Daniel Radcliffe talking about his old stunt double, David Holmes, who was severely injured during a stunt on the HP films
i didn’t know about this…
David’s story is actually one I haven’t seen mentioned often and it really should be:
David Holmes was Daniel’s stunt double for the first six Harry Potter movies, and he was set to be his stunt double for the final two movies, but while testing out a flying stunt (famous for being a very dangerous stunt in itself) for Deathly Hallows Part I, he was thrown against a wall, and fractured his neck. The incident left him paralysed for life from the chest down, with only limited movement within his arms and hands. Basically, he never let his disability affect his life, and he’s become an Appeal Ambassador for RNOH, the largest orthopaedic hospital in the UK, and he launched Ripple Production company with two friends who are also tetraplegic, specifically releasing several podcasts aimed at people who have suffered similar injuries and allowing them to cope.
