The magic part of movie-magic is making everything look easy, seamless, and blurring the lines between reality and illusion. This is true for many special effects and also stunts, which often involve the use of body doubles. However, in many cases, there were actors who played a part in a film that involved martial arts, and they were actually able to do the stunts themselves. Here are some of the actors who are actually very skilled martial artists as well.

Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich is known for her roles that involve a lot of action-packed scenes. She is perfectly suited for these parts since she is a talented martial artist herself, practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and she is also a vocal fan of MMA.
