MAD MAX stuntman Grant Page died in a scary car accident at the age of 85. The movie “legend” is getting a lot of praise for his work.
The Aussie star was driving alone when he crashed into a tree, which made the police and fire departments rush to the scene.
Even though ambulances and police arrived quickly, the movie star tragically died.
His son Leroy, who is 49 years old, called his dad a “legend” and said he was working on movies.
He told Daily Mail Australia, “He died in a very good mood and with a lot of drive.” He was very pleased.
We don’t know anything else about the accident that happened in New South Wales on Thursday.
A lot of famous action movies had Page in them, like several Mad Max movies, The Man from Hong Kong, Roadgames, Deathcheaters, and Stunt Rock.
The last movies he worked on were the prequel to Mad Max called Furiosa, which is coming out later this year, and Three Thousand Years of Longing.
The stuntman first appeared in movies in the 1970s. Friends in the business have paid tribute to him.
Brian Trenchard-Smith, who used to manage him, said yesterday, “Grant Page was Australia’s first stunt performer and my friend for fifty-two years.”
“I will really miss him. He was an inspiring person who didn’t give up.
“Most people know that getting older makes us heavier, that gravity pulls us down, and that death is waiting for us if we dare too much.” “Not necessarily,” Grant replied, “because he was able to change the rules of physics and probability.”
Trenchard-Smith said he had a “extraordinary ability” as a stuntman.
“He’s the guy you get to dodge the cars, slide down the cliff on fire, jump into the water and fight the shark.”
Also online, Australian director Jamie Blanks said, “I just learned the terrible news that my dear friend and legendary Australian stuntman Grant Page has died.”
The man Grant was one of the nicest, bravest, and most wonderful people I have ever met.
“I’m very sad about the death of this Australian legend today.” “Rest in peace, Grant.”
Dr. Luke Buckmaster, an Australian film critic, called him “brave, cheeky, and devilishly bold.” He also said that he left a legacy “written in tire streaks and burn marks.”
The “transfer” was one of his most famous moves.
He climbed from one car window to another while they were both going very fast down a road.
His four sons, Leroy, Adrian, 52, Jeremy, 51, and Gulliver, 47, as well as his ex-wife Joy and ex-partner Ulli, will miss him.
