STUNTS OF FAMOUS ACTORS AND ACTRESSES

Many Hollywood stars don’t do their stunts, but some very famous actors and actresses who do.
They take acting very seriously and want to give their audience a great film. 

Jackie Chan has been performing his stunts since the 1970s.
He started his career as a stunt double for Bruce Lee. His training in martial arts
and gymnastics helped him perform very dangerous stunts.  He has fallen from tall buildings,
roller-skated under a moving truck, jumped from a cliff onto a hot air balloon, fallen sixty feet,
and many more.  He has also broken most of the bones in his body.

Daniel Craig is another actor who does his stunts. He did most of his stunts for the James Bond movies.
In Casino Royale, Craig can be seen jumping and climbing on the metal beams and crane while chasing a man.
In Skyfall, Craig ran on top of a moving train and performed his fight scenes.

Angelina Jolie is a female actress who does most of her own stunts.  In the movie Salt,
she had to learn martial arts for the fight scenes.  She trained for two hours, four times a week.
In the end, she performed all her character’s battles.  Doing stunts can be dangerous though. 
In one scene, Jolie had to dive through an open door.  She did but hit her head on a set-piece.
She got a scar from that.  Ultimately, actors who perform their own stunts do so for their fans.
Their efforts make a movie more authentic and enjoyable for the audience.
