💪 Marie's Grandest Victory
Marie Mouroum embarked on her journey to badassery at age nine, when her mama enrolled her in a karate course to help her kick some butt. Bit by the martial arts bug, Mouroum kept pounding the pavement in the world of various martial arts. At 15, she became the junior world champion in the Indonesian martial art Pencak Silat. This warrior spirit eventually led her to the silver screen, where she started as an extra, eventually moving on to performing stunts. In 2012, she nabbed the coveted role of Halle Berry's stunt double in the film "Cloud Atlas". Since then, she's graced blockbusters like "The Hunger Games", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", and "No Time to Die" with her impressive skills. Nowadays, Mouroum's transitioning from stuntwork to acting, starring in films like "Black Panther", "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Endgame". 🍿
