The Real-Life ‘Fall Guys’: How a Tight-Knit Stunt Team Pulled off Ryan Gosling’s Death-Defying Scenes


"The Fall Guy" stunt performers Logan Holladay, Ben Jenkin and Troy Brown share how they crafted Ryan Gosling's death-defying scenes.

Leaping from a high-flying helicopter, being engulfed in flames, and rolling a car over eight and a half times—while these heart-stopping moments may be the stuff of nightmares for most, they’re just another day on the job for the daredevil stunt performers at the heart of David Leitch’s “The Fall Guy.” Logan Holladay, who performed driving stunts (and set a Guinness world record), Ben Jenkin, who willingly got lit on fire and hit by a car, and Troy Brown, who plummeted 150 feet for an epic fall, sat down with Variety to share their experience on “The Fall Guy,” and why the film’s representation of the stunt community is so vital. I just want to say ‘thank you’ to people like David and [producer Kelly McCormick], Ryan and Emily and all the cast that are really shining such a positive spotlight on the stunt industry.
