ANT-MAN AND THE WASP's Paul Rudd Has An Inspiring Amputee Stunt Double

I know a good amount of people with various disabilities. Many of them use their disabilities as an excuse not to do certain things, or blame their lack of success their ailments. It's hard to break down the wall of feeling limited in their abilities, and becoming grounded.

Brett Smrz is an inspiration to anyone who might feel this way. You see, at 16-years-old, Smrz lost one of his legs in a trampoline accident, but that didn't stop him from becoming a professional stuntman!

He is one of two stunt doubles for Paul Rudd on Marvel Ant-Man and the Wasp and he is a stunt driver. In the photo below you can see him walking around on the set of the film in Ant-Man's new costume. You can read all about his background here.

This definitely will make people rethink the way we look at stunt doubles and the kind of people who end up becoming a stunt double. Seriously, how many of us ever thought of a stunt double having only one leg? He doesn't let his handicap keep him from doing what he loves to do. 

I don't know, I just thought this was awesome and I had to share it.
