It’s not often that you get access to such a wealth of intriguing images from the set of a proper Hollywood production like Rush. But then, it helps if you know one of the stunt drivers…
Andre D’Cruze formed part of the Driving Wizards stunt crew during filming, and played a big role in many scenes of the film, even if you won’t have noticed him in person. He collected these images during the four-month shoot, and says: “It was the most amazing film to be involved with and we were nominated for a Silver Actors Guild award for stunt driving, which makes me very proud.
“Ralf Kelleners also drive in Rush and his father Helmut drove in the original Le Mans with Steve McQueen, which I always thought was a great fact! I’m still working as a precision and stunt driver to this day… if anybody needs one.”
