20 Behind-The-Scenes Shots That Make Films Look Stupid

10. Rupert Grint's Stunt Double

Stunt doubles are used in films more often than you think. They're used for action sequences where big name stars (and their big name faces) can't be put at risk, they're used as stand-ins when you only see the back of an actor's head, they're used for close-ups of hands, and 99% of the nude scenes in movies use body doubles. Sorry, pervy film fans. You know porn exists, right? Most of the time they're used it's entirely flawless, filmed in such a way that you can tell the difference between a shot with the real actor and one with their double. Sometimes, they're a little more obvious. And if you get a photo of the actor and stunt double together, you realise that whoever casts the double is probably blind, because that guy on the right looks nothing like Rupert Grint!
