Colin Farrell 's stunt double Gabriel Nunez in DEAD MAN DOWN gives CineMovie's Pili Montilla a lesson in stunt work.
Gabriel Nunez first started working as Colin Farrell's stunt double in Total Recall and has since worked with the actor on his upcoming films including DEAD MAN DOWN. Our Pili Montilla trained for a day with Gabriel at the Tempest Free Running Academy in Los Angele to learn parkour and free running skills utilized for stunt work.
Gabriel Nunez tells CineMovie’s Pili how he came about to be chosen as Colin Farrell’s stunt double. He had heard the stunt coordinator Andy Gil for Total Recall was prepping for the movie at the Tempest Academy when as a joke a friend photographed Gabriel with a side by side photo of Colin. The friend sent it to the stunt coordinator who immediately hired Gabriel. Gabriel has worked on three movies with Farrell since. Gabriel demonstrated some tricks of his trade at the Academy. Watch as Pili showed some potential as a stunt woman.
Watch DEAD MAN DOWN to see if you can spot Gabriel in some of the action shots. The film, directed by the original director of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Niels Arden Oplev, is now playing in movie theaters.
