This video of one guy falling over in the style of different actors is hilariously well done

Actors in Hollywood movies fall over a lot.

It’s a common trope in the action genre where the hero is being chased by, or indeed chasing, a bad guy. It’s also often used in comedy as a slapstick move. Indeed, Tom Cruise has so many falls that he should maybe consider wearing a panic alarm around his neck.

What we hadn’t really noticed before is that a lot of actors have a signature way of falling over, which the following video by comedian and athlete Daniel LaBelle highlights to excellent comedic effect.

It’s brilliantly funny and wonderfully well-observed. Thanks to Massimo for sharing on Twitter.

Ouch!

As a bonus, here’s Daniel demonstrating how it would look if adults did the same stuff as little kids.
