That's how I feel about my dad. I don't even see the wheelchair when I look at him, but everyone else see's it first.
jtays
you can see the accent
CrabWallet
There's an argument to be made that stunt doubling should be illegal. It's not that different from selling organs or prostitution.
abopi
It kinda looks like he says many three times in the first frame but the text only says it twice
IDontEvenKnowwhaaa
Yea, saw that too, but the first one isn't 'many', it's the 'back'
phoenix33159
Must have been an invisibility cloak scene or something. Looks like he's wearing a green screen shirt.

Yer my nigga, Harry.

Genuinely laughed out loud there.
RIPFuturama
Well played sir.
TacticusThrowaway
I like to think this is just after he got in a fight over Dave. "I'll deck u m8 I swear on Merlin."

So, umm... what happened to Dans face?
DreamCatcher01
What happened to his face? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FACE!!!

flash at the end of second image felt like it should have been significant...

Probably interviewed on The Woman in Black set, face makeup, green cgi suit.

Life partner.

Stunt double
AndyCraig
Why not both?
PrfctDrk
I would feel like a terrible person if my stunt double got paralyzed from a stunt :( But its good they're friends :)
WithMyHeadInTheClouds
The stunt double made the decision to take a high-risk job, and I'm sure he doesn't regret it. Any other perspective would drive me insane.
RocketzZ
someone got the story what happened that he got paralyzed?
zombiequeen394
I'm pretty sure he was Dan's stunt double who was injured in an accident.

Aww, thanks Danny. Now, what the fuck happened to your face?

this llbf guy does not appreciate humor
danirc
I love Dan more & more everyday.
Fivefingerheist
It's sad what happened, but you can tell by Daniel's body language that they are truly friends.
johanevj
Is this the standard for being a good person? Having a friend in a wheelchair? 'Cause that's always a sacrifice?
cossettetape
I think people try to categorize famous people this way, like "oh but he has a child with special needs" or "his brother is gay"
cossettetape
and Radcliffe doesn't want to be categorized like this
PoppinLochNessHopster
It could have been radcliffe in the chair if he had been doing his own stunts. That kid basically took a bullet for him.
personality15
You've got dirt on your face, did you know? Just there...
MannyTheMoodyMammoth
He got a bit of red on him.

You, uhh....got somethin on your face there. No, there. No, THERE. Dammit c'mere I'll get it.
RainbowAmoeba
He is such a good human being.

His scar moved.
cbennett
your comment almost made me choke on my hotdog. have a +1
tunacupcake

mozerm
He didn't even spit on him or anything!

Obligatory "Fuck Beiber"

He is a True Hero.

That's because unlike Justin, Dan is a real nice guy, not a complete douchenozzle.

TotalTriscuit
Context is, that's his stunt double that got paralyzed during a scene.
EarendilTheBlessed
that sounds awful.
boulderhaze
Wow thats so terrible. I definitely never heard about this when it first happened.
peoniesinkittylitter
Oh wow! That is terrible! Poor Dave! Poor Daniel too. The guilt must be so hard.
TastyButts

MagicBB
Nurse Pomfrey couldn't do anything for him? :(
Toxicempanada
Oh man, that sucks.
plusoneforyou
the real feels...
jsktrogdor
I think people would be surprised at how many stunt doubles fuck up their bodies.
CoryMatthews
I thought he died? Or was that another stunt double?
TotalTriscuit
Different stunt double, I believe.
sitsonchair
wait....another stunt double died?
DreamOfSpaghettification
No, he was the one who lived

Cinnamok
Really? I'm surprised I've never heard about this before.
HarryPotterGeek
It's legit. I heard about it for the first time a few years ago.
Cinnamok
Not disputing, just surprised. I guess it's a risk when you're in that line of work
existana
yup like Construction - they get paid more the higher off they ground they work
Cinnamok
That seems reasonable
YouAreNowBlinkingAndBreathingManuallyAndHaveTheSuddenUrgeToYawn
that's some strange job: do shit that is guaranteed to be dangerous, get damaged and paralyzed
stuntmantan
it's about safely portraying the ILLUSION of danger. someone fucked up the rig, and this guy got the shit-end of the stick.
ForeverTyrone
As a stunt performer, we all start out as adrenaline junkies. By the time we are working regularly, we are turn into fucking safety nazis.
sellek9000
interesting bit of info! thank you. stay safe and keep your shit together, tyrone.
firstdayofyourlife
flip side is, he might have gotten a settlement. maybe it'll help him get top-notch treatment. hopefully. silver lining. please. :(
firstdayofyourlife
also: idk wtf i'm saying, "hope he gets the treatment he deserves." with dan as his friend, he better. i would be writing checks like mad.
skellious
Luckily in the UK he'll get the same treatment regardless of how wealthy he is. This is why socialised healthcare is so important.
firstdayofyourlife
er, kind of. it's also why a lot of people seek advanced treatments overseas. because when healthcare is an industry and makes money, like+
firstdayofyourlife
in the states, people go where the money is. there are expensive facilities here that simply have the funds to do more with patient care.
LeonQuin87
Yea he actually got a chip implanted in him that allows him to walk again. Like they do with people with Parkinson.
LeonQuin87
How nice would that be right? It's not true but it would still be nice.
firstdayofyourlife
what? really? don't play with me! i fell for "if you say the word orange very slowly it sounds like the word gullible."
propyro
If he's British then the NHS should take care of him treatment wise. He likely did get a settlement since he suffered a life altering ...
propyro
Accident at work and now needs a shit load of retraining/rehab/education if he's going to try to have any semblance of independence.
firstdayofyourlife
idk if stuntmen waive their rights, but for a lot of companies any work-related injury can result in a liability lawsuit. so hopefully he +
firstdayofyourlife
did get a settlement, if not for just his treatment, but because like you said: his lifestyle is going to be more expensive now.

TheJerkWithaMouth
Thats fucking sad
BendysnatchCabbagestrudel
I really want to know how everything has turned out for him since then
xkr73
Impressive: Studio pays his full wages and his mortgage.
existana
I think they can afford it. I would think someone would just pay off his house for him - anonymously or something
PhineusTBottomsworth
Heading, subheading, and opening line, all the same, fucking Daily Mirror, pull your linguistical socks up for christ's sake.
ohmanohman
That article said that he will never walk again three times by the time I read the first sentence...
SalsaOreos
Lawsuit? Did he actually sue?
spLagger
I hope he has insurance for shit like this
AsAnAussie
I know a person who became a paraplegic, after an accident, involving a 3-storey fall. I see him as a guy who just chooses to stay seated :(
MatrimBloodyCauthon
You're a good person.
joboo
Same thing happened to a dear friend of mine. 3 story fall from an apartment balcony.
RougemageNick
Story please?
AsAnAussie
(1)He was in his final years of highschool. When I say 3-storey, I mean the 2nd floor of a posh college. I don't know details but he
AsAnAussie
(2) essentially fell out of a window. He became paralysed, waist down. To avoid being sued, the colleged helped out his education.
AsAnAussie
(3) His family moved house; there were too many stairs, and the driveway was really steep. He's adapted really well though.
hsalceht
for life?
Arachnadude
Only for a few years... Don't worry, he'll walk it off.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL wow you went there'

Holy shit that's funny
espasmato
Paralysis is generally for life, yes.
hsalceht
generally for life..lol no buti see it is from that article
ImActuallyMoreOfADogPerson
I think maybe he meant, "Daniel's stunt double, for life?" not, "paralyzed for life?"
SarcasticComment
why is he good? if you listened to what he said, this is exactly the type of SHIT he is talking about
badapparu
Because... he's a decent person? He cares about people? You're trying a little too hard, imgur hipster.
SarcasticComment
lol. i don't think you know what hipster means, and as for trying two hard, why bring up old arguments from 17 days ago?

I had actually changed the title. But as usual, was too late...

he's friends with someone. leave it at that. 30 years ago the media would be making a big deal out of having a "minority friend"

username...
mynamespaul
'cause even after becoming a celebrity he's still grounded enough to remember that the content of someone's character is all that matters?
SarcasticComment
oh my god a celeb did a thing any normal human would do. all praise goes to them. they have a wheel chair friend, OMG
TipToes
I know everyone's ragging on you, but you seriously live up to your username. Kudos dude.
K0R0I0Z
At least he's being positive about what he's saying. You just sound spiteful and petty in this post.
SarcasticComment
if being upset by the fact people are glorifying a relationship between two individuals because one happens to be in a chair, then thats me
K0R0I0Z
Welcome to the sheep fest that is imgur. Doesn't mean DC isn't at least a decent person from what we the public can tell. Nor does it (1)
mynamespaul
Not being a dick at any given moment deserves congratulations. When you do it while famous, the congratulations are just ore widespread.
fartexplosion
Nobody deserves congratulations for acting like a human being. Congratulations are for those who go above & beyond what is expected of them.
SarcasticComment
pretty much. Some celeb helped a little kid up who fell down. Better post that all over the internet. Isn't he such a good guy?
mynamespaul
yes
shifty18
dude, the username
SarcasticComment
doesn't make what I say any less true. should I assume that your name shifty implies that everything you say is untrustworthy by definition
SarcasticComment
I find that outlook on life to be troublesome. that's like saing people should be rewarded for fulfilling their minimum job description
mynamespaul
they are. with money.
