Richard Madeley gets slapped by Britain's oldest stuntman on GMB
RICHARD Madeley got 'slapped' by Britain's oldest stuntman on today's Good Morning Britain as he bravely stepped up to the plate for a live demonstration of the pro's skills.
Rocky Taylor, 73, has doubled for Roger Moore and Sean Connery in James Bond films as part of his glittering film career, and was on the ITV breakfast show to promote his new book., 62, and his co-hosts, Rocky shared: "People like Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan are very capable, but if they have an accident we can't replace them."Years ago, stuntmen weren't recognised and if an actor had a double he wanted to pretend that he didn't, but now we are coming to the light.
He then stood with his back to the camera and Rocky pretended to whack the star in the face - with a timely sound effect making the move all the more realistic.
Richard urged the star to do it again, with stunned Kate gasping: "That looked really real, are you okay?!" Reassuring his co-host that he was fine, Richard then quipped: "They're all saying at home: 'Why didn't he connect?
