Thekla Hutyrova

Stunt stunts or superhero battles—that's the life of young Thekla Hutyrová, who lives in California but has her roots in Prague. Thekla is a Hollywood actress and stunt double. She worked on films such as Logan: Wolverine, Alita: Battle Angel, and the well-known Marvel movie Deadpool 2.

Born in Seattle and grew up in Arizona from the age of two, from childhood, she was a completely different girl from her peers—she was always closer to boys' activities.

She started taekwondo at the age of 11 and won two black belts at the ages of 15 and 17. Later, she started practicing sports karate and XMA (extreme martial arts), in which she managed to win two world titles.

In high school, she felt the desire to be an actress for the first time. She decided to continue her studies at university but did not choose acting. Following the example of her mother, who is a doctor, she preferred the medical field—psychology. However, she continued to practice martial arts as an adult, practicing sports such as jujutsu and boxing.

Thekla landed her first Hollywood role while attending a martial arts school owned by Michael Chaturantabut, also known as Mike Chat, who played one of the Power Rangers.
