Brad Pitt, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor by playing stuntman Cliff Booth in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', performed nearly all of his own stunts for upcoming  movie 'Bullet Train'. 

The action movie is directed by David Leitch, who previously graced his talent  in hit films like 'John Wick', 'Deadpool 2', and 'Atomic Blonde'. He starred 56-year-old actor as one of several hitmen who engage in bloody warfare aboard a speeding train. 

The supporting cast of the upcoming thriller includes Pitt's fellow Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, plus Michal Shannon, Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Bad Bunny.

 "Brad did all of his physical stunts — the fighting," Greg Rementer, the second-unit director and stunt coordinator on 'Bullet Time', recently told a media outlet. 'He’s like a natural-born athlete. He really got in there!'

Tom Cruise, who is a year older than Brad Pitt , is well known for doing all of his stunts himself. Pitt hasn't really built that reputation despite being the same age and certainly appearing in his share of action movies. 

Brad Pitt was far from the only actor to do a lot of his own physical stunt work. Several of the other actors in the movie did as well.
