Having a passion for acting, Le Phuc Hau studied at Hong Van Drama Theater (HCMC). At that time, because she felt "weak", Hau decided to spend more time practicing at director Quoc Thinh's club. This was also the fate that brought her to the profession of a stunt actress.

"I don't know martial arts, nor am I an athlete . At first, I was determined to find a place to study and practice to help myself become stronger and improve my physical strength so that I could pursue acting. But after practicing for a few months, I had the opportunity to experience being a stuntman. Those filming trips helped me realize that this was an interesting job, and I became passionate and committed to it without realizing it," Hau shared.
Recalling the early days of training, Phuc Hau admitted that it was a big challenge. Because he was not an action specialist and had little experience, injuries were inevitable. "I had joint pain, muscle strain... to the point where I thought I couldn't walk. But then I encouraged myself that if I didn't overcome these challenges, it would be difficult to stick with the profession for a long time. For me, those were not difficulties, but lessons to help me become more steadfast in my journey as a stuntman," Hau shared.
After about 2 months of training, Phuc Hau was given the opportunity by director Quoc Thinh to perform small roles in projects. The practical experience has instilled in the young girl a love and passion for the profession. Looking back, she expressed her gratitude to her teacher - director Quoc Thinh. Hau said: "Newcomers like us are always given the opportunity to work in practice to both learn and practice skills to minimize injuries. The more experienced we are in the profession, the more advanced our teacher allows us to perform more advanced scenes."
Phuc Hau does not share much about her work with her family. Every time her relatives call to ask about her, she often explains that when filming difficult scenes, she will have protective gear, so that everyone can rest assured. In fact, the actress has experienced many injuries. For her, scratches, bruises, and head bumps are normal.

Once, Phuc Hau wore an ao dai, acting out a drowning scene in the middle of a big river. When she felt exhausted, she tried to get to shore. Unfortunately, the ao dai wrapped around her legs, making it impossible for her to swim, while the crew thought Phuc Hau was... getting into character. After a while, everyone realized something was wrong and immediately brought her to shore. "That was the scene that I will always remember," the stuntwoman confided.
Up to now, Phuc Hau has had the opportunity to participate in many films such as Anonymous, Ut Lan: Oan linh to keep cu, Lam gia voi ma, A Tourist's Guide to Love ... The female stuntwoman admits that the income of the profession is still unstable, there are months when she can film many films, but there are also times when she doesn't get any projects. However, what keeps Hau in the job of a stuntwoman is her passion. She believes: "Because of the profession, I try to overcome difficulties and complete the job well. Getting scratches and bumps on the head is painful, but it is a profession so I accept it."
Le Phuc Hau also has many concerns and expectations for the job she pursues. She hopes that the stunt profession will develop more and more, not only domestically but also internationally. She confided: "When projects are developed in terms of action, we will have more opportunities to work and upgrade our profession. From there, the cost of living for our brothers will also improve and I think more people will respect the job of a stuntman more." (continued)
