Seeing Double!

 

Chris Hemsworth

Stunt doubles surely come in handy when it comes to performing risky scenes, but their work often goes unrecognized. Seeing some of Hollywood's biggest stars and their daredevil impersonators will make you do a double take. Thor's stunt double resembles Hemsworth so much, we can't figure out who is who. It's hard for an average guy to achieve the godly physique of Chris, but for Bobby Holland Hanton, it's supposedly a piece of cake. Or should I say sandwich?

Emilia Clarke

Mother of dragons, breaker of chains, and Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea had a double for a six-week stint when Game Of Thrones was filmed in Spain. The girl to your left is a model named Rosie Mac. Rumor has it, she didn't even audition for the part. She said, "That same day I posted a selfie on Twitter, and I was wearing long, blonde hair. A while later I was asked by one of the agencies I'm signed with to send in my body measurements, but they didn’t tell me what for.” It turned out they wanted her to replace Daenerys.



Jennifer Lopez

While filming the hit NBC show, Shades of Blue, Jennifer Lopez got to spend some quality time with a lady who looks a lot like her, Vanessa Vander Pluym. Vanessa has played as a stunt double for over ten years and has appeared in several popular shows like Charmed and True Blood. The girls previously worked together on Lopez's 2015 thriller, The Boy Next Door, and because of their great relationship, they intend to continue on this path.



Johnny Depp

Pirate of the Carribean or not, it seems Johnny Depp isn't as savage as we thought. We discovered recently that the award-winning actor isn't a fan of doing his own stunts, claiming that he "prefers they pull in for the close-up and leave that jumping about to the professionals.” This might be because of an injury Johnny faced while filming Stranger Tides, which left him wabbling for weeks. Speaking of injuries, one of Depp's most precious stunt doubles also endured a hit on the Pirates of the Carribean set, which reportedly scared the director and crew.




Brad Pitt

Although millions would pay to get even a glimpse of sexy Pitt, Brad's stunt double, Phil Ball, didn't feel the same. In fact, he claimed to be bored on the job. Phil described his experience being the body double for the movie World War Z as "strange and boring." Speaking of strange, we noticed that Phil is oddly attached to his arm hair because he tweeted while filming, “Just when I thought my day job couldn’t get any more bizarre, I’m made to shave my hands."
