South African Stunt Performer Earns Praise From Hollywood Star
Story 3
South African stunt performer Chanique Greyling has received public praise from British actress Hannah Waddingham for her work as her stunt double in the action comedy series Ride or Die.
Waddingham praised Greyling during promotional interviews, describing her as an utter gangster for the incredible work she did on the production.
The pair previously worked together on The Fall Guy before reuniting in Prague to film Ride or Die. Greyling says recognition like this means a great deal, as stunt performers often work behind the scenes.
