Movie magic takes a ton of moving parts. From the director and cinematographer to the folks who do the lighting and the costumes, making just one film takes a ton of effort and energy from hundreds of people. While actors have to memorize their lines, their stunt doubles are right by their sides during long days and long nights standing in for them when a director might need an actor’s physical presence but not their words or dialogue.

Many actors, especially those on the A-list rely heavily on their body doubles to help them bring their characters to life. They are so instrumental that many of these people have known and worked with their body doubles for years. Not only are these body doubles helpful, they often look so much like A-listers that you will probably be stunned.
