Bobby Holland HantonHe's been Chris Hemsworth's stunt double since filming "Thor: The Dark World" in 2012, and has worked in other blockbuster hits like "The Dark Knight Rises," "Inception," "Skyfall," two Harry Potter films, and the latest Mission Impossible, to name a few.
I've also doubled for Christian Bale as Batman in "The Dark Knight Rises" in 2012, and did stunts in "Inception," "Avengers: Endgame," "Skyfall," "Wonder Woman," two Harry Potter films, and more.It takes a lot of work to get onto the British Stunt Register. To get onto the BSR, you have to be considered 'elite' in six different disciplines out of a possible 12, including a martial art. Because of my background, I chose trampolining, gymnastics, and high-diving. For those three, I just took the tests and I passed pretty easily because I had done them all to a high level before.
I'm not as tall as Chris; he's 6-foot-4 and I'm 6-foot-1. So when I did "Thor: The Dark World" I put 2.5-inch lifts in my costume boots to raise me up a bit. If I'm doing something very dangerous, I take them out, but I usually wear lifts when I stunt double with him. The closure of movie theaters has been devastating, personally and professionally, because this is the industry I work in. People enjoy going to see films on the big screen. It's something that's been a tradition for my wife and I on date night — we love to go out for some sushi before seeing a film.
We train multiple times a day and while I adapt training to the character in hand, as a rule of thumb I do a lot of circuit training and plyometric training because my work is very explosive. We look after our bodies, and I eat strict meals that are high in protein, have a high intake of good fats and good carbs, with one cheat day every Sunday.One of my closest friends, Glenn Foster, has been Robert Downey Jr's stunt double for 12 years.
