'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' actor Zoë Bell (TheRealZoeBell) on her evolution as a stunt performer MagicHour

“Basically, I’d finished doing gymnastics when I was 15, 16, but I’d stayed training because I’d just sort of loved it, and I’d met a man by the name of Peter Bell — no relation — who it turns out was a stuntman in New Zealand,” she explained. That introduction came via her father, a doctor, who treated Bell for a minor injury and passed on his information to Zoë.

On her first stunt gig, Bell knew that she’d found her calling. “I met this group of stunt people and it was like, I had found family instantly,” she remembered. “We’re all a variety of different personalities, but whatever that mutual joy or appreciation of the work is, I’d not felt it like that before. It was, ‘Yeah, I’d like to do this forever.’”with Lucy Lawless, who set the bar for Bell in terms of professionalism, she said.

Her latest collaboration with Tarantino sees her shift gears once again. “Being a stunt co-ordinator, it was like a perspective shift,” she admitted. “It was an interesting thing for Quentin and I, too, because our relationship had always been, ‘I want this!’ and I was just, ‘Let’s do it!’ And on this one, I was like, ‘Ooh.’ I couldn’t put someone else into that position until I’d done all the checks, and I had to figure out a way to do that with him. It was like being an adult stunt person.

Bell also spoke about the influence her parents had on her life, especially her mother, and shared childhood photographs of herself and her family. “Mum and Dad would both, when I’d come home and tend to be a bit like, ‘I could have done this differently, and I wish I’d done that differently,’ they were both really vocal in [saying that] you’re where you are for a reason,” she said. “That was always Mum’s sort of thing. Not even a matter of having earned it, but just, you’ve made the decisions you have along the way, and you’ve put in the work, you have led yourself here in some way, shape, or form.
