Meet Hollywood’s Top-Earning Stunt Doubles

Captain Jack Sparrow is renowned for his swaying with a bottle rather than dazzling action scenes. Yet, in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, Jack faced perilous escapades with flair, thanks to Tony Angelotti. This stuntman stepped into Johnny Depp’s shoes on numerous occasions throughout the franchise.

Their bond extended beyond the workplace; they forged a lasting friendship. After filming, Depp and Angelotti would unwind in Depp’s trailer, sharing glasses of wine. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing; Angelotti endured severe injuries, including a fractured pelvis, damaged bladder, femoral artery, knee and leg injuries, and internal bleeding during a Disney feature stunt.
