Lachman opened up about appearing on Altered Carbon to Palm Springs Life. “It’s so refreshing because all of the women are such intricate, complex characters,” Lachman says. “They get to be beautiful and fierce, and they hit back.

3. She Received Good Advice

Lachman talked about her career in an interview with The Guardian. In it, she talked about the best advice she’s received. “[Neighbours stalwart] Ian Smith always said: ‘Wherever you are in the world, whatever set you end up on, don’t be scared. Just pretend you’re here.’ And I never forgot that.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Lachman shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with New Beauty. “I’ve worn eye patches on flights before, which is kind of a silly look. I used to love snail slime—that reminds me, I should get some! I think the key is drink lots of water, exercise, and sleep is so important. I never get enough. I was told to get a silk pillowcase and sleep on your back. Sadly, I can’t sleep on my back. It’s such a shame!”

5. She Does Martial Arts

Lachman likes to train in martial arts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing so. Naturally Balanced states that martial arts has a lot of benefits. “Depending on the martial art you choose, each will provide you with a wealth of lessons and experiences.

1. Cobra Kai Training

Hannah-Kim loved all the martial arts training for her role in Cobra Kai. “I have so much respect for martial arts,” she told EUPHORIA. Magazine. “The technique and body conditioning it takes to participate in any martial art is extremely demanding and requires so much discipline. We do karate and taekwondo on set, but I learned a tiny bit of wushu on the side and LOVED that.”

2. Squid Game Fan

Hannah-Kim is a huge fan of Netflix smash hit Squid Game and says she would love to be part of it. “I would compete in a real-life Squid Game for the chance to die in the series,” she told Deadline. “God, I don’t think I’ve ever been so stressed watching a show. It was brilliant. Just brilliant. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Director Hwang Dong-hyuk cooks up for season 2.”

3. Learning Stunts

Hannah-Kim loves learning how to do stunts on set. “We have a stunt gym on set where our amazing stunt coordinators Don Lee, Ken Barefield, and Tony Chung train us for our action sequences,” she told EUPHORIA. Magazine. “It’s truly my favorite place to hang out on set, and I’m always just so eager to learn as much as possible and improve my skills. I’m really flexible so I have to work on control and strength so I can be precise on camera.”

4. First Female Sensei

Hannah-Kim is proud to be the first female sensei in the Karate Kid universe. “To be honest, I didn’t stop to think about what the wider significance of being the first female sensei was until after I had wrapped,” she told Deadline. “It’s an immense honor and I thought a lot about young girls who might be inspired by Kim’s fierceness or even just young Asian girls simply seeing their faces in mine.”

5. Years Of Work To Be An Overnight Success

Hannah-Kim emphasizes how much work goes into trying to make it as an actor. “Being an ‘overnight success’ is such a charming concept and so wholly untrue in my case. I have endless respect and solidarity with actors who are out there self-taping and auditioning into what feels like oblivion because I have been in those trenches for years,” she told Deadline. “The rejection is painful and personal in a way that’s difficult to explain to someone with a conventional desk job. With acting, it’s your whole being on the line— your voice, your face, your essence, your body… so it really hurts to digest a ‘no’. You have to be vulnerable enough to try and then resilient in defeat .…it’s so masochistic and then of course, when you’re hired you feel like you’re flying.”

What do I do now?” I knew I wanted to stay active and compete in something. So, I was thinking CrossFit or body building. I actually did a couple of body building shows, but I did not like it, I did not like the diet. So, my friends happened to take me to MMA fights my freshman year of college and there was one women’s fight on the card, and I was like, “I’m doing that.” So then after that, I found a gym and started training, and it’s been 10 years now,” Kaytlin told UFC about how she got into martial arts.
