The petite actress believes she has the physical attributes needed to take on the gruelling demands of action stunts and has the ability to "climb anything".
She said: "I have really strong legs. I inherited them from my dad, who has tree stumps for legs, basically. I've got big calves that look good. When I wear heels, it looks like I've worked out my legs a lot, which is why I love them. I also have a big, big big toe. I call it my goat toe. I can climb anything."
