Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was visibly moved while discussing the tragic accident that left his stunt double, David Holmes, paralysed during the filming of 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1'.The life and career of Holmes, a former gymnast from Essex, is the focus of a new documentary titled 'David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived', a nod to the nickname of the character Harry Potter in the popular film series and books by JK Rowling.
In a sneak peek shared by HBO, Danielle remembers David as someone who "would do the most dangerous physical stuff" on the set of the Harry Potter films.
He was chosen to be Daniel's double for the first film when he was only 11 years old. Over the next ten years, the two formed a close bond.This relationship, along with the devastating spinal injury Holmes suffered after an accident on set, is discussed in the teaser clip.
In the trailer, a tearful Danielle says: "It is unfair, he shouldn't have had to do any of that." He continues: "This terrible thing happened to Dave, but I don't want to talk as if his life is a tragedy." He concludes by saying: "The way his life has affected the lives of people around him means that it is the furthest thing from that imaginable." The film, directed by Dan Hartley and with Radcliffe as an executive producer, will feature candid personal footage shot over the last decade, behind-the-scenes material from Holmes' stunt work, and scenes of his current life.
