In this episode of When I Grow Up, Sienna and her Dad Ben chat with one of New Zealand’s most fearless exports - Hollywood stuntwoman, actor, and director Zoë Bell.

She’s doubled for some of the biggest stars and pulled off jaw-dropping stunts in Kill Bill, Thor, Catwoman, and Iron Man 3 - all while working with legends like Quentin Tarantino, Lucy Lawless, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

But behind all the action is a down-to-earth Kiwi who’s worked hard, taken risks, and kept getting back up - even after breaking her back!This conversation covers:

• Growing up in New Zealand and discovering her adventurous streak early
• Landing her first stunt job in a totally unexpected way
• Making the leap from Xena: Warrior Princess to Hollywood
• Being Uma Thurman’s stunt double in Kill Bill and how working with Quentin Tarantino changed her life
• Facing her fears on her most dangerous stunts and bouncing back from serious injuries
• The viral lockdown fight video that brought female actors together
• An embarrassing moment while directing Brad Pitt
• What she’d tell her teenage self - and advice for young girls chasing big dreams

This episode is packed with laughs and wild stories as Zoë proves that with courage and a bit of Kiwi grit, you can literally leap into your dreams.
