**He does his own stunts and I respect that quite a lot.**
Through the years plenty of actors have done their own stunts. The stunts are carefully planned, with safety measures taken. But, pretending you’ve been shot and then fall from a horse at full gallop on hard ground, that’s the real thing. Has TC ever done that?
I’ve looked at behind the scenes clips of how stunts are done. I recommend checking them out to get the real picture.
Big stars don’t do dangerous stunts because the risk of injury is too high. That’s a financial constraint, not a “movie stars are sissies” constraints. Big productions are expensive. The really big ones are bleeding hundreds of thousands of dollars a day once shooting starts. TC can break his neck for all anyone cares, except that if he breaks a leg and production has to be shut down for a couple of months, the studio takes a bath. This is why stunt doubles were invented.
