You know what it's like when you're in the supermarket doing your grocery shopping and somebody comes up to you and says "Hey, aren't you a major international movie megastar?" No? Well, me neither, but I'm pretty sure the people below have found themselves in this awkward situation once or twice. They are after all the official body doubles for famous actors, and as you can see from this list compiled by Bored Panda, some of them could easily pass for the real deal.
These stuntmen and stuntwomen aren't known for their abilities to portray famous actors though, but rather by their amazing behind-the-scenes skills. Those might include but not be limited to exceptional knowledge of martial arts, high climbing, free falling, trick driving, horseback riding, and many other things that the movie stars cannot do themselves or don't want to get involved in such risky activities. And though stunt doubles undergo a rigorous training before appearing in any of the famous movies, traumas and even fatalities can happen on the set.
