10 Actors Who Refused To Use Stunt Doubles For Epic Fight Scenes
10. Charlie's Angels (2019) - Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart’s resume certainly is not skewed towards the action genre. She is known for roles in flicks like Panic Room, and the Twilight franchise. She did dabble in action whilst making American Ultra, but even Stewart admitted her fellow lead actor Jesse Eisenberg did most of the fighting and training for the 2015 film - though she would have liked to do more.
When Stewart landed the role of Sabina Wilson in Charlie’s Angels, the American actress got her opportunity for more action. She began preparations months in advance, boxing and sparring on a regular basis and had extensive weapons and fighting training before shooting started.
Her training is evident from the first scene of the movie. Sabina, Stewart's character, is seen seducing a criminal threat. She then reveals her true intentions when her backup arrives, demonstrating agility and accurate striking to neutralise the target.
