While fans have grown accustomed to witnessing Daniel Radcliffe's captivating performances on the screen, whether as the Chosen One or as a dual-gun wielding crazed lunatic, the beloved Harry Potter star is embarking on a fresh venture. Radcliffe will step into the role of an executive producer for an upcoming Harry Potter documentary telling the story of one of his stunt doubles.
The upcoming documentary titled David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived is a coming-of-age story of Holmes, a gymnast-turned-stunt man who worked with Radcliffe on six Harry Potter movies. He also had the role of a Slytherin beater in a Quidditch game in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Holmes' last work was on Deathly Hollows Part 1 where he was involved in a planned stunt during filming. The stunt didn't go as planned and resulted in an explosion that caused Holmes to fall to the ground and suffer a life-altering injury. The accident left the stunt double paralyzed from the chest down and changed the course of the young man's life.
"As Daniel and his closest stunt colleagues rally to support David and his family in their moment of need, it is David's extraordinary spirit of resilience that becomes their greatest source of strength and inspiration," a press release for the project reads.
