His sister and Candyman actress Virginia Madsen posted a photo of them with her mom, writing partly in the caption, “He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. We’re not mourning a public figure. We’re not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart.” Sharon Stone wrote in the comments: “My sincere condolences to you and your family.”
The White Lotus actor Walton Goggins, who co-stared with Madsen in The Hateful Eight, shared photos with the actor on Instagram: “Michael Madsen… this man… this artist… this poet… this rascal…Fucking ICON…. Aura like no one else. Ain’t enough words so I’ll just say this…. I love you buddy. A H8TER forever,” he wrote.
Jennifer Tilly, Madsen’s The Getaway co-star, shared on X that he was “one of my favorite actors I ever worked with.”
Billy Baldwin wrote on X: “Fitting that Michael Madsen would pass away on 4th of July weekend. He was no firecracker… a total stick of dynamite on screen and in life. Rest easy my friend.”
