Who is former child star Madisyn Shipman – aka Kenzie Bell from Game Shakers? She's been performing since she was little, but her career as an adult has taken a risqué turn
Madisyn Shipman, best known for playing Kenzie Bell in
Nickelodeon's Game Shakers, rang in 2025 by ditching her child actor image and posting a video of herself in a black two-piece lingerie set and soaking herself in Champagne.
Shipman's transformation from nerdy brunette to tanned blonde bombshell may have come as a shock to those who haven't seen her since her Nickelodeon days, but the former actress has long since shed her young and innocent image.

Madisyn Shipman realised she wanted to be an actress when she heard a radio ad for a Disney commercial. Her mother was not on board because 'We live in this teeny tiny town. No, that's never gonna happen.'
But after years of convincing, Shipman's mum finally gave in, and the young talent immediately booked the first two things she auditioned for: a commercial and a role on
One Tree Hill
According to her bio on the Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ (AMTC) website, Shipman was only five years old when she joined AMTC and has been working steadily ever since. She has appeared on several television shows, movies, and commercials, and even landed a role in
Saturday Night Live as a recurring sketch player from 2009-2011. She also booked a role in the 2010 Broadway show Enron.
She's also a singer
