These Behind The Scene Photos Of Actors And Their Stunt Doubles Ruin Everything
It’s hard to imagine our favorite action-packed movies without the risky car chases or hand-to-hand combat scenes. Green screens and CGI have helped advance film technology, but most of these tricks are all thanks to stunt doubles. Tom Cruise is one of the few who insists on doing all of his own stunts, but most actors don’t want to take the risk and call in some extra help.
The work that stunt doubles do doesn’t go unnoticed. Actors praise and appreciate their doubles. One actor’s double is actually his cousin. I’m not here to try and ruin the magic for anyone, but seeing these actors and actresses with their stunt doubles is freaking me out.
So You’re Saying There Are Two Ways To Get With Thor?
Stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton is well known in the stunt world for being the long-time double for Chris Hemsworth. Usually, everyone forgets about the stuntman, but Hanton has captured the attention of his 108k Instagram followers.
Anyone who looks like Thor but is an actual bad boy is bound to capture the attention of all the ladies out there.

Did Something Go Wrong With The Flux Capacitor And Make Four Martys?
We must truly be in the future because I don’t just see double, I see quadruple. It isn’t always just a stuntman who can stand in for the actor.
Here, Michael J Fox is pictured with his photo double Kevin Holloway, his stand-in Robert Bennett, and stunt double Charlie Croughwell.

Not Sure Why A WWE Wrestler Needs A Stunt Double
When WWE wrestler Dave Bautista was cast for the role of Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, we were all a bit confused. Bautista had to go to acting classes, but at least he could do all his own stunts, right?
Wrong. Even though Bautista came from the wrestling world, the directors still had Robert de Groot stand-in for his stunts.
Stunt doubles just have to look like the actors. There are no rules saying that they need to be close in age or gender.

Harrison Ford Knows Actors Should Appreciate The Help
Most actors know that they wouldn’t be as successful without the help of their doubles. Here, Harrison Ford sent his double Vic Armstrong a photo thanking him for all his hard work.
Armstrong even did a few acting scenes when Ford injured his back while filming Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Carrie Fisher And Her Double Look Like BFFs
This photo of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double sunbathing on the set of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi proves how they often become friends.
Fisher famously kills Jabba while wearing the scandalous gold bikini pictured. The directors asked if Fisher wanted her stunt double for the scene, but she was adamant she wanted to kill Jabba herself.

Chandler Riggs’ Double Is A 33-Year-Old Woman
Stunt doubles aren’t always similar in age or even gender. They just have to look alike when they’re in costume. Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl Grimes on The Walking Dead, has a stunt double who is a 23-year-old woman named Emily Brobst.
Female stunt doubles are common for younger males since most older men are too stocky for young boys who haven’t hit puberty yet.
Stunt doubles aren’t always used just for movies or T.V. Jennifer Lopez had an interesting looking double for a music video.

The Rock’s Stunt Double Is His Cousin
If being friends with your stunt double wasn’t enough, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took it a step further. The Rock’s double is his cousin, Tanoai Reed.
Reed has been The Rock’s double since 2002 on the set of The Scorpion King. Reed has admitted he likes being his cousin’s stuntman because it keeps him in great physical shape.

Ian McKellan Needed A Bit Of Help For Height
There have been stories of directors and assistants mistaking stunt doubles for the real actors, but I don’t think that would happen with Ian McKellan’s doubles.
His regular double looks more like a Hobbit than a wizard. And his other double, well, I think we know why they wouldn’t get messed up.

J-Lo’s Double Has Cheekbones That Could Kill
Stunt doubles aren’t just in movies and television. Jennifer Lopez had to use a stand-in for some scenes in a music video.
While filming the video for “Follow the Leader,” J-Lo was subbed out for a mystery male stuntman who can rock her hair and makeup.
The stuntwoman coming up shows just how undervalued the job can be.

Apparently, There Is Someone Out There As Jacked As Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t have a cousin to be his stunt double, so producers on his films have to go out and try to find someone built like him.
Arnold and his double Peter Kent, seen here on the set of Commando, is the definition of an absolute unit.

We Should Get Double The Swordfights In Game of Thrones
Brienne of Tarth and The Hound are two pretty intimidating characters, and their stunt doubles look just as scary. I wouldn’t want to cross one of them, nevermind all four at once.
This photo was taken after Brianne and The Hound’s epic fight at the end of season four.

Wonder Women
Lynda Carter was the feminist icon behind Wonder Woman in the 1970s, but it wouldn’t have been possible without her double, Jeannie Epper.
Back in 1975, Epper only received $250 a day to leap off buildings, get hit by cars, and do all the things Wonder Woman has to do to save the world.
The next actress legally needed a stunt double because she was so young, and her double doesn’t seem impressed to be working for a ten-year-old.

Quvenzhané Wallis Legally Needed A Stunt Double
Even if Quvenzhané Wallis wanted to do her own stunts on the set of Annie, it would have been a lawsuit waiting to happen since she was only ten years old. Her stunt double is noticeably older.
It must be weird to be an adult woman wearing a mini denim skirt while singing show tunes.

I Wouldn’t Want To Cross Uma Thurman Or Her Stunt Double Zoe Bell
Sometimes the actors in movies are so convincing that it’s jarring to remember that they didn’t do most of those incredible scenes. Uma Thurman is a force to be reckoned with in Kill Bill Vol 1 and Kill Bill Vol 2, but it was all the work of Zoe Bell.
Maybe I need to reevaluate all my heroes to find out if they have stunt doubles.

Any Italian 40-Year-Old From Chicago Can Look Like Marc Ruffalo
Some of these stunt doubles don’t look anything like the actors they’re portraying, but others, like Anthony Molinari, look way too close for comfort.
Molinari has been a stunt double for George Clooney and Jeremy Renner, but we all know he’s destined to follow Marc Ruffalo around forever.
According to the stuntman coming up, this actor actually asks for tips and advice to do his own stunts.

Ladies Of The Internet Love Having Two Chris Pratts
First, there were two Chris Hemsworths, and now there are two Chris Pratts. What did we do to deserve the blessing of four Chris’s?
Pratt’s stunt double Tony McFarr has been with him for Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, and Avengers: Infinity War.

Tony Angelotti Almost Died While Filming Pirates of the Caribbean
Being a stunt double isn’t all just fun and games. Johnny Depp’s double for the Pirates of the Carribean franchise almost died during a “human yo-yo” scene.
Tony Angelotti did something unusual and sued Walt Disney Co. Stunt doubles usually don’t sue, because they believe it could jeopardize future work.

Lowkey, These Loki Doubles Are Freaky
Did we just enter the Matrix? This photo of Tom Hiddleston and his stunt doubles has us doing a double take.
Apparently, Hiddleston tries to do a lot of his own stunts. He will ask the stuntmen onset what the best way to flip in the air is, or how to land on his feet.
Lowkey These Loki Doubles Are Freaky
Two Times The Little Monsters
If one Harley Quinn is hard to manage, I’m scared to think what two of them could get up to. Margot Robbie’s stunt double Ingrid Kleinig is also a double for another well-known actress, Evangeline Lily.
Kleinig subbed in for Lily in The Hobbit and Ant-Man.
Two Times The Little Monsters
Tom Hardy Has Had His Fair Share Of Stunt Doubles
To be honest, did they even need to cast Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight franchise? With the mask on, you can hardly tell it’s Hardy. And you can barely understand Bane when he talks.
To cut costs, they should have just had Hardy’s stunt double act in the entire film.

Spidey Caught Wearing Pants
You never thought you’d see the day where Spider-Man is wearing pants. Well, today is that day. Here is the swinging hero on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
We don’t know why the stunt double is wearing pants but it makes for a good conversation starter. Like, how are they going to make those pants disappear on screen?

Ben Number Two
Touch chance trying to find someone who looks like Ben Affleck other than his brother. This stunt double got the facial hair down, but he doesn’t have the same younger glow as Affleck.
This got taken in Hawaii and happens to be the fifth movie these two have worked on together.
Ben Number Two
Double Brad, Double Rad
We’re sorry to have to report who this to whoever thought Brad Pitt did his own stunts. We weren’t sure at first, but here is the proof.
He may not perform his own stunts, but he does have his own look. Hollywood might never find someone with his Pitt’s look again.
Double Brad Double Rad
Two Vamps For The Price Of One
Robert Pattinson used to be every teenage girl’s crush when the Twilight movie was popular. His glory days might be long gone but he still has a few crushes.
Judging off this picture, you might never find another crush who looks as good if Hollywood couldn’t find anyone remotely as good-looking.
Two Vamps For The Price Of One
No Magic Here
This isn’t a magic trick. This is the boy who helped Rupert Grint pull off some of the wizardly stunts Grint performed.
They have the hair down perfectly and the awkward looking half-smile. It looks like a match made in heaven. Grint probably enjoyed letting someone else run away from the giant spiders in Harry Potter.
No Magic Here
Seeing Double LaBeouf
The world probably wouldn’t be able to handle two Shia LaBeouf’s. There would be too much yelling going on for one.
He might also try and convince us that he is twice as famous as anyone that has ever lived. Just thinking about it makes for an interesting day.
Seeing Double LaBeouf
The Twilight Zone
Here is part two of seeing double of the Twilight stars. Taylor Lautner had his fair share of women fawning over him and perhaps his stunt double did too.
The two seem to appear to be really close in this image and probably developed a close friendship as the movie series grew bigger.
The Twilight Zone
Seeing Triple
When you’ve done as much as one Bruce Willis, you might need an extra double. The Die Hard actor apparently has two stunt doubles on set with him.
Maybe this is just in case the other one gets hurt attempting to do some of the stunts his movies call for.
Seeing Triple
Are Two Travolta’s Enough?
Maybe we’re missing something but shouldn’t that other John Travolta have some grey in his hair? Other than that, these two have the same body shape and look to be the same height.
We didn’t know this macho man needed a stunt double, but someone needs to do the heavy lifting.
Are Two Travolta’s Enough@
Twice The Captain
Chris Evans is one of one. He’s the perfect fit for Captain America as well, but he can’t do all of those heroic actions on his own.
Many would like to believe he can. We wonder how many stunts he actually tries on his own without the double. Marvel also wouldn’t want their star to get hur
Twice The Captain
More Magical Doubles
This looks like it got taken during the first Harry Potter movie. Maybe they chose this young lady as the stunt double thinking Ema Watson would grow into this face.
The Ronald Weasly stunt double had a more accurate look. This looks like a spell gone wrong.
More Magical Doubles
His Name Is Bond
We are all aware that James Bond performs his fair share of stunts. That’s how the man makes a living. Unless Jackie Chan became Bond, chances are the star is going to need a double.
Daniel Craig is no exception. Here he is alongside his stuntman as they look to be practicing a move.
His Name Is Bond
Big-Will Style
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Will Smith doesn’t do his own stunts. Just one of the many ways he keeps his body safe so that he can continue making great films.
He’s been in a lot of films that involve some high action, so we’re sure his doubles are paid heftily.
Big Will Style
The Last Magician
We mustn’t forget the leader of the pack. There would be no Harry Potter with Daniel Radcliffe. That means his stunt double is just as important.
Maybe when Radcliffe was younger, he did more of his own tricks. He isn’t the most athletic, so having a double is the safe move.
The Last Magician
Two Fox’s, Wow
Every young man’s dream just came true in this picture. Two Megan Fox’s for the price of one. The other even looks very similar to her.
We wonder if Fox was telling her she’ll never be as pretty as the original? You know, dishing some facts out in between takes.
Two Fox’s Wow
Zach Needs A Bigger Double
We all know Zach Efron from his High School Musical days. Back then he was a shrimp. He has now evolved into a hunky shark.
Pretty soon, he’s going to be the size of The Rock. It also looks like his stunt double is a bit bigger than he is. Probably for added effect.
Zach Needs A Bigger Double
Double De Niro
As if one Robert De Niro isn’t enough. Imagine having two of them on set! All jokes aside, De Niro needs a double to pick up a full-grown human and place him over his head.
By the look on his face, you can tell he was thankful he didn’t have to handle all the weight.
Double De Niro
From Doctor To Stunts
Patrick Dempsey was a beloved TV surgeon before he decided he wanted to leave that world. He really enjoys speed racing.
Here, you can see him in his action stance as his double looks off into the distance waiting for his time. We knew they couldn’t find another person that looked even close to Dempsey.
From Doctor To Stunts
The Falcon Needs Another
Anthony Mackie went from rap sensation in 8 Mile to Captain America’s sidekick. That’s a huge turnaround and one that calls for a double!
If even Chris Evans needs a stunt double then his buddy is sure to have one as well. Here he’s telling him not to lean too far or else he’ll fall off and have to find a new double.
The Falcon Needs Another
Wait A Minute…
We told you at the start Tom Cruise didn’t need a stunt double. He insists on doing his own tricks and flips. But there comes a time when every man must be humbled.
As people get older their bodies betray them. Cruise is not exempt to this apparently. Here he is with a rare stunt double.
Wait A Minute…
