News this morning from the almighty WEBMASTER at FILMJUNK that Sly Stallone is hiring a body double for the 4th installment of the Rambo franchise.
After some set photos of Sylvester Stallone from the upcoming Rambo 4 (now titled John Rambo) appeared online, it sparked a lot of debate about whether or not he was physically ready to play the part. He successfully bulked up for Rocky Balboa, and although the movie did little to hide his age, it was important for Rocky to look old and past his prime in that film. However, now there are reports that the 60 year old Stallone has decided to hire a 30 year old body double to tackle some of the more physically demanding scenes in John Rambo.
I am glad they are using a body double. Very seldom can you pick them out in the movie, and it is always a pleasure when they interview body doubles on daytime tv and in gossip magazines. I would love to get a list of the most famous go-to body doubles and see if we can get interviews for the site.
Body Doubles are the T & A of the movie industry. Body Double is a T & A movie from 1984.
