1. She Auditioned to Play Cinderella
Auditioning can be one of the most stressful aspects of being an actor because no role is ever guaranteed. Bella auditioned to play the leading role in the 2015 film Cinderella.

2. She Was In A Music Video
Bella’s movie and film roles aren’t the only time she’s been in front of a camera. She’s also gotten the chance to dabble in the music industry.

3. She Likes Lava Lamps
Lava lamps are one of those things that people either love or hate. Some people see them as tacky and over the top while others admire their colors. Bella is part of the latter group. She has been quoted as saying, “I have a bit of a lava lamp fetish. They are kind of hideous, but there is something so therapeutic about them.”
4. She Collects Skulls
Bella’s love for lava lamps isn’t her only quirk. Apparently, she also has a thing for skulls and she enjoys collecting them. Bella once said, “I collect skulls; I think that a beautiful skull is a really good gift for a guy.” She didn’t go into detail about what kinds of skulls she likes or where she gets them from.
5. She Loves the Outdoors
Bella spends a lot of her time on sets and under bright lights, but that certainly isn’t the only thing she likes to do. Like everyone else, she needs a break from time to time. When Bella gets time away from work, she really enjoys spending time out in nature and hiking is one of her favorite things to do. She also enjoys taking pictures of her outdoor adventures.
6. She Is Passionate About Human Rights

Not only has Bella worked on horror projects, but she has also been a fan of them for much of her life. While talking to NME, Bella said, “I was really into it as a teenager. I loved The Craft and Scream. I loved to be scared. As I’ve gotten older, it’s more like Midsommar and Get Out”.
8. She Is Into Fashion
People in the entertainment industry usually have a close relationship with fashion due to all of the events they have to attend.
