I took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It's ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.
I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about. I just stand there and sing. And I don't do stunts or anything. if I wanted to do all that, I don't think I'd get away with it.
It looks better when you do your own stunts, because seeing somebody's face when they're doing them is fun for the audience.
I don't see the risk, I enjoy performing stunts, and I don't get scared.
I love doing stunts, though I have to be careful with my back. As for dances, somehow I am uncomfortable doing them. I lack grace.
I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action; I'm a guy who does my own stunts on screen.
I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode; I'm present at all pyrotechnical rehearsals; and I walk through everything step-by-step. No man should put their life in someone else's hands unless they have covered their own safety from all angles.
I do have a stunt double because there are certain things that they won't let me do. Like they won't set fire to me. They won't like let me jump off a 20 story building. There are certain big stunts that it's just impossible to get insurance to let me do, but for the most part I'd say I do probably 75% of my stuff.
I just have to say no to some of the stunts that I love doing so much. I enjoy doing that stuff, but I've learned to let the stuntmen do those.
When I was doing a movie called 'The Seeker,' I was fortunate enough to be able to do a lot of my own stunts.
