Winning the Madonna Bootcamp Pays Off for Julia Garner

As a film enthusiast who has long admired Madonna’s iconic status both as a pop culture phenomenon and a groundbreaking artist, I can only imagine the elation that Julia Garner must be feeling right now. The Madonna Bootcamp experience is legendary in the drag queen community, and to have not only made it through but also been chosen as the winner, only to have the project seemingly slip away, must have been devastating.


Participating in Madonna Bootcamp is an unforgettable experience, coveted by drag queens nationwide. However, the title of “winner” eluded one lucky participant – until now. Julia Garner, victor of Madonna Bootcamp 2022, will finally receive her reward. The Madonna biopic, which was previously halted, is set to resume production and Garner has been confirmed as the lead actress, according to Entertainment Weekly. In early July, Madonna shared images on Instagram of herself with a typewriter, revealing the script title “Who’s That Girl?” Garner initially secured the role in 2022, competing against several other actresses such as Florence Pugh and Alexa Demie who also underwent an intense bootcamp process.
