Angelina Jolie and other actors who do their own stunts because they are not afraid of anything
You see these actors doing the most complicated stunts, but when you do a little research you find out that it was all accomplished with a stuntman. They are the ones who put their lives at risk to achieve the "wow" of the audience that will give all the credit to the face they see on screen. As Quico's meme says, "Oops, so what a joke!"
But not all Hollywood actors depend on stuntmen. There are risky and adrenaline lovers who have no problem doing complicated stunts, because only then do they feel that they did the complete job. These are the most reckless actors in the film industry. Standing ovation for them!
Jackie Chan loves danger and the Guinness Book of Records guarantees it. In 2016 he granted him a new entry as the living actor with the highest number of stunts in the history of cinema, something not difficult to imagine if we consider his medical history. It is that doing the dangerous scenes Chan has broken bones, has been taken to surgery and has put his life at risk in countless opportunities.
Tom cruise
Say what you want about Cruise and Scientology. Unlike many, this actor does do his own stunts. Tom is the closest thing to an action hero, capable of climbing the Burj Khalifa for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol; hang from a plane for the sequel, Rogue Nation; doing zero-gravity scenes for The Mummy and being the only one on the team who didn't throw up; sword fighting for The Last Samurai, and flying his own jet for Top Gun, just to name a few of his exploits.
Angelina Jolie
When she's not saving the underdog, Jolie does 99% of her stunts, something confirmed by her co-stars. She did it in Salt when she had to learn to fight with Muay Thai and Krav Maga techniques. The adrenaline rush earned her a scar on her head, but Jolie didn't care and she again put herself at risk on the set of Sleeping Beauty when she was suspended from the floor to pretend she was flying.
Jason statham
There's a reason Statham keeps getting cast for action movies. In addition to his indestructible male image, the actor makes sure to do a lot of his stunts. His favorites are those of combat and those that involve moving cars.
This hobby has gotten him into trouble. By the time he was filming The Expendables 3, his car's brakes broke and the actor fell 20 meters into the Black Sea. It is not the only war wound he has.
Harrison ford
Ford may seem like a simple good actor of years past, but in his best days nothing was able to stop him. Harrison Ford did all the stunts for him during the filming of the Indiana Jones saga, for which he had to hang from helicopters and crash cars into buses. I still enjoy doing those things. I was in good shape to do it and I trained during filming to make sure there were no accidents, "commented the actor.
Ford was so risky that Vic Armstrong, his double, prevented him from doing the most dangerous sequences. The actor paid no attention to him until his friend told him that if he did not let him work, he would not be paid.
