Well, watching your favorite actors riding down the highways and frisking through narrow alleys just seem so fascinating. Just like we know that these heart throbbing stunts are performed under high professional supervision, not all the stunts you see on screen are performed by their doubles. Well, some actors are daredevils too and don’t fear to attempt their own stunts. They do break into a cold sweat but like to do their own stunts in their films. Here are the top seven actors who do so.
1. Jackie Chan
Well, we don’t need a description here. As much as his action scenes cause adrenaline rush, the actor moves an extra mile to perform his own stunts. We often like to see his karate moves, speedy hand movements, and jump kicks. With so much risk, the actor has broken almost every bone in his body.
2. Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig, better dubbed as James Bond, always opted to do his own stunts in the film. In one of the scenes of the 2006 film James Bond, Craig chases a guy into a building and battles him above 200 feet from the ground.
“It was important to me that I do as many of my own stunts as possible for authenticity,” he has said. “I wanted to be seen jumping from crane to crane, physically exerting myself. I didn’t get the fit just to take my shirt off,” he said in a report by Telegraph.
3. Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is the one the actors with in-the-face attitude with a willingness to do his own stunts. If you have seen his Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, then you to believe the stunt in the movie on Burj Khalifa was done by him.
4. Christian Bale
Without Christian Bale, the Batman character would not have come out well and we believe is the best suited for the role. Well, you might not be aware of him that he actually learned martial art Keysi to do fighting shoot in Batman Begins.
5. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Being from a rising athlete to our favorite Terminator, Schwarzenegger proved his acting skills and his ability to perform his own stunts.
6. Angelina Jolie
Well, Mrs. Smith has never been afraid to get dirty while shooting. In her 2010 film, Salt, the actress used no doubles and rather decided to do her own stunts.
7. Jason Statham
His badass action flicks and fearlessness to opt not to use body doubles make the production of his films easy, but “not that easy”. In 2002 Transporter, the actor did all his stunts from driving the car to fight scenes. And he still does with full energy.
