While every foreign film continues to break records at the box office, in addition to the halo effect of the star in front of the camera, there is also a credit that cannot be ignored that belongs to the figure behind the star - the stand-in. Accustomed to domestic stuntmen, let's take a look at what the stand-ins of foreign stars look like!
Andrew Garfield
Between 2012 and 2014, Spider-Man, played by Andrew Garfield, played a number of action scenes with his dedicated stand-in, William Spencer. From the outside, the two seem to have been training in the same gym all along, and they look almost exactly the same size.
Jennifer lopez
You might think that the hired stand-in should not only look good, but at least match the gender of the actor, right? Then you're mistaken. Back in 2012, jennifer Lopez was shooting an MTV music for Follow the Leader, surrounded by male stunts. Despite the surprising gender, it's clear why this man was chosen, from the shape of his face to his hair, he bears a striking resemblance to this famous singer!
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is known for his fickle roles, but Captain Jack Sparrow should be one of his most famous. He has been the protagonist in five Pirates of the Caribbean films, from epic sea battles to magical escape scenes, all of which are filled with intense action scenes. Although Depp is the protagonist, most of the strenuous action may be attributed to his stunt double, Tony Angelotti. We could tell that this man must have spent a lot of time on his hair and makeup.
Dwayne Johnson
You might think that an actor like Johnson doesn't need a stand-in at all. This man is omnipotent and he can easily complete any action performance. But no one wants to take too much risk, and they have to keep a good state to continue shooting. Interestingly, Johnson's stand-in was his cousin, Tanoai Reed. You can see that there are still similarities in the family.
Chris Hemsworth
When you think of "Thor", you should think that this character must have a lot of action scenes. So far, Chris Hemsworth has played "Brother Hammer" in seven films in the Marvel Universe, and during filming, when the work was too intense, he had to rely on stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton to help with it.
Ilya Wood
The Lord of the Rings series is one of the most successful science fiction film series in history. It also includes the Hobbit trilogy, through which Elijah Wood stands out. But the special effects of his characters take a lot of time, and in order to make things easier, the crew hired a stand-in Kiran Shah, who currently holds the title of the world's smallest stuntman.
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa's most recent appearance was in the 2018 film Aquaman, which put him in the spotlight, but he couldn't complete all the stunt scenes, and the stuntman helped him a lot.
Chandler Regus
Chandler Riggs, who played Carl Grimes in the doomsday horror series The Walking Dead from 2010 to 2018, was also quite demanding of him, when he was very young and sometimes the stuntman had to help him with the shooting. However, you may not know that his stand-in is Ashley, a woman in her thirties!
Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas has been acting since the 60s, so it's not surprising to change several doubles in his career. He had plenty of time to find people he liked to work with, which is perhaps why he and stuntman Mike Runyard often appear in many movies at the same time. More recently, the two teamed up to play Hank Pym in Ant-Man and its sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp. We can see that they cooperate quite tacitly.
In tomorrow's article I can also see including Tom. Cruise, Bruce. Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and some other familiar international superstars and the style of their stand-ins, please continue to pay attention to let us grow knowledge together.
