the star as she continues to embrace this transformative phase of her life.
