Only if you try and drive like that guy in “Bullitt.”

I live in a city full of people who never heard of Steve McQueen, but try to drive like him.

Yeah, well, Bud Ekins did both those iconic stunts for Steve, but that does not detract anything from Steve. What I have read, is that McQueen would gladly do those stunts himself, but management forbade it. They even had a fit over his private time offroad fun.

Helluva guy, and I have been told very real and approachable when away from the cameras and the paparazzi. Then again, like Lee Marvin, how else would you expect a former Marine turned movie star to be? Their personalities and honor were formed long before Hollyweird got hold of them.
