UMA THURMAN
Immortalized in the successful "Kill Bill" saga, the actress demonstrated her talent for sheathing swords and practicing martial arts, skills that Thurman mastered after arduous months of training.
In a dialogue for "Time" magazine, Uma revealed the adaptation processes towards these contact sports, especially to dramatize "The Bride".
"Three styles of kung fu, two styles of sword fighting, knife throwing, knife fighting, hand-to-hand combat, Japanese language," the histrionics said.
TOM CRUISE
The world-renowned Tom Cruise could not be exempt from this list thanks to his high-risk scenes in which he does not require doubles, much less special effects.
In several of the films in which he stars, we can see Tom pilot planes, helicopters, jets and even boats, these being vehicles that he has managed to master in real life.
In addition, he is also gifted at skydiving and void jumping, a skill he demonstrated on the big screen during "Mission: Impossible-Fallout," where he jumped out of an airplane several times for the Halo jump scene.
In this sense, for the sequel "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation", Cruise also managed to master swimming and the sport of grief by submerging underwater for 6 minutes and 6 seconds, thus establishing a new record in action cinema.
MILES TELLER
Along with the mythical Tom Cruise, Miles Teller was also able to show off his exhibitionism of action in "Top Gun: Maverick", especially when he learned to fly a jet and developed his tolerance for the G force.
In addition, he managed to perfect his survival qualities, which allowed him to get out under a helicopter submerged in water blindfolded, as revealed to the "Men's Journal" medium.
“They put you in a modified helicopter, strap you to a chair, and then dunk you under water. They blindfold you, once you're under it, they start flipping the tank over and you have to show that you can perform the correct operations to get out, as calmly as possible… It feels like some kind of torture chamber to a degree,” Teller said. .
KATE WINSLET
After her role as Ronal in “Avatar 2 ″, the actress indicated that she had to interfere in long hours of filming underwater, which made her body familiar with the sport with difficulty.
In fact, it was Winslet herself who broke the underwater breathing record previously set by Cruise. In this sense, she was crowned as the brand new queen of grief in action movies, in addition to feeling proud of this "superhuman" achievement, according to what she told magazine.
“Seven minutes and 14 seconds, baby! The most amazing thing for me as a middle-aged woman was learning something not only new, but superhuman, "confessed the famous actress.
JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT
The actor portrayed the famous French acrobat Phillipe Petit in the film "Walking the Tightrope", a footage packed with suspenseful action and, of course, action scenes that required hours and hours of training.
To the surprise of many, Levitt was able to develop such samples of balance without any problem, since he had Philippe Petit himself as a coach, recognized for having walked on a cable attached between the missing "Twin Towers" in 1974.
DAVE FRANCO
"The Illusionists" is without a doubt one of the movies with the biggest special effects scene in recent memory, although Jack Wilder decided to teach himself the art of mastering cards without having to count on advances in technology. One of the highlights of this movie is that he even cut his colleague Mark Ruffalo with one of them.
“I spent hours and hours, for months, learning how to do it,” he told Business Standard.
Rooney Mara
Almost at the end is the actress Rooney Mara, who in addition to being one of the most iconic celebrities in Hollywood over the past decade, is also remembered for having learned the art of hacking.
And it is that the artist revealed that she chose to take computer lessons to carry out the task of hacking computers, computers and others, just as she did in her character as Lisbeth Salandre in "The girl with the tattooed dragon".
Angelina Jolie
The ex-wife of Brad Pitt is undoubtedly one of the celebrities with the longest career in the field of action, especially when starring in "Tomb Raider", "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" or "Salt", this being one film in which Jolie herself decided to record all the action scenes on her own.
And it is that Jolie, like other celebrities, also practiced action scenes, giving her character much more realism and her personal touch.
