  2. I was listening to an interview with a stuntman and he that that when an actor does their own stunts, it means that some nameless stuntman did that same stunt dozens of times behind the scenes to ensure that the crew can set everything up just right so the actor can pull it off safely.

  3. So…. stuntmen should be paid 100x more than actors? Just like underwater welders are paid more than scuba divers

  4. Tom Cruise just shot up in bed like the Undertaker

  5. Yeah no worries mate, give me a high paying acting job and I’ll let the stuntmen do the action work.

  7. My dude looks like Wolfman Jack these days. Kinda sick.

  8. “Instead, let someone else who makes significantly less than you break their bodies so you don’t have to!”

  9. If I remember correctly there is a stunt in Rambo First Blood where a stuntman broke his back and was paralyzed.

  10. Because if an actor gets hurt, the set gets shut down for some time, and the hundreds of people behind the scenes working day in day out have to stop as well.

  12. Okay, got it, won’t don’t my own stunts anymore and will find a professional

  14. *entire stunt person community gestures* “No shit dude”

  16. let the totally forgettable stunt guys get the paralysing back injuries for you

  17. Yikes, Sly! I had *one* back surgery and that was one too many.

    On a shallow note: Imagine being rich enough to afford SEVEN back surgeries.

  18. Yeah, let the “expendable” stunt people do the stunts for me and I get all the credit and the fat paycheck!

  19. I’m sure some of it too might be him carrying that muscle mass at his age. 77 year old men shouldn’t look that jacked.

  21. I worked on pickups for the first Expendables and saw Slu absolutely lose his SHIT on a stuntman that kept hitting him too high on a clothesline.
