He might not be one of the wild guys from Jackass, but Denzel Washington felt very much like it while shooting the high-speed train scenes and stunts for his starring role in Unstoppable.
The 55-year-old Oscar winner admits that the "stupid" stunts were more terrifying than simply jumping around in front of a green screen.
He tells Musicrooms.com, “I felt like we were in Jackass 4 or something, some of the things we did. I don’t care what age you are, if you fall... the ground doesn’t give you a break, like, ‘Oh he’s a bit older,’" Washington explains.
"It was stupid actually, but we did it, and it’s up there on the screen." He continues: "I think that helped create more tension actually, because people realized, ‘Oh wow, they’re really up there.’ It feels a bit more dangerous than just in front of a green screen, being computer generated.”
