In this list we will list such daredevils who work hard and do their utmost to give us an authentic thrill. There are some veterans who have been doing their stunts since they were nobody in the industry, while others are rising stars who see the publicity factor for it.

• Jason Statham

Since then, he has attracted public attention for his portrayal of the tough and evil driver Frank Martin in the action film “The Transporter”, Jason has become one of the most popular action heroes. Not only does he have a great physique to match his action hero persona, he’s honest and direct with his fans. He believes that standing in front of a green screen and giving twisted facial expressions is nothing more than a farce, which is why he insists on doing all his stunts and fight sequences himself. He is an expert in Wing Chun Kung Fu , Karate , and Kickboxing, which helps him add another dimension to the whole action sequences in his films. Due to his persistence in doing his own stunts, he has often come dangerously close to a mishap, including a close call when a transport truck had a brake failure while filming The Expendables 3.

• Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart, in her interviews and on the publicouting, often comes across as a tomboy. Her androgynous clothing style is already a smash hit. And when it comes to performing stunts, she does them with joy and pride. Kristen is known in the industry for working extremely hard to get fit for her roles. In her short career, she’s jumped off cliffs into freezing waters, shot high-octane fight scenes, and even managed to overcome her childhood fear of riding horses for her stunts. It seems the actress is determined to build on her initial success to launch a long and prosperous career.

• Jackie Chan

If you’ve ever owned a DVD of Jackie Chan’s end credits, you would definitely have seen multiple injuries and mishaps that Jackie endures to add authenticity to his action scenes. He is so famous for his stunts that if you type “Jackie Chan Stunts” in the Google search bar you will find tons of articles listing his most popular and most dangerous stunts. He came close to death filming “Armor of God” when he fell from a tree and fractured his skull. To date, Jackie has dislocated his pelvis and fractured multiple body parts including ankles, fingers, toes, nose, both cheekbones, hips, sternum, neck and ribs. What else can we expect from an actor starring as a stuntman in the Bruce Lee films ‘Fist of Fury’ and ‘

• Christian Bale

Christian Bale is one of the most dedicated and committed actors. His decision to drop £63 for his role in psychological thriller The Machinist is well known among fans. Not content with his insane weight loss, he gained a total of 100 pounds in six months for his role as Batman. And who can forget his unforgettable, action-packed performance across all three installments of the Batman franchise? As Batman, he had to perform multiple stunts, including jumping from fast-moving cars, leaping from one building to another, engaging in brutal hand-to-hand combat, and pounding Bane. And as far as we know, he did them all with honors. Part of the reason he’s so good at these stunts is because he’s regularly pushed by his fourteen-year-old wife, Sibi Blazic,

• Josh Hutcherson

Considering that Josh was an avid sport, it’s not surprising that the young star loves to do his own stunts. He played on the high school football team, competed in a triathlon when he was 13, and is an avid football and tennis player. And he brings that competitive spirit and desire to experience the adrenaline rush to the sets of his film. Having acted primarily in action and adventure films like ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,’ Josh isn’t afraid to run, jump and get dirty for his role. To prepare for his role in “The Hunger Games,” he trained with a former Navy SEAL whom he says he wanted to kill at every training session.

• Daniel Craig

It’s not wrong to say that Daniel Craig has brought back the “edge-of-the-seat” action to the Bond franchise, which boasts a barometer of action over the years. Don’t get me wrong here, Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond hero, but he was more of a suave and smart hero than an action beast who could seriously kick bad ass. Daniel is more of that man to bet on in any kind of physical confrontation. And unlike many other Bond stars, Daniel prefers to do his own stunts. In fact, he has claimed that he loves doing them. However, it’s hard to fathom how anyone could love jumping off a multi-story building onto a bus. Maybe that’s why he’s one of the most popular action stars.

• Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is one of the few actresses who prefer to perform their own stunts. She is one of the leading female action stars, starring in blockbuster action films such as ‘Charlie’s Angels’, ‘Knight and Day’ and ‘Green Hornet’. Such recognition does not come without effort and hard work. Cameron is happy to train hard and do risky stunts for her role. She has even reported that performing stunts is an addictive experience for her. She says there are a few things in life that can give you thrills and adrenaline rushes. So the next time you watch a Cameron Diaz movie and wonder if she did that 180 degree car shoot, there’s a good chance she only got one.

• Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise has scaled the world’s tallest building, free-climbed the 2000-foot-high Colorado canyons, and performed countless other crazy and dangerous stunts for his role as Ethan Hunt in the “Mission Impossible” movies. The latest being to hang from the side of an airplane and fly at an altitude of around 5000 feet over the English countryside. Tom has said many times that doing his own stunts is part of his job and doesn’t scare him. As he says, the actor has a responsibility to bring everything to a character, both physically and emotionally. For “Mission Impossible 2015,” which will be released in late 2015, Tom also filmed a lengthy underwater scene, which he felt was even more terrifying than hanging outside the plane.

• Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has often claimed that she loves making action films. In fact, some of her biggest blockbusters like ‘Wanted’, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, ‘Salt’ and ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’ are action movies. Angelina is known for putting in hard work to get perfect stunts for her making films.For example, for her role in the high-octane action thriller Salt, she completed professional training in martial arts such as Krav Maga and Muay Thai.Her role in the film required her to jump off a moving truck, over the bridge, scale buildings and performed hand-to-hand combat. And she did it all with aplomb. Even for her last movie, Maleficent, she did all her own stunts.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger

The great old man of action movies is 66 years old and his hair has turned gray. But that doesn’t stop him from doing his own stunts, the habit or shall we say addiction he developed early in his film career. He admits that his body doesn’t recover that well from violent action sequences. But he still gets picked up and beaten up for being like that. And if you don’t like it, you should choose another branch. Arnie is soon seen as an evil cyborg in “Terminator Genisys”.
