Are these the worst stunt ‘doubles’ ever?
IT turns out that stunt doubles don't always look like the A-listers they are standing in for
IT'S no secret, Hollywood stars often rely on stunt doubles for action scenes.
But aren't they at least supposed to look like the A-listers they are standing in for?
While it is unrealistic to expect a dead-ringer of a doppelganger, it is at least reasonable to expect that we won't be able to tell the difference when we reach for the popcorn and watch it on the big screen.
But apparently, that is not always the case.
Here are some of the worst stunt doubles ever...
Everyone knows the face of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Literally, everyone.
So how did the producers of Pain and Gain think they were going to get away with this stunt not-so-double?
Their outfits might be matching on the set of Shades of Blue but that is where the similarity between Jennifer Lopez and her stunt double ends.
Taylor Luatner's cult of teenage girl fans will definitely be able to tell the difference between these two.
And that's before the heartthrob takes off his shirt, imagine the outcry afterwards.
Here's hoping that this stunt double was filmed at a distance in this film.
There is nothing about him that is even similar to Tom Cruise.
Mark Ruffalo on the set of Now You See Me with his stunt double.
Yes, we see you. We really do see you.
Shia LaBeouf and his stunt double on the set of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
At least the film is fast-paced enough for us not to notice the stark difference between the two.
Women everywhere love Johnny Depp.
You cannot fool a world of lusting women with this stunt doubles face.
Well, apparently you can try if you are the producers of The Tourist. More like, The Impostor.
Next to the muscles of hunky Thor star, Chris Hemsworth, this guy stands no chance.
And then there is the tattoo sleeve.
Was there literally nobody else available?
Absolutely not. This stunt double does not do Brad Pitt justice in any way.
Not a single way.
Yes, Tilda Swinton's face is unusual, that is what makes her great, but it is also what makes her hard to find a stunt double for.
But the dress? Surely it is possible for the same dress to be ordered twice?
At least Sullivan Stapleton and his stunt double have managed to master the art of awkward facial expressions.
That ought to be all that's necessary.
Yes, another Brad Pitt one.
The producers of The Counsellor could definitely have used some sound counsel before choosing this stunt double.
Credit to them, this stunt double does look quite similar to Abbie Cornish.
But that hair is a dead giveaway. Surely hair and make-up could have fixed that.
