  In the context of the Randall-Sundrum braneworld, the minimal geometric
deformation approach (MGD) is used to generate an exact analytic interior
solution to four-dimensional effective Einstein's field equations for a
spherically symmetric compact distribution. This solution represents the
braneworld version of the well known Tolman IV solution in General Relativity.
By using this analytic solution, an exhaustive analysis of the braneworld
effects on realistic stellar interiors is developed, finding strong evidences
in favor of the hypothesis that compactness is reduced due to bulk effects on
stellar configurations.
