Travelling the world, starring in movies, and representing your country in show jumping sounds like a dream, for Lilly Aspell, it’s real life. However, it doesn’t come without a lot of hard work, commitment and determination. Lilly lets us in on her world and we can’t wait to share it with you!
Famously known for her role as a young Diana (Gal Gadot) in Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, Lilly has also starred in the Amazon prime series The Pursuit of Love, films such as Extinction and most recently Retribution with Liam Neeson. In addition to her busy acting career, Lilly has also gained many accolades in her other love, show jumping, with her participating in the 2022 Horse of the Year Show and representing Team GB in the Ponies Team at the 2023 FEI Nations Cup in Zuidwolde. Coming off a short stint working at a professional show jumping stable in Florida, Lilly shares her journey to now and what the future holds.
IN THIS EPISODE:
