There aren’t many movies that don’t include any dangerous scenes. Of course, viewers understand that not every celebrity is brave enough to ride a bike at a fast speed, jump through fire, or fight a zombie. So obviously, this becomes the job of the stunt double. But how many of them do we actually know? After all, they risk their lives in order for us to enjoy the amazing movies we see on the screen.

Stunt Doubles are amazing, as a kid I always thought it was weird that the stunt doubles didn't just become actors, but now I realize that they have no time for it and instead need to focus on training and stunting!
