Harry Potter Stunt Double On The Accident That Paralysed Him | Minutes With 

Great documentary

I watched this last month. It was incredible and emotional. I definitely have a greater appreciation for the Harry Potter movies because of David.

This idea of "insurability" is so strange. The Potter films could not have been made without a face, but they also required a body. It seems to me that without you and your kind, there can be no blockbuster. I hope they took good care of you. If the stars don't need to worry about money anymore, you should never have to worry about money again. This is a story about what we value, how much we value it, and why we value it.

Which streaming services is it on?

@@DeborahSeaywhere did you watch it?

They wont, because the Oscars listen to money, not talent

The oscars isnt about celebrating films and whp creates them. Its to celebrate the elite that work on them and stroke their ego

especially nowadays@@NortOfficial

@@Dionysos640 I think most people know the Oscars are about as meaningful with regards to filmmaking as the Emmys are or the golden globes are. Go watch some of the best character actors, they openly tell you the toughest acting are the people doing bit parts who come in for the day and have umpteen script changes and character changes and are still expected to perform for very little money. In a film they literally shoot three second bits and splice them together. As the joke goes, even WRITERS get no respect in Hollywood, only the good looking people in fancy clothes.

It’s almost like the Oscars are just marketing for otherwise mediocre talent in order to make more money for an industry of nepo baby scum.

Well said

I agree

I agree. These celebs get paid so much and they can’t even do their own stunts? LAME. bless this man. I hope they are taking excellent care of him.

@@wakeupandhuman1800 Thankfully not all actors have inflated egos, Keanu Reeves actually shows appreciation for his stunt doubles and repays them. No surprise there.

The problem is that it would be a very blurry category. Like, would it be an award for "Best Stunt" or "Best Stunt Double"? Because if it is the former you'd have to include actors who perform their own stunts. This category may also fall into the trap of rewarding people solely for putting themselves/being put in dangerous situations. It's kind of the same reason why Guinness World Records stopped giving out world records for inherently dangerous things like obesity or fasting, because they don't want to create a competitive environment where the competition is how much mortal risk you can put yourself in.

PILLAR OF STRENGTH, thats one hell of a term for someone in a wheelchair lol

I agree with you. How much wisdom from a beautiful human!

Could not have put it better

@@akemi8199 makes it even better imo. to carry yourself like that despite your condition. inspiring for sure

@@akemi8199 He ended up in a wheelchair doing something he loved that you would never dare to do, yes he is a pillar of strength while you are more of the opposite...

Drugs make me feel a whole lot😎 time to embrace

@@Zteyuopui if your being honest and you continue down that path just wait… you will force yourself and your loved ones to suffer and if you don’t have the strength this man has you won’t make it. Awful to say anything like this, to be a troll in this situation, because that too is a battle this man will have to face the rest of his life, however he deserves to live without agonizing pain, you…. Maybe not. It comes around man, be better, learn from this guy.

I don't like one liers I'm going back to antoin

​@@ZteyuopuiDrugs aren't inherently bad, it all depends on which kind it is and how you use it. It's like a gun, it can be used for good, but in the wrong hands...

Such wisdom!

Also that fat ass check JK Rowling wrote him

He's got a point, hell I'm an ADULT and I'll never look at those movies the same way again. But basically this video is something that should be attached to every Harry Potter film.

That’s when I lost it, too. What a selfless act. He waited long enough to tell his story. I can’t wait to watch the documentary.

@@hayp682 LOL, good point. To be fair LOTS of people really don't like sharing their story with the world, and I can understand that. Anonymity is a hell of a thing to give up. Hoping he succeeds in improving those public services. I love europe and asia because they have trains everywhere and they are all level to the ground so no problem for those in wheelchairs.

@@hayp682 JK Rowling just made me like her even more

That part also made me tear up

Well said, completely agree

@user-pn5mn6mv3c What are you trying to say here?

@user-pn5mn6mv3c Firstly he was well off to begin with working in movies at a young age, secondly he’s outside of the US and their garbage Healthcare system, and thirdly it still takes a lot of guile both mentally and physically to come back from such a shock. It seems to me like you’re just jealous of the opportunities he’s been given, the same opportunities he wouldn’t have got if he let his tragedy define him. “These scars that we have, we aren’t meant to go back and fix them; and there’s nothing broken within you that needs fixing. Don’t live your past, live your life”

@@currymitch5119 There's some truth in what "user-pn5mn6mv3c" has said. David is very likeable, and I wish him the very best. That said, he is lucky in his misfortune because, by his own admission, he's helped and loved by so many people. Would you praise those with a 'victim mentality' or even feel sorry for them? I bet you wouldn't. On the contrary, you'd prolly shit on them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some people receive no love (or even positive attention) from the moment they are born. It's difficult to "bring things to the table", as David said in this interview, when no one has ever brought anything to *your* table.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Healthy relationship with his injuries. Well said thank's. 1997-2006 US Marine infantryman Sgt.100P.T. Josh

Very well said. I was once a carer for a man with similar injuries and he definitely was having a hard time coming to terms with them. It was sad really

You're right that is what he's telling is a story if you've heard anything about stunt Devil's lives it goes nothing like his. Stunt Devils play dead bodies for the first 30 years of their career

@@RekySai I don't think you have a clue of what reality is in his field. 🙄

@@metapotamusthey don’t even know 😂

her name is Erin and she’s amazing no doubt, always feels like she’s engaged 100% and lives through other people’s stories rather than just asking questions for the sake of it

Tried to listen for the voice crack you're talking about but never heard that.. when did that happen ?

@@bekanimalStarting around 07:45-07:46

@@prawncrisp5951 oof .. 🤔 that's a reach

@@bekanimalagreed. Amazing interview and he seems like a great person, as does the interviewer. But she remained professional and never showed any sign of emotion. As she should, no judgment. Overall a great and charming interview. But this comment is definitely a reach.

All the best to you and your husband.

Agreed, the interviewer has done a great job, letting the interviewee speak their story without interruption and remaining an attentive, empathetic listener

A lot of Ladbible interviews are like this, they're really worth watching, despite the channel name.

Liar

@@Cr41gh4m1 My name is in the credits and I'm on the HPDH documentary, plus you can see me in two of the videos on the tour at Levesden studios....Oh, and there was that feature in Make-Up Artist magazine too. Just sayin' 😁

Sure.

Idk why but your reply got deleted by RU-vid. I could only see it by clicking on your profile picture. No idea what happened.

⁠@@RobertBoyle11 Why would she make this shit up? You guys are just wanting a battle 😂😂😂

The documentary he's in is amazing! I just watched it a few weeks ago. I had no idea either. It was such an eye opener.

Dan has spoken about the incident a small handful of times. I really respect his personal support of this man also.

It was in some extra materials for the film 6, I believe. Honestly this whole thing is shocking. I don't like this. Why do movies need scenes like this at all? Expecially movies such as Harry Potter?

Sorry it came up rubbish. David Holmes the boy who lived. Documentary with Daniel R. I watched it on Binge. It's really good!!

why is he a man but she's "a lass" lmao 😂

If Daniel was so “kind hearted” he’d not have stabbed the woman who made his career in the back.

​@@FallenAngel9979she didn't make his career, he was already an actor before HP and she also didn't cast him. He brought one of her characters to life, that's all there is to it. Just because you disagree with how he handled her don't make him less kind hearted. We're people, we all have opinions and all, just because we worked together or you helped me out in the past doesn't mean I have to be your shadow and think like you do.

​@@kustar5776 agree with this. Just to add on, if someone says something you don't agree with that's more than okay. Even if they "made your career" doesn't mean you don't have a mind of your own. I wouldn't even say he "stabbed her in the back". He didn't screw her over in any way just expressed himself.

@@FallenAngel9979 If you’re referring to J K Rowlings and her opinion/comment that’s her opinion/comment it should have no bearing or affect on Daniel nor should his opinion have bearing or affect on J K Rowling they are each intitled to their own opinions just like you and I. I was not looking to bring controversy into my opinion and yes just because there’s a difference in opinions does not make anyone less kind hearted. Myself when it comes to political stuff I like to keep it out of what little I have left to use as a pleasurable escape time I have this was a family bond time I did with my kids so it’s a comfort to me when I do need that fighting stage 5 kidney disease. And for the record I like J K Rowlings and Daniel they are both very good at what they do and making people happy this was never supposed to be for bashing one or the other.

@@charmedirish1Hope you can enjoy your time exactly as you’d like, both when you’re alone and enjoying time with family. Hope you’re having a blast &/or enjoying all the beauty around you, wherever you are. All the best to you from Australia 🦘

Oh what’s it called ?

What’s it called please?

@MrAidanfleming Sorry, it's not Netflix. It's on Sky Documentaries. It's called David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived.

its on max in the us :) watching it now.

He go crazy he did all of there roles. That's fukkin crazy. Lmfao.

@user-pn5mn6mv3c It's also easy for someone in his position to be depressed and angry because he lost a job he loved even with money and family. I've seen it happen a lot more than see someone be positive and happy. You sound like you are jealous. Be happy you have the ability to go through life on two legs because it could change in the blink of an eye- like it did for him. Be happy in whatever life has given you. No one is guaranteed money, family, and parties. He embraces life and shows happiness in his character. You should too. Not spreading unhappiness and jealousy.

Keanu also did, no? They are the ones who created john wick after all

Too late they are almost extinct, it is easier to animate stunts than to film them

@user-pn5mn6mv3c Depends what country you live in unfortunately.

@user-pn5mn6mv3c the job I currently do has me delivering to people like him. You're right, a few of them I see are alone and its an extremely hard life. Enough to break anyone. I feel pangs of guilt when I leave them to get to my next stop. Otherwise id stay and chat for a while. This guy seems like a really good laugh to chat to as well

@user-pn5mn6mv3c Okay? What’s your point?

​​@user-pn5mn6mv3care you throwing a pity party for yourself with all of these comments you're spamming around?

Wishing you strength and All things good!
