While there are many well-recognized actors who were/are also extremely capable behind the wheel (Steve McQueen always comes to mind first, but there are others like Patrick Dempsey, Paul Newman and Eric Bana), to the point of not requiring doubles during intense car-related scenes, most performers need help on the silver screen.
In the upcoming Need for Speed movie, help came in the form of driving lessons at the Motion Picture Stunt School. Both protagonists of the film, Aaron Paul, who portrays good-guy Tobey Marshall, and his rival, Dominic Cooper as a wealthy and bigheaded ex-NASCAR driver, were taught some basic stunt car moves.
We’ve already seen how Paul did and now, NFS has released a featurette with Cooper’s day at the driving school. You can watch it after the jump.
