Ellie Taylor recently made an appearance in Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show where she disclosed her role as the villain in Paramount’s Knuckles series, scheduled for release later this year. Ellie Taylor, renowned for her stand-up comedy and recent participation in “Strictly Come Dancing,” a celebrity dance competition, shared in the interview that she embraced an action-oriented role, despite initially feeling somewhat uncomfortable with it.
The stand-up and Ted Lasso star told Mabuse that Knuckles is “totally different to anything I’ve ever done before. Doing stunts and stuff was wild. I’ve got weapons!”
A former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Taylor added that “actually, doing Strictly had been quite useful to go through a process of learning choreography and knowing that at the beginning I’ll be dreadful but by the end it’ll be acceptable.”
“Doing action scenes and when you’re dancing, when you’re doing something that you’ve not done before, you feel really silly.
“I don’t know how to shoot a gun, I’ve never done it. I’m usually at softplay with my kid, I don’t know what I’m doing. So trying to get over that and whack an imaginary kitten around the head with a gun, getting in that zone, I loved it.”
It’s worth noting that her stunt double also worked as a double for Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.
My stunt double was the same stunt double who doubles for Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman. I was so impressed by that, I felt so sorry that she had to then double for me.
