STEVE MARTIN - MARTIN INSISTS ON USING STUNT DOUBLE

MARTIN INSISTS ON USING STUNT DOUBLE

Actor STEVE MARTIN insists on using a stunt double on film sets - because his body is riddled with aches and pains from performing active comedy routines over the years. The funnyman's body has taken a beating for decades, with Martin performing his own stunts to get a laugh after his career took off in the 1970s.
And now, aged 63, the Emmy Award winner admits he's slowing down with age.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I worry now about being injured. You never get a major injury on a set (like new film Pink Panther 2), just little injuries that nag you for three years. I now use stunt men."
