Seeing These Actors With Their Stunt Doubles Really Ruins Everything

We’re all asked to do a lot in our everyday jobs, and I think most of us would love to have a stunt double. Think about it. If you have to sit through yet another boring meeting that should have been an email, wouldn’t it be nice to sub in a double to take on that role?

Well, actors have that option. Sure, it’s nice to see some actors doing their own stunts, but sometimes it’s just too dangerous. These stunt doubles deserve a ton of credit for all that they do, but seeing them next to the stars of our favorite movies kind of ruins everything.

Double Brad, Double Rad

If you thought Brad did his own stunts, we’re sorry to break this to you. We weren’t sure at first, but here is the proof.

He may not perform his own stunts, but he does have his own signature look. Hollywood might never find someone with his Pitt’s look again.

Seeing Double LaBeouf

The world probably wouldn’t be able to handle two Shia LaBeouf’s. There would be too much motivational yelling going on.

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.

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.

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.

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 110,000 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.

The 33-year-old stuntman started his career at just four-years-old…sort of. This is when he became a gymnast — something which surely gave him a foundation for the death-defying stunts he pulls off.

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.

Fox and Croughwell have been friends for years and have even starred in films together. Besides Back to the Future, Croughwell has made appearances in Light of Day, The Secret of My Succe$s, Bright Lights, Big City, The Hard Way, and many other of Fox’s films.

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.

Coming up, 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.

Armstrong’s resume goes beyond the traditional stunt double. He set a Guinness Book record for being the world’s most prolific stuntman! In addition to being a stunt double, he also works of a director, stunt coordinator, and second unit director.

Carrie Fisher And Her Double Look Like BFFs

This photo of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double, Tracey Eddon, 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.

Eddon is a British stuntwoman who started her career in the early ’80s in An American Werewolf. As of 2016, she is still working, most recently in Doctor Strange.

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.

Since he began working as a stunt double nearly two decades ago, Reed has built himself an impressive filmography. He’s been in more than 30 films!

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.

Despite their differences, McKellan’s stunt doubles make it work. They are used in the majority of running and sword fighting scenes through The Hobbit.

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 two look amazingly similar in this behind-the-scenes photo, each rocking tight black leggings and matching black jackets.

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.

Kent is widely regarded as one of the best stuntmen of all time. I guess when you are the one chosen to perform the stunts deemed too dangerous for Arnold Schwarzenegger, you rightfully get bragging rights!

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.

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

Tough 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 young glow as Affleck.

This was taken in Hawaii, and happens to be the fifth movie these two have worked on together.

Two Vamps For The Price Of One

Robert Pattinson used to be every teenage girl’s crush when the Twilight movies were popular. His glory days may be long gone, but he still has a few crushes.

Judging from this picture, you might never find another crush who looks as good. I guess that’s why they have stunt doubles so that the actors don’t ruin their good looks.

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 totally nailed the hair and the awkward 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.

More Magical Doubles

This looks like it was taken during the first Harry Potter movie. Maybe they chose this young lady as the stunt double thinking Emma Watson would grow into this face.

The Ron Weasley stunt double had a more accurate look. This looks like a spell gone wrong.

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 we bet his stunt double did too.

The two seem to appear to be really close in this image and probably developed a true friendship as the movie series grew bigger.

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.

This might be just in case one gets hurt attempting to do some of the stunts, the other will step in to save Bruce.

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.

Twice The Captain

Chris Evans is one of a kind. 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 hurt.

His Name Is Bond

James Bond is quite the fictional stuntman, but in real life, Daniel Craig needs a bit of help. 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.

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 quite a hefty sum.

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.

Radcliffe actually worked with one stuntman for years until that stuntman was paralyzed on set. Radcliffe and the injured stuntman are still good friends to this day, and Radcliffe does not take the sacrifice lightly.

Two Foxy Foxs

Every young man’s dream just came true in this picture. Two Meghan Fox’s for the price of one. Both women are beautiful in their own way

We wonder if Fox was telling her double the secrets of the acting business. You know, dishing some facts out in between takes.

Zac Needs A Bigger Double

We all know Zac 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.

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.

From Doctor To Stunts

Patrick Dempsey was a beloved TV surgeon before he decided he wanted to leave that world. Now 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 nearly as McDreamy.

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 is probably telling him not to lean too far or else he’ll fall off and have to find a new double.

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 from this apparently. Here he is with a rare stunt double.
