‘I was finally feeling comfortable’: Madeleine West has an ‘infatuation’ with the coronavirus lockdown and is ‘dreading’ restrictions easing
Madeleine West has been looking at the coronavirus lockdown through rose-colored glasses.
The 39-year-old actress revealed in her 9Honey column that she developed an ‘infatuation’ with isolation after seeing her neighbours wearing costumes to take out their bins.
‘From my viewpoint, I’m yet to find a story more compelling, or a character study more rich and rewarding than observing Australia in isolation,’ she explained.

She went on to explain that she doesn’t want a ‘full return to normality’ just yet, as she’s been enjoying using coronavirus as a convenient excuse in her life.
‘I was finally feeling comfortable blaming every missed call, missed email, missed visit, missed delivery and missed deadline on the broad brushstroke excuse of COVID-19,’ she said.
Madeleine explained she was ‘dreading’ restrictions easing because she liked how compassionate people were to each other during isolation.

‘I’m concerned we will start taking for granted again those things we didn’t know we had until they were gone, like real human connection, compassion and contact,’ Madeleine wrote.
Madeleine went on to lament going back to the hair salon and spending ‘exorbitant amounts of money’ for a haircut while having to participate in ‘inane chitchat’ with her stylist.
She appeared to prefer doing a box-dye at home, which can still be purchased at the supermarket.

Last week, Madeleine shocked her fans by revealing she’s been colouring her own hair while in self-isolation.
She shared two images – showing the before and after of her home dye job – to Instagram.
In the before picture, the mother-of-six showed off her lighter brown tresses. In the second selfie, Madeline beamed as she revealed her rich chocolate-coloured mane.
She was also sporting a fresh bouncy blow dry, with her hair cascading over her shoulders in loose curls.
