Jackie Chan
Inspired by Buster Keaton’s awe-inducing, “do it for real” stunts, Jackie Chan started as a stuntman in Hong Kong martial arts films before they let him take the reins on movies himself.
He does his own stunts—and they don’t always work out. He’s broken his back, his neck, his nose, his ankles, his chin, his cheekbones, and his arms. At least, those are the injuries he’s bothered to list. He also has a hole in his head.
