Wimpy Superhero

man-scared-3[Blind Gossip] He may play a superhero on the screen… but this actor’s real-life wimpiness leaves the crew rolling their eyes!

Of course he has a stunt man to do the difficult stunts, but he won’t even do the easy stuff himself. We’re not talking about anything that would put him in any danger. We’re talking about a somersault, or a three-foot jump between fake rooftops in front of a chroma key. He’s either scared or lazy or a wimp.

BG Note: Chroma Key = Green screen or blue screen backdrop used for special effects shots.

[Optional] What stunt have you always wanted to try?

    I don’t know who this is, but I remember something I read about Humphrey Bogart: He’d call a stuntman if he had to cut a grapefruit. His reasoning was that it was a job for someone who otherwise wouldn’t have work that day.

    Ruffalo is 49; Rudd 47; Affleck 44; Pratt 37.

    For whatever muscle is visible, if they haven’t been trained properly, they’re more likely to get injured and lose their career.

    If it’s small screen and projecting character into real life, my guess would be Grant Gustin. The Flash and Supergirl seem equally wimpy to me.

    Maybe Mark Ruffalo. I don’t mind though. You never know what personal challenges others face. I put it down to cautiousness.

    Jason Statham was calling out a “hero with a cape” for being a wimp last year, so maybe Thor? he’s pretty big. Chris Hemsworth.

    Makes sense if it’s Henry Cavill. Watched a super cringy interview with him once. The guy has absolutely no sense of humour.

    Henry Cavill ? -or- Ryan Reynolds

    I’m going with Henry as the blind hint stated rooftop jumping scenes. But then again, Reynolds is acting like primadonna recently. I know, call in
    Wonder Woman.

    Parachuting, bungee jumping, zip lining, and swimming with dolphins in the ocean are all on my bucket list.
    #1 is sex in zero gravity edge of space.

    It sounds like Henry Cavill to me. Honestly I don’t blame him though. A small accident that puts him out of commission for even a bit delays an entire production. A little more complicated, but everything stays on schedule.

    Actor: Stephen Amell from Arrow That “green” stuff may be a clue?

    Opt: It’d be fun to ride beautiful horses in any set~ especially Outlander!

      Amell does his own stunts. He’s made such a fuss about posting his behind the scenes videos and he wants to take part in American Ninja Warrior. He is a lot of things but wimp, is not one of them.

    It really depends on his age. Maybe he has a problem with sore backs and things. You can’t always tell just by looking.

    • Crisesaverted says

      Yes, the actor probably has some back issues he didn’t divulge for health insurance and doesn’t want to hurt himself worse.

    • youngstory says

      Not this, I’ve seen some behind the scene of Chris Evans. He’s quite cool and *. So, Not him

    I feel like this is Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk in the motion capture suit
    Clues being the green background (Hulk is green) and the guy in the pic looks similar to him.
    Breaking through a glass window for sure!

    • thisisannoying says

      I think it’s him too! He just seems the type, and the guy in the photo has some similar features. Can they please dissolve his contract as Batman because he’s so awful!!!
