Double Trouble: These Celebrity Stunt Doubles Will Trick Your Eye And Make You Double-Take

Do you love how your favorite superstars do their action stunts? Seeing Daniel Craig’s action-packed scenes in the James Bond movie series surely put you in awe. What about your fan-favorite superheroes’ death-defying stunts? It’s the coolest thing, right?
If you believe your favorite stars do these intense routines themselves, think again. Celebrities usually have a body double or stunt double to do these action scenes without sweat, so these unsung heroes are the ones who truly deserve your credit.

Stunt doubles for celebrities are all professionals who are well-trained and fit to do these monstrous sequences. They film the most dangerous events, like jumping from one building to another, falling from a great height, complicated martial arts, or other sophisticated stunts, like intense fighting scenes.

They, too, should have the spitting image of the stars they are trying to imitate. If you ask us, we think finding the perfect stunt double is an art form in itself because one has to make sure that they perfectly fit their assigned celebrity’s appearance from head to toe. Mind you; not everyone will be up for such a risky challenge!

Are you wondering who among your beloved Hollywood stars have stunt doubles? Check this list, and be ready to see double trouble as their similarities will trick your eyes and make you do double-take!

Daniel Radcliffe | Harry Potter series

Geminio! If aimed at Harry Potter and with the appropriate hand flick, this charm should create the Boy Who Lived’s exact replica— or you can also just make use of a stunt double. In this case, it has been David Holmes. He has been the longtime action partner of Daniel Radcliffe over the years that he has been a star of the Harry Potter franchise. Holmes has also journeyed with those who waited for the whole saga to its completion.

It was sad though, that Holmes met an accident in 2009 during the filming of the last chapter, effectively ending his stuntman career. He deserves all the thanks and credit for the excellent work he did so far for the Harry Potter actor. On the bright side, Holmes and Radcliffe have developed a strong friendship and have started a new podcast they called Cunning Stunts, wherein they interview stunt performers around the globe to shed light on the industry.
