Within the historical past of superstar look-alikes, I don’t assume I’ve ever put Tom Hardy on the identical aircraft as Glen Powell. In truth, Powell is aware of he seems to be like This Is Us and Tracker star Justin Hartley (who in flip seems to be like Hallmark star Andrew Walker), and it’s been a subject of dialog for years. Tom Hardy is usually in comparison with Logan Marshall-Inexperienced (and even often Jai Courteney). Whereas Hardy and Powell don’t get the identical comparisons, I simply came upon they’ve apparently shared the identical stunt double. To be sincere, I am a little bit shocked.
Behind each nice motion film there’s an equally nice stunt double (or 5). Some time again, stunt double (and former professional Motocross racer) Cody Mackie shared a glance again at his work in Mad Max: Fury Highway, a film through which he stunt doubled for Tom Hardy. To be sincere, I don’t assume the 2 look wholly alike, however because of the magic of movie-making and a few nice costuming, the celebs aligned and a few nice stunt work was had.
This isn’t the one main film Mackie has executed work in, nonetheless, as extra lately he copped to being Glen Powell’s stunt double in final summer season’s ripping, roaring, “tornadeo”-themed film. Powell himself has talked about a number of the stunt work he did himself within the film, together with a significant Twisters scene through which a jet engine pummeled him with flying particles, however he’s not Tom Cruise (but, although Cruise is a mentor and even confirmed up on the Twisters premiere), and a few stunts have been executed by Mr. Mackie. Have a look.
Once more, I’d not say he’s a shoe-in for Powell like his personal superstar look-a-like contest was, however on this case a plaid shirt and a belt buckle does wonders. Nonetheless, it’s wild to search out out two totally different actors of two totally different ages and totally different seems to be as a complete (Hardy is 47 and Powell is 36) have the identical stunt double. It actually offers gauge of how small Hollywood really may be, in addition to how a lot work goes into making seamless merchandise on the massive display screen.
Tom Hardy and Glen Powell aren’t the one two actors Cody Mackie has stunt doubled for. He as soon as stood in for Christian Slater in We Can Be Heroes. And he was Aaron Paul’s stunt double when the actor joined the solid of Westworld. This isn’t even together with the final stunts he did for tasks like Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings and Barbie.
Subsequent up, he’s listed on a slew of tasks, together with performing as a stunt driver for the hotly anticipated Freakier Friday sequel. Please, please inform me he’s stunt doubling for Chad Michael Murray.
