Brec Bassinger Dishes On Stunt Training For 'DC's Stargirl'

Brec Bassinger is opening up about the intense training she had to go through for her role as DC’s Stargirl!

The 20-year-old actress stars as the title character in the upcoming series, which premieres next week.

“I did have a background in gymnastics, as well as competitive cheerleading,” she told ComingSoon.net. “I went down to Atlanta, where we were filming, two weeks early, kind of for a ‘stunt training’ camp. We would split up the days between gymnastics, bow staff training and then combat training.

“The combat training and the gymnastics training, they were like, ‘Okay, you’re pretty good at that.’ The bow staff training on the other hand, I was NOT familiar with,” Brec continued. “It’s six feet tall, so it’s a lot taller than me. I’m only 5’2″ on a good day. We focused a lot on that, especially ’cause Courtney uses the staff primarily. My stunt double Kristina, she was absolutely amazing though, so I have to give a lot of props to her.”

Tune in to the series premiere of DC’s Stargirl on Tuesday (May 19) at 8/7c on The CW!
