Brad Pitt is Doing His Own Stunts in New Action Film 'Bullet Train'

Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt will be forgoing a stuntman for his newest role, Ladybug in the David Leitch-directed action thriller Bullet Train. At 57, the star opted to film nearly all of the movie's action scenes himself. 

As the feature's stunt coordinator Greg Rementer recently revealed: "Brad did 95 percent of his physical stunts—the fighting. He’s like a natural-born athlete. He really got in there! Never have I ever done so many huge actors in one feature where all of them excelled at the physical movement of our training."

Bullet Train is Pitt's first film since Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood in 2019, and is an adaptation of the book Maria Beetle by Kōtarō Isaka. The feature tells the story of a group of assassins traveling by train between Tokyo and Morioka, Japan. In addition to Pitt, the film also features an ensemble cast, including Lady Gaga, Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Hiroyuki Sonada, Zazie Beetz, Andrew Koji, and Michael Shannon.
