How Much Do Stunt Doubles Make
著者: 伊藤 翔太
Here’s a secret: stunt doubles often make more than the actors they replace—for that one day. Tom Cruise does many of his own stunts (madman). But when he uses a double, that person probably earns more in a day than you do in a month. It’s a weird, glorious salary inversion.
For a major franchise like Mission: Impossible or John Wick, a lead stunt double can earn $250,000 to $500,000 per movie. That’s for three months of bruises. Not bad for a job where “falling off a building” is in the job description.
Quirky Fact: The “No Insurance” Gamble
Want to make your jaw drop? Stunt performers often can’t get traditional life insurance. Their job is too risky. So, they rely on union agreements and personal savings. This is why they negotiate hard. If you’re jumping off a cliff, you better be paid like a CEO.
And get this: many doubles work off the books for indie films. A small movie might pay $500 for a punch that leaves you dizzy. But a big studio? They put you on a union contract. Suddenly, you’re looking at $3,000 for a single backflip. That’s the Hollywood dream.
