Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas has been acting since the ‘60s, so it’s unsurprising he’s needed the help of a stunt double at one time or another during his career. He’s had plenty of time to find someone who he enjoys working alongside which is perhaps why he and Mike Runyard have appeared in so many films together. Most recently, the pair teamed up to portray Hank Pym in both Ant-Man and its sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp. We can see why they get along so well.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise has made a name for himself as an action star, so a stunt double is basically a must for this actor. All those incredible sequences in the Mission Impossible films would have been tricky to pull off without a professional taking Cruise’s place. Although the star has always endeavored to do most of his own stunts, he’s no Superman. At 56 years old, Cruise can’t be afraid to ask for help from his double, especially when he risks breaking a bone… again!
