He’s still the star of the movie, though. So the risk of him getting injured or dying because of a stunt puts the future of the production in jeopardy, even if he has more skills than the typical action star.
He broke his leg filming a stunt (bad landing onto a boat). Filming stopped for two weeks and he had to film the remaining scenes after with a cast on his ankle.
He stopped doing major stunts after that because he realized it wasn’t the right idea.

Didn’t he start as a stunt actor for Bruce Lee?
Never heard that, cool if true.
