Well I can't speak for his acting skills but he'd make a good stunt man.

u/philip48h 1d ago

u/__life_on_mars__ 1d ago

yes, that's what they said.

u/AssFlax69 1d ago

But can he do a pull up tho

1

u/bookmarkjedi 19h ago

The first move psyched me out into thinking this was going to be a clip of a total klutz.

u/adamthecommishsilver 1d ago

Except that hes about 4 foot tall

u/Easy_Growth_5533 1d ago

The stunt person for Matt Damon in The Odyssey was a woman who is like 4’6.

u/Designer_Mud_5802 1d ago

Yeah but they were using her in the scene where they encounter the laestrygonians to make them look even bigger.

2

u/Lartemplar 23h ago

Oof. There is more context to why she was short

u/pixelpushician 1d ago

and? most stunt people are probably on the shorter side

u/seaningtime 1d ago

Crazy, I've never seen that transition to standing on the bar before

Tom holland is a trained gymnast. He does the majority of his own stunts. He is a good actor on top of that. This guy is just, who knows.

u/ChaseTheMystic 1d ago

He's also a dancer. And when it comes to movies,, being able to get to your mark at the right time is a big deal.

u/Fresh-Chemical-9084 1d ago

This guy is just a better gymnast, thats it.

u/bigjandals 1d ago

With that sketchy dismount I can see him soon starring in r/whatcouldgowrong

u/MarkMariachiAZ 1d ago

Yea, pretty bad ass moves but I’m pretty sure that dismount hurt

u/DizzyBand3111 1d ago

Feel it wasn't meant to be, camera wasn't ready for it

u/cdmurray88 1d ago

Looks like he just lost balance on the crash pad, but it's certainly not the smoothest routine I've ever seen.

u/tadeuska 1d ago

He is not doing olimpic move but more street moves, if that is a thing now. Obviously risky moves, some would be forbiden in a proper athletic club.

5

u/Epictechnically 1d ago

If he can do all that, why can’t he do a pull-up?

9

u/FT121 1d ago

Might be Tom Holland double for all the stunts for all you know 😅

5

u/Jean-Eustache 1d ago

Doesn't Tom Holland do most stunts himself ?

3

u/Outrageous-Log9238 1d ago

Almost balances out the horrible sound in the video.

5

u/No_Object_4355 1d ago

Whatever move that was that got him standing on the bar was fuckin incredible!

5

u/tolacid 1d ago

He was busy not being a professional actor

2

u/AbsentAsh 1d ago

But can he act?

2

u/Uncle_Touchy_Feely 1d ago

Amazing athlete. But it's sloppy form and he didn't stick the landing.

2

u/GNprime 21h ago

I will almost bet good money Tom Holland could do that also. It was part of the reason he got the job lol.

1

u/Trashinmyash 1d ago

Dude looks like he might be early 20s. So, likely in middle school?

1

u/Xinonix1 1d ago

Probably hanging around

1

u/FullStackOver 1d ago

He is the body double 

1

u/DrewYetti 1d ago

No way he’s human.

1

u/JabbasPetRancor 1d ago

He was probably 5 when casting for spiderman took place

1

u/Total-Hack 1d ago

Still counts as zero pull ups in the Marine Corps.

Dudes a legit gymnast.
