1. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is one of the actresses who have always liked to do their own risky scenes. We've seen her pull off all sorts of stunts, from jumping off the roof of a moving car in Wanted to swinging off cliffs in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
Although she has already evolved to become a director, we can still see her performing great physical feats, such as in the 2021 film Those Who Desire My Death, where she plays a ranger in a huge fire, or in Eternals, where she plays a legendary superhero.
2. Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves is one of the favorites of audiences, and lately, he has become famous for being the most popular anti-hero in the John Wick movie saga. But that's just a part of what he knows how to do: martial arts, motorcycle riding, horseback riding; Reeves can with everything. For example, in The Matrix Resurrections, he jumped off a 46-story building 19 times as long as the shot was perfect. “It was great,” Keanu recalled in an interview.
3. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Before being an actor, "The Rock" was a WWE wrestler. Thanks to that, he has a great fondness for physical training, which has made him a true Hollywood tough man. With one action movie after another, it's not easy to distinguish when the actor ends and where the special effects begin.
In a behind-the-scenes video of the 2021 film Red Alert, we see him run across a burning bridge toward a helicopter in midair. “It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake when you watch movies these days. But we can tell you with certainty that Dwayne Johnson is, in fact, a certified tough man," the producers commented about the incredible stunts the actor did for the film.
4. Milla Jovovich
Milla Jovovich became very popular for starring in the Resident Evil film series. In various interviews, she has confessed that she loves doing her own stunts, martial arts, and being hung from wires on sets. Although it has left some marks on her body, such as scars and a torn ligament, she will continue to do such things as long as she can.
In the 2021 film Monster Hunter, she performed several of her stunts, including one in which she was spinning around inside a car as everything exploded around her. Although she feared for her life, she is ready for the aftermath.
5. Chris Pratt
Pratt has become one of the favorites when it comes to action films: with his participation in the Jurassic World saga and Guardians of the Galaxy, he is one of the highest-grossing actors in Hollywood. But he's also become known for being active in every one of his movies, and that includes doing several of his stunts.
In the second part of Guardians, as he recounted in an interview, he lost consciousness when he was hanging in the air, they let him fall too fast and he hit his head on the ground. Fortunately, the incident was not serious and he was able to complete the sequence.
6. Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle Rodríguez is one of the best-known faces in the Fast and Furious saga. Throughout each of the 9 movies, she has accumulated so much experience doing her scenes that she has even produced a documentary called Extra Women: The Untold Story of Hollywood. There she talks about all the women who are used to putting their lives at risk and about her own experiences.
Although she doesn't perform all of her stunts, she has hit her head several times and has had bumps the size of golf balls. “It doesn't compare to the work of professional stuntwomen, who put their lives on the line just to entertain us,” she said in an interview.
