Hollywood actor Glen Powell has shared the reason behind performing daredevil stunts in his movies. The actor said that he does the stunts all by himself so people get value for their cinema ticket.
The 37-year-old actor does not want audiences to have an empty feeling when they learn the stunt sequences were done on a green screen, via computer-generated imagery (CGI), reports ‘Female First UK’.
Glen told the ‘Saturday Guardian’ magazine, “It really sells it because if the audience know that you are in peril, there is an inherent investment. I believe you have to give the audience their value in the ticket. If people are actively going to the (cinema), getting a babysitter, maybe doing dinner, you’ve got to justify that ticket price”.
He went on, “And that’s what Tom (Cruise) always talks about, you have to have skin on the line. If they’re showing up for you, you’ve got to show up for them”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Glen performs “non-stop, bad a**” stunts in his new movie, ‘The Running Man’, and audiences will see his “authentic” reactions to the sequences in the dystopian thriller.
The actor plays Ben Richards in the film, which is set in a titular game show, and pits contestants, “runners” against a team of murderous Hunters, who attempt to locate and kill them. If a runner stays alive for 30 days, they bag $1 billion. (IANS)
