Stunt Rider and Stunt Team Principal Aaron Stannage

Aaron Stannage, the son of our very first guest Mark Stannage, joins us to share what it was like being born into the stunt industry. From performing his first motorcycle stunts at just three years old, to buying his own stunt show in his mid-teens and setting world records—he’s had quite the journey. He even shares the story of listening to his favourite song by Jason Derulo on repeat for an hour! Aaron gives us his perspective on the incident involving his dad at Glastonbury, and how that moment pushed him, as a teenager, to run the show entirely on his own—performing all the stunts himself, some for the very first time. He goes into detail about the stunts he’s performed and his ambition to join the stunt register, having already worked on a number of productions—with some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. Despite growing up in the spotlight of the stunt world, Aaron remains incredibly humble. He also tells us about the extraordinary effort he put into buying his dad the ultimate 50th birthday gift—it left us all on the team feeling a little inadequate (in the best way). Hosted on Acast.
