THE ACTRESS IS NO PUSSYCAT IN NICOLE KIDMAN'S LATEST SERIES, SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS

- 

Your character Cruz is such a badass. What kind of training did you do?

They put me through a lot of training. I was just a yoga girl before this, so I completely transformed. I went to a gym in LA called Unbreakable and they taught me some great hand-to-hand combat and they started my strength training … I was wrestling fully grown men by the time I was done.

How long did you prepare for? 

About three months. It was incredible. By the time I was done, I was feeling pretty invincible. 

Can you talk about working with Nicole Kidman?
