Namita Nayyar:
What’s the biggest challenge with the makeup process for stunt work, and how do you mitigate its effects on your skin?
Aurelia Agel:
I’ve gone through some intense makeup and prosthetics, especially on Avengers 5 and Guardians of the Galaxy 3. You have to be very patient — it’s a long process, about three to four hours every morning. It’s not necessarily enjoyable, with all the glue, paint, and layers on your face, but its part of the job. Heavy makeup and sweat can clog skin, you gotta make sure you moisturize well after.
Namita Nayyar:
What motivated you to start sharing your life and expertise on social media? Was it a natural extension of your passions?
Aurelia Agel:
Social media started as a way to share my journey and connect with people inspired by strength and movement. It motivates me to share my story and training to encourage others — to show that anyone can start training whenever they decide to. I especially want to inspire women to push themselves and believe in their strength. I love sharing my passion with my followers.
Namita Nayyar:
Your content uniquely bridges the worlds of high-octane Hollywood stunts and accessible fitness. How do you decide what to share, and how do you make complex stunt or fitness concepts relatable to your audience?
Aurelia Agel:
I share a mix of stunt realism and accessible fitness tips. I simplify complex skills so anyone can feel part of the journey. I also share my boxing and kicks training because i know that this is something my followers are into.
Namita Nayyar:
The film industry can seem like a closed door to many. What is one common misconception about stunt work that you like to debunk through your content?
Aurelia Agel:
Yes, it’s a closed door to many — it’s a very unique job, and it’s nice to show people the behind-the-scenes side of it. The work of stunt performers is often in the shadows, and we don’t talk enough about them. Some risk their lives to bring action scenes to life, so it’s important to give them the recognition they deserve.
Namita Nayyar:
What is the ultimate goal or message you hope people take away from following your journey, both as a stuntwoman and a creator?
Aurelia Agel:
My ultimate message is that strength and freedom come from owning who you are — mind, body, and spirit. I want people to realize that with dedication, resilience, and self-belief, you can push past limits you never thought possible. Whether it’s in training, stunts, or everyday life, I hope to inspire others to find their own version of freedom through movement and to never be afraid of chasing what truly drives them

Namita Nayyar:
Favorite martial arts discipline?
Aurelia Agel:
My favorite martial arts disciplines are judo, taekwondo, sanda, and kickboxing. Over the years, I’ve earned several degrees: a 2nd-degree black belt in judo, a 3rd-degree black belt in karate contact, a 1st-degree black belt in taekwondo, and a 2nd-degree black belt in American boxing. These arts shaped my foundation, discipline, and versatility as a stunt performer.
Namita Nayyar:
Best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Aurelia Agel:
The best piece of advice I’ve ever received is “never drop your guard” — whether it’s in real life, in business, or in sport. And also, always chase your dreams. Some people will try to bring you down, but if you believe in yourself, that belief means everything
Namita Nayyar:
What’s next for Aurelia Agel?
Aurelia Agel:
I’m currently on holiday, so I’m using this time to train, learn new things, and focus on developing my acting skills. My goal is to get more acting roles where I can perform my own stunts — combining both worlds that I love the most.
