Behind every great actor and actress who has ever filmed an adventure movie stands a stunt double, women and men with magical powers to make jumping out of a building, from vehicle to vehicle, or fight scenes like the one in Kill Bill look like a walk in the park.
No wonder these stunt doubles have long production careers as part of a star actor's "support crew," as they become quintessential in leading movie roles for years upon years. The fun thing is, being a double, they genuinely have to look like one.
So Bored Panda has compiled a curious compilation of famous movie stars standing side by side with their stunt doubles, looking like twins ready to conquer the big screen. And most of them already have!
So scroll down, upvote your favorite pairs and be sure to hit part 1 of this post with more actors captured on camera with their body doubles to prove that our lives have been a well-directed lie.
