I wonder how good they get paid... obviously not the same as the actors but image how boring the movies would be without them
20+ Understudies Who Live in the Shadow of Their Famous “Originals”
Everyone has probably dreamed of dividing themselves in 2 and delegating all of their hard work to their doppelgänger. Unlike us, celebrities actually have this opportunity. In difficult moments of filming, producers often replace stars with stunt doubles. They are the ones who have to do the riskiest tricks, because, in most cases, they are professional stuntmen and, in contrast to the actors, they know how to perform tricks correctly and safely.
We at Bright Side decided to introduce you to 20+ stunt doubles who help celebrities do their jobs better and who make their lives easier. And in the bonus, you will learn what happens when there is too much of an understudy.
Meet Ella Slack, she is the Queen of England’s stand-in.
For more than 30 years, this woman replaced the Queen at rehearsals of celebrations, and she didn’t receive a dime for her work, because she considered her job very honorable.
Robert Pattinson’s understudy was spotted on the set of the new Batman movie.
