Celebs Whose Stunt Doubles Are As Attractive As They Are

It may come as a surprise that this monstrous man made of pure muscle doesn't do all of his own stunts. However, Dwayne Johnson does, in fact, have a sidekick. His famous, long-time stunt double, Tanoai Reed (above right), could easily pass as Johnson's clone and it goes without saying that he's an actual sexy beast. The actor has been posing as Johnson for over 20 years, putting his life on the line through intense live-action feats in films like The Rundown, Gridiron Gang, The Game Plan, Pain & Gain, plus several flicks in the Fast & Furious franchise.

If you've ever seen videos of Johnson with his adorable daughter, Jasmine, however, you know firsthand that he's a big teddy bear. Reed bragged about the gentle giant in an interview with GQ, saying, "Everything he does is from the heart, and I couldn't have asked for a better boss and partner. It's rare that an actor appreciates or even acknowledges their stunt double. It's all about their ego, but with Dwayne, he doesn't really have one." We're not crying, you are.

Those feelings are clearly mutual, since Johnson has gone above and beyond to thank Reed, including buying him a new truck. Johnson posted a video of the surprise custom gift on Instagram, gushing about Reed, who he calls his "cousin," in the caption: "Tanoai Reed has broken multiple bones, severed tendons, torn ligaments & just been an overall dominating bad a** achieving several 'Stuntman of the Year' honors ... Love you uso and thank you for the blood, sweat, tears and years."
