We
love
to
watch
action
packed
films
where
the
actors
do
difficult
stunts.
While
most
of
the
stars
prefer
body
doubles,
there
are
some
perfectionists
like
Tom
Cruise
who
love
to
go
with
their
adrenaline
rush
and
do
the
dangerous
stunts
themselves.
However,
the
saying
that
death
can
come
anytime
and
no
one
can
stop
it
is
always
on
the
mind
of
stars
who
risk
their
lives
while
filming.
We
think
that
the
life
of
a
film
star
is
glamourous
but
we
don't
know
how
much
effort
these
stars
put
behind
the
scenes
to
bring
out
the
perfection
on-screen.
Actors
shoot
scenes
at
wildest
locations
with
loads
of
wires,
Did
you
know,
some
of
our
favourite
Hollywood
stars
have
almost
fought
death
and
escaped
it
on
the
sets
while
filming.

example,
our
favourite

Streep
while
she
was
filming
The
River
Wild.
Meryl
fell
into
the

water
and
fortunately,
Kevin
Bacon
came
to
the
rescue
and
saved
her.
Here
is
a
look
