The Stunt That Changed Everything: Life After Harry Potter. Uncut with David Holmes

Today’s guest is someone many of us grew up watching even if we didn’t realise it.

David Holmes was a stunt double in the Harry Potter films, mostly for Harry but he also doubled for quite a few other characters and contributed to one of the most iconic movie franchises of our generation. But during filming, an accident left David paralysed from the chest down at just 25 years old.

His memoir The Boy Who Lived and his documentary of the same name tell the story of that accident, but more importantly, what happened after. In the book and the doco, David shares how his friendships are what kept him alive, how his identity has shifted since the accident and the complicated reality of rebuilding a life when everything changes in a second.

In today’s chat we speak about:

  • Losing sensation but finding the best s3x he’s ever experienced
  • A particularly beautiful love story - David and his partner (who also has a spinal cord injury) falling in love and ‘heeling’ a lot of themselves together
  • What it was like being a stunt performer for 7 Harry Potter films
  • BTS of Harry Potter and his close friendship with Daniel Radcliffe
  • David’s accident that happened on set
  • Fighting for 3 years for proper compensation
  • Blame after an accident like this
  • David’s advocacy for disabled people
  • The friendships he has maintained
  • The future of the creative world like stunting with AI

“If Someone Offered Me A Magic Pill To Get My Legs Back, I’d Be Reluctant To Take It”
