Casey Stoner to Debut as Stunt Double in Upcoming Fast & Furious Movie
Gold Coast, Australia – In an unexpected turn of events, former MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner is set to make his Hollywood debut as a stunt double in the next Fast & Furious movie. The retired racing legend, known for his fearless style on the track and his mastery of two wheels, will be taking on some high-risk scenes that only a true professional could handle.
According to sources close to the production, Stoner will be performing stunts involving high-speed motorcycle chases, weaving between cars, and pulling off jaw-dropping maneuvers that bring his trademark racing skills to the big screen. The producers of the film, known for their commitment to authentic action, were keen on hiring a real motorsport talent who could handle the extreme nature of the stunts planned for this installment.
“It’s something I’ve always been interested in,” Stoner said in an interview. “I’ve been a fan of the Fast & Furious franchise for years, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be part of it. It’s a different kind of thrill compared to racing, but the adrenaline rush is still there.”
Stoner retired from MotoGP in 2012, much to the surprise of fans who saw him as one of the most talented riders of his generation. Since then, he has kept a relatively low profile, occasionally testing bikes and spending time with his family. However, his love for speed and challenges has never waned, and this opportunity allows him to use his skills in a new and exciting way.
Justin Lin, the director of the upcoming Fast & Furious film, praised Stoner’s involvement. “We wanted someone who could bring real motorcycle racing expertise to these stunts, and Casey was our top choice. His talent on two wheels is unmatched, and he brings a level of authenticity that we believe audiences will love,” Lin said.
Filming for Stoner’s scenes has already begun, and insiders report that the former champion has taken to the world of Hollywood stunts with ease. “It’s different from racing, but the feeling of speed, the precision needed, and the focus are very similar,” Stoner noted.
Fans of both the Fast & Furious series and MotoGP are eager to see how Stoner’s skills translate to the silver screen. This crossover marks a unique fusion of motorsport and action cinema, promising some of the most thrilling motorcycle sequences yet seen in the franchise.
With Casey Stoner taking the reins in some of the high-adrenaline motorcycle scenes, the upcoming Fast & Furious promises to be a spectacle that delivers the thrill of racing with the intensity of Hollywood action. Fans can catch Stoner in action when the movie hits theaters next year.
