Brie Larson pays tribute to her stunt double
It is always an emotional moment when Hollywood actors and actresses receive an award. During this year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards, Brie Larson accepted an award for Best Fight, but instead of walking up the stage alone, the Marvel actress brought her two Captain Marvel stunt doubles on stage with her.
“Captain Marvel” was the studios first female-led solo film, and it was a ‘smashing’ success, becoming one of the top 3 movies of 2019 at the box office. Larson also appeared in alongside the Avengers in “Avengers: Endgame” establishing her role and name in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In a true power move certainly befitting for a strong female superhero, Larson acknowledged the women who helped bring “Captain Marvel” to life. Joanna Bennett and Renae Moneymaker, Larson’s stunt doubles, appeared on stage with Larson as she accepted her award. Later in an Instagram post, Larson wrote, “If you love Captain Marvel, you love [them].”
Larson also posted a touching photo of all three of them together on stage.
The actress has since received praise for acknowledging he stunt doubles. For the most part, stunt doubles and the people working behind the scenes rarely get recognition for the work.
