Lindsey Vonn Swaps Slopes for Speed: Set to Debut as Stunt Double in Explosive Fast & Furious Movie
Los Angeles, CA – Former Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn is making a surprising move from the mountains to the movie set, announcing her upcoming role as a stunt double in the next Fast & Furious film. Known for her fearless skiing and incredible athleticism, Vonn is ready to take on a new kind of adrenaline challenge—this time on four wheels.
Vonn, who retired from professional skiing in 2019 after a career filled with World Cup titles and Olympic medals, will be diving into the world of Hollywood stunts for the popular action franchise. As a stunt double, Vonn will be performing a series of daring maneuvers, including high-speed car chases and jaw-dropping sequences that involve dangerous stunts, testing both her precision and her fearless mindset.
In a recent interview, Vonn shared her excitement about the role. “I’ve always loved cars and the thrill of speed, and when the opportunity came up to be a part of the Fast & Furious franchise, I jumped at it. It’s a different kind of rush compared to racing down a mountain, but it’s still all about pushing limits, and that’s something I love,” Vonn said. She also added that she had been preparing with intense stunt training to master the precision driving skills required for the movie.
According to the production team, Vonn’s involvement is a perfect fit for the high-octane action scenes the series is known for. “Lindsey’s background in competitive skiing makes her an ideal candidate for what we need in this movie,” said Justin Lin, the director of the upcoming Fast & Furious film. “She knows how to handle speed, how to navigate intense courses, and how to make split-second decisions—qualities that are essential for pulling off the kind of stunts we’re planning.”
The transition from Olympic athlete to Hollywood stunt double might seem unusual, but Vonn has always had a passion for motorsports. In the past, she has been involved in car racing events and has expressed her love for fast cars and adventure. Now, she gets the chance to combine her love for speed with her trademark fearlessness.
Vonn’s training has involved rigorous sessions on closed tracks, working alongside some of the top stunt drivers in the industry. She has learned advanced drifting techniques, high-speed car maneuvers, and has even taken lessons on how to perform controlled crashes. “It’s been a lot to learn, but I love every second of it,” Vonn said. “The stunt team has been incredible, and it’s been amazing to see how much goes into making these scenes look as epic as they do on screen.”
Fans of both Lindsey Vonn and the Fast & Furious series are eagerly anticipating her action-packed sequences. The film, which is already promising some of the most intense stunt work in the franchise’s history, will give audiences a glimpse of Vonn in a whole new light—bringing her daring athleticism to Hollywood’s most high-speed action saga.
With her ski racing days behind her, this new chapter allows Vonn to showcase her versatility and thrill-seeking nature, proving that whether on the slopes or behind the wheel, she’s always ready to take things to the extreme. The movie is set for release next summer, and Vonn’s fans can’t wait to see her conquer a new kind of high-speed challenge.
