Jackman's sister bans stunt double husband

Hugh Jackman has been banned from using his sister's husband as his stunt double.

The Australia actor revealed that brother-in-law Richard, who is married to his older sister Sonya, has broken his leg, arm and nose performing stunts for the star.

"My brother-in-law has doubled for me on a few of my movies," the Daily Star quotes him as saying. "It’s a weird situation, though, because sometimes things can go wrong. One time on Van Helsing he was ­doubling for me in a scene where I got really thrown about.

"He ended up breaking his leg and I had to phone my sister to explain and say I was sending him home. He’s cracked his wrist and nose, too. She is not best pleased."
