Amy Schumer & Meredith Richardson
There wasn’t a lot of stunt work involved in the making of _I Feel Pretty_, starring Amy Schumer. However, for those very few scenes where a stunt was needed, Meredith Richardson was hired.
Schumer and Richardson became really good friends on set. While Schumer’s career as a comedian has evolved a lot since the movie, Richardson has also found a lot of success in her field. She has appeared in blockbusters such as _Avengers: Endgame_ and _Jurassic World._
Olivia Munn & Julia Rekaikyna
Olivia Munn played Psylocke in _X-Men: Apocalypse_. Fans were very excited to see Munn take over the role, but she didn’t do it all on her own. While she did many of her own stunts, she also had the help of Julia Rekaikyna.
Rekaikyna made $130,000 working in the popular superhero movie. She has also worked as a stunt double and actress in many other movies.
Michael B. Jordan & Aaron Toney
Michael B. Jordan was one of the breakout stars from _Black Panther_. He caught people’s eyes not only for his acting abilities, but also for his incredible shape. Stunt double Aaron Toney was there for the scenes Jordan could not do on his own.
Although he mostly worked as Jordan’s double, Toney also served as a double for late Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther himself. He has appeared in other Marvel movies as well, such as _Captain America: Civil War_.
Jean Claude Van Damme & Todd Senofonte
Many of you may think these two are related just by looking at the picture, but they are not. This is a photo of Jean Claude Van Damme and his stunt double, Todd Senofonte.
Senofonte worked with Van Damme in _Sudden Death_, for which he received a $60,000 paycheck. He has also appeared in many other action movies, such as Double Team and The Quest.
Michael Rooker & David R. Grant
We’ve seen a few Marvel actors on this list already, and it doesn’t come as a surprise since the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the most popular action franchise at the moment. For _Guardians of the Galaxy_, actor Michael Rooker had David R. Grant as his stunt double.
Thanks to his excellent work as a stuntman, Grant earned $60,000 and was also hired to work in several other Marvel movies, such as _Captain America, Thor: The Dark World_, and _Avengers: Age of Ultron_.
Margot Robbie & Ingrid Kleinig
For her role as Harley Quinn in _Suicide Squad_ and _Birds of Prey_, actress Margot Robbie had Ingrid Kleinig as her stunt double. The two have the same body type and height, so it worked perfectly. She also had other stunt doubles, but Kleinig did most of the work.
The experienced stuntwoman has appeared in many other films. For example, she was Evangeline Lilly’s stunt double in _The Hobbit_ trilogy.
Tom Cruise & Casey O’Neill
One of the many things Tom Cruise is famous for is for doing most of his stunts —emphasis on _most_. Although Cruise is not afraid to do crazy stuff for a movie, he has his limits, and that’s when Casey O’Neill comes in.
Cruise and O’Neill have worked in so many movies together that they’ve become good friends. Despite this, Cruise isn’t happy to have a stunt double, but it is ultimately the studio’s decision not to put the superstar in danger.
Sofia Vergara & Tammie Baird
Sofia Vergara is known for her impressive looks, charisma, and work as a comedy actress. Obviously, that does not include performing dangerous stunts.
So when it came time to film _Hot Pursuit_, a film that included several action sequences, despite being a comedy, she had Tammie Baird as her double. She has done stunt work for numerous movies, such as _Mr. & Mrs. Smith_, _Iron Man_, and more.
Taylor Lautner & Gabriel Nunez
Taylor Lautner rose to fame thanks to his role as Jacob in _The Twilight Saga_. After that, he went on to appear in a few action movies. As a martial artist, he is very used to doing fight scenes.
But just like Tom Cruise, Lautner is not allowed to do all his stunts, so Gabriel Nunez does them for him. Nunez made $65,000 by working with Lautner in _Tracers_.
Harrison Ford & Vic Armstrong
Harrison Ford has consistently been one of the top men in Hollywood for decades. Not only was he Han Solo in _Star Wars_, but he also brought the legendary Indiana Jones to life. Both franchises are so popular that movies are still being made to this day.
Vic Armstrong was Ford’s stuntman for the _Indiana Jones_ movies from the very beginning, and only stopped after the third movie. He was also the stunt arranger and coordinator in the films alongside his wife, Wendy Leech.
Shailene Woodley & Alicia Vela-Bailey
Shailene Woodley was the star of the _Divergent_ movies, which had a huge budget and grossed 290 million dollars at the box office. Alicia Vela-Bailey, an experienced stuntwoman, worked with her.
Vela-Bailey already had an impressive résumé before _Divergent_. She was Zoe Saldana’s double in _Avatar_ and Rosie Huntington-Whitely’s in _Transformers 3_.
Hugh Jackman & Richard Bradshaw
Speaking of the X-Men, let’s talk about the amazing Hugh Jackman. The actor has played the part of Wolverine for decades now and is in incredible shape, still doing many of his own stunts.
For the action sequences that the actor cannot perform, there is Richard Bradshaw, who just happens to be Jackman’s brother-in-law. He has done stunt work since the 1980s and has appeared in movies such as _Titanic_ and most _X-Men_ films.
Chandler Riggs & Emily Brobst
This is one of the rare occasions where an actor’s stunt double is of a different gender. During his time playing Carl in _The Walking Dead_, Chandler Riggs had Emily Brobst as his stunt double.
Although Riggs was just a child, Brobst was 29 years old when she started working in the show. This is because studios can’t have children doing stunts for obvious reasons. Luckily, they found a petite woman that could fool the audience into thinking she was Riggs.
Mark Wahlberg & Dan Mast
Mark Wahlberg has worked many different jobs: actor, model, musician, restaurant owner, etc., but has always been best known for one thing: being in shape. However, even the toughest guys in Hollywood need stunt doubles.
Dan Mast served as Wahlberg’s stunt double in _Transformers: Age of Extinction_ and earned $125,000 doing so. Although he hasn’t had a long career as of yet, he’s recognized as one of the best stuntmen in the film industry.
Chris Pratt & Tony McFarr
Of course, we have to keep talking about the fantastic stunt doubles that worked in the MCU. This time we’re talking about Chris Pratt’s stunt double for _Guardians of the Galaxy_, Tony McFarr.
Pratt is in incredible shape and can do many of his own stunts, but whenever there’s something he can’t do, McFarr steps in. For his work in the movie, he made $80,000 and got to work side by side with Pratt again in _Jurassic World_.
Dwayne Johnson & Tanoai Reed
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is one of the most recognizable people in Hollywood thanks not only to his charisma but also his physique, so finding a stunt double who looks like him can be pretty tricky. Luckily, his cousin Tanoai Reed happens to be just as athletic as he is.
Johnson and Reed have been working together since 2002’s _The Scorpion King_. Reed has also found work outside of his cousin’s movies and gets paid an estimated $100,000 per movie.
Scarlett Johansson & Helen Steinway Bailey
You’ve probably seen Scarlett Johansson play the Black Widow in several Marvel movies, and show some impressive moves. However, most of the action sequences you’ve seen were actually done by Helen Steinway Bailey.
Johansson is one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, so it is not surprising that her stunt double is also paid pretty well. Bailey earned $125,000 for her stunt work in _Avengers: Age of Ultron_.
