Haley Lu Richardson is known for playing high-energy, entertaining characters.
The 30-year-old star continued her flair for doing the unexpected at a photocall for her new movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die at the Berlin Film Festival on Friday.
Things were getting silly between Richardson and her co-stars Sam Rockwell and Michael Pena.
Then Richardson amazed the crowd and dropped a few jaws in the process as she launched into a series of agile acrobatics including a headstand and high kicks.
The actress, who previously revealed she's a super fan of The Jonas Brothers, was wearing a black blazer and black shorts, black hose and high heels while balancing on both hands with her feet in the air.
The antics didn't stop there as Richardson showcased her theatrical martial arts moves.

The film's director, Gore Verbinksi, got into the spirit with some of his own high-level kicks, but neither he nor Pena could hold a candle to Richardson, who even offered to do the splits, per Deadline.
She plays a mysterious character named Ingrid in the dystopian comedy and spends most of the two-hour, 14-minute running time in a corseted princess dress.
Rockwell plays 'a man from the future' who takes hostages at a Los Angeles diner to help him save the world from the destructive forces of AI, according to the outlet.
Verbinski noted that the energy at this event was similar to the camaraderie on set.
'They were impossible to wrangle. I’ve never had a cast that got along so well,' Verbinski said. 'It’s better than having them separated and they don't come out of the trailer… it was like, "hey guys we gotta go", and they're talking, joking, singing, it's crazy.'
Meanwhile, Richardson's romantic life hit a bump in the road not too long ago.
The White Lotus alum, who got engaged to Jane the Virgin star Brett Dier in 2018 after six years of dating, revealed in 2022 that they had called it quits two years prior.
She told People in 2023 that it has been 'amazing' to figure out that she can cope on her own.

'It was hard, but I got through it - that’s important and what matters. I was in a really long relationship. I spent a lot of life with someone, and it was very special. I thought it could be forever, but it wasn’t.
'I had thought the whole time we were together that if it wasn’t going to be forever, my life would just stop. The perspective of time to be able to be like, "Wow, I got through that," and I was capable of getting through something like that, and I’m capable of being on my own. That’s been an amazing thing to learn.'
Single life has affected all aspects of her life in the 'best way.'
'Once you do it, and once you start feeling how it’s totally affecting, in the best ways, every single aspect of your life, it becomes a part of your life,' she said, adding: 'I hope this doesn’t come across like I’m giving a TED Talk on therapy and emotional growth.’
