Disney’s Mulan live-action remake recently hit theatres and it was filled with many action scenes that made many fans fall in love with the movie. Now the internet is falling for Mulan’s stuntwoman too!
Mulan actress Liu Yifei reportedly did 90 percent of the stunts on set and for the scenes that required stunts beyond her skill level, her stuntwoman, Liu Yaxi, took over and she’s stunning the internet!
Photos of Yaxi recently made its way to social media after she posted photos of her wearing the Mulan outfit and she captured many hearts in the process!
The stuntwoman also posted some friendly photos with Mulan star Liu Yifei where she praised the actress saying she would always be a fan and she’s proud to be her stunt double.
“Martial arts is dangerous, and it’s inevitable that a stunt double will be used ‘cos it’ll be too risky if the actors were to do everything themselves,” she previously said to defend the actress’ use of a stunt double.
“It would be too dangerous. Our occupation requires our skills to be used somewhere anyway."
"I feel that [Liu Yifei's] professionalism and serious attitude to her work is something that everyone has seen. I don't know about others, but I've learnt [from her] during the filming of Mulan."
Yaxi is credited as “Mulan Stunt Double” in the end credits and based on more photos, it looks like she also did the stunts for the witch character Xian Lang, played by Gong Li in the movie.
Netizens are in love with the stunt double, with one user saying “as expected, the stunt double for our fairy-like [Yifei] looks like a fairy as well” and some saying she could play the role of Mulan too!
