The Motorsport Brief: The Fall Guy with Dan Reardon
Listen now
Description
We delve into the thrilling journey of the Aussie Supercross Champion who made his way to the big screen, fresh off his latest movie working alongside Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in "The Fall Guy," which was filmed in Australia. We caught up with Dan in Hong Kong, where he's already immersed in his next film project, to discuss Universal Pictures' tribute to the stunt industry and its homage to the original "Fall Guy." In this episode, we discover how Dan's racing expertise translates into the world of stunts—not just on motorcycles, but in cars, trucks, and action-packed fight scenes. Learn about his transition from racing to becoming fully accredited in the stunt industry and the challenges he faces in his post-racing career. We'll also share some behind-the-scenes insights, including a Guinness World Record set during filming and the extraordinary feat of shutting down the Sydney Harbour Bridge for a show-stopping scene. Tune in to hear how Dan's journey from the racetrack to the film set defines his unique contribution to the stunt world.
