7 Stars You Didn't Know Performed Their Own Stunts!

Film stars don't need to put their careers at risk by performing stunts that can leave scars on their faces or injuries that may take years to heal but these 7 stars have stunned the world by their dedication to their work.

1. Nina Dobrev

Nina Dobrev is another gymnast that does her own stunts. This means handling knives, crossbows and other weapons on The Vampire Diaries.

#2

While on the set of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, Nina ran into some stunt troubles when she tweeted this pic. She says it didn't slow her down though it was a small price to pay to get to do what you love!

2. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort

Co-stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort did some of their own stunts in Divergent. That meant jumping onto moving trains and climbing to the top of a Ferris wheel!

3. Paris Berelc

Paris Berelc stars in Disney's Mighty Med. Disney made another exception for this child actor when she insisted she could do her own stunts.

#5

When you've taken gymnastics for 9 years, doing stunts like flipping in mid air must be a breeze!

4. Ian Somerhalder

The super hot Ian Somerhalder plays Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries. He does most of his own stunts on the show, including things like being thrown though a glass door!

#7

Ian's co-star Nathaniel Buzolic (who plays Kol) said things almost ended in the worst way imaginable when a stunt went wrong on set. He wouldn't reveal exactly what happened but he said that he thought for sure his career would be over!

5. Leo Horward

Leo Howard isn't just a Disney star he's a martial artist. It makes total sense that he'd do his own stunts in Disney's Kickin' It, a show about martial arts. But to be a child actor and perform them is actually pretty unheard of. Disney made an exception for Leo!

6. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart did her own stunts in Snow White and the Huntsman, which includes riding horses which she happens to have a HUGE fear of.

7. Jennifer Lawrence

When Jennifer Lawrence signed up for The Hunger Games series, we're sure she knew that would involve some serious stunts. She tackled them like a champ!

Her stunts included tree climbing! She had a gym to practice in but when it came to filming, she had to climb an actual tree.
