Ever been mistaken for a Hollywood A-lister while picking up some avocados at your local grocery store? No? Well, neither have we.
But the folks we’re about to introduce you to? They’ve probably had to explain more than once that, no, they’re not actually Scarlett Johansson or Chris Hemsworth. They’re the next best thing, though — their official body doubles and stunt doubles!
Here we are with a compilation of moments when Hollywood has fooled us. These talented individuals may not walk the red carpet, but they have impressive behind-the-scenes skills that make our favorite movie moments possible. From high-stakes action sequences to nuanced scenes that the stars would rather not tackle, these professionals are there to fill in the gaps, sometimes putting their well-being on the line in the process.
Feel free to give us your two cents in the comments below, and keep scrolling to see just how Hollywood manages to dupe us time and again!
