While plenty of celebrities do their own stunts, the Movie People™ aren't fooling anyone when they show, say, Betty White doing a series of backflips, then cutting away to a closeup of her face. That's where the doubles come in—and when you see them standing side by side with their principles, it's, well, a *lot*, as these photos show.
Reese Witherspoon
The first of many suspect wigs in this gallery, keep a lookout.
Anna Kendrick
THIS IS SCARING ME.
Chris Evans
Probably about to burst through a wall or some such.
Jennifer Garner
Did you know there are awards for stunt people? And that these awards shows have after-parties that Jennifer Garner and her double Shanna Duggins have attended in matching outfits? So fun!
Angelina Jolie
Smiles on the set of Salt.
Cameron Diaz
Diaz's double for Knight and Day *doubling* (I hate myself too) as a wardrobe assistant. Or she's making sure she doesn't fall out of her harness, that could be it.
Abbie Cornish
Oh man, that wig.
Andrew Garfield
And here, a still from Step Up 4: Spider-Man Expands His Horizons. JK, this is Andrew Garfield and William Spencer, one of his two doubles, rehearsing for for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Taylor Lautner
When your stunt double looks a little too much like you.
Gal Gadot
Raise your hand if you think Caitlin Dechelle and Gal Gadot look like they could be related. Great casting, eh?
