The likes of Jackie Chan and Van Damme may have real ability in terms of stunts and fight scenes, but they have fuck all presence on screen compared to the deity that is Clint Eastwood
 
^Bullshit. Clint's a pussy. Jackie is a god of badassary.


If they were badasses they wouldn't be actors... unless your name is Christopher Lee. He's both a badass and an awesome actor.

Meh, valid excuse. Just because you're a bad ass doesn't mean you have to be inconsiderate.



Anyway, everyone on this thread is wrong.

Does your favorite bad ass actor do all of his own stunts? Even if that involves jumping off a flying helicopter? Did any of them break a leg on a stunt and went back to filming on the same day? I didn't think so.

Some trivia about this badass man from IMDB:

During The Last of the Mohicans (1992) he built a canoe, learned to track and skin animals, and perfected the use of a 12-pound flintlock gun, which he took everywhere he went, even to a Christmas dinner.

According to Gangs of New York (2002) co-star John C. Reilly, he got sick during shooting in Italy, refusing to trade his character's threadbare coat for a warmer coat because the warmer coat did not exist in the 19th century; doctors finally forced him to take antibiotics.

In the Name of the Father: He slept in an abandoned jail and ate only prison rations.

The Boxer (1997): DDL crudely tattooed his hands and trained as a real fighter, twice a day, seven days a week, for nearly three years. His trainer -– the former world boxing champion Barry McGuigan -– remarked that he could have turned professional.

The Crucible (1996): He lived in the film set's replica village without electricity or running water and built his character's house with 17th-century tools.

Ava Gardner once said of her ex-husband, "He only weighs 120, but 100 pounds is cock."

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
If we're going by insane transformations, Jared Leto did this for a movie ...

Yeah it looks like if he really wanted to, he's got some potential to get relatively big.

Fucking miracle genes. Actually speaking of genes, think about this:



  • Look at him. Might as well be a model
  • Dude's 40. He's basically Keanu Reeves level of not aging
  • He was able to pack on nearly 70 lbs for a role with his frame, and then not only shed the weight ... but he's now arguably more ripped than he ever was. This was done in his mid-late 30's
  • He's a successful actor, and not particularly bad at it either
  • He's a rock star. And whether you like his music or not, he's pretty talented. He's got a good vocal range and can scream like a mother fucker. If you think it's all studio, check out their MTV Unplugged EP. Also what many people don't realize is he basically pulled a Trent Reznor on the first album. Back then it was just him and his brother Shannon. Shannon played drums, and Jerod did everything else (singing, guitar, bass, and keyboards).
  • Because of the above two, dude is rich
  • Porn star Corina Taylor who he dated for a bit stated, "I’ve been a porn actress for three years, and Jared was the most I ever had to work with. There’s definitely a second career available for him if he ever runs out of mainstream work."
