Yup, she’s a knockout: Amy films her first fight scenes TOMORROW
We always suspected that despite her petite-frame, Amy Huberman is one seriously tough-cookie.
And she'll be putting that to the test tomorrow: the 35-year-old actress is filming her brand-new action flick in the capital… and things are about to get seriously feisty.
Lining up alongside an all-star Irish cast – although the gorgeous male lead is an Englishman – Amy confirmed in conversation with SHEmazing! that she will play a 'goodie' in the forthcoming feature-length film.
With a working title of The Fixer, the Dubliner added that her former rugby player husband didn't try and offer up any combat tips.
"He finds the whole thing quite funny I think," she laughed.
"I've never done an action film before," she also admitted. "It's an Irish production, though initially I didn't know I'd actually be filming here.
"I only have one fight scene – it's tomorrow – so thankfully I'm not bruised today.
"We choreographed the whole thing the other day… and I'll be fighting a fella too!"
However, Ms Huberman added with a sigh of relief: "My stunt double will take any of the major hits, which is fine by me."
The mum-of-two – who has also penned several successful novels – was on hand this afternoon to launch the third annual Bord Gáis Energy Student Theatre Awards.
She will be on the judging panel for 2016, and the accolades aim to recognise drama in primary (3rd to 6th classes) and secondary schools.
With a total of 12 categories ranging from best overall school musical to best set design, the deadline for this year’s competition is Friday January 29.
"This is a fantastic competition which recognises all the hard work and effort that students, teachers and parents are putting into schools drama around Ireland," Amy explained.
"It’s a great platform for anyone wanting to participate in the arts and I would have absolutely loved to have taken part in something like this when I was a student."
And in the meantime, Ms Huberman furthermore told SHEmazing! that Bolt, the screenplay she is penning based on her second novel I Wished For You, is very nearly finished.
"We don't have a cast just yet," she admitted, "but it will be an Irish cast and yes, I do have my dream line-up in mind!"
