Can YOU guess the film star from their stunt double? Big and small screen actors with their daredevil lookalikes
Stunt doubles are often the un-sung stars of Hollywood as they put their bodies and lives on the line in dangerous situations.
In January, pregnant Kaley Cuoco’s body double even went to the lengths of sporting a matching prosthetic belly.

Stunt doubles can make anywhere from £8,500 to £216,000 a year, with the average salary at around £38,762.
Only a select few at the very top of the industry earn a six figure annual income.

There is also a great deal of pressure on stunt people to deliver the goods in one take.
On huge set piece film sets with an explosion or chase sequence, stunt doubles don’t have the luxury of having many takes to play with unlike actors in a simple dialogue scene.
Especially when there is a lot of money being spent on stunts, it can make the environment highly pressurised.
On top of that, continuing to ask a stunt double to re-shoot a scene can increase the risk factor dramatically.
