Hollywood stunt double Tony McFarr died on Monday [May 13] at the age of 47. In Tony’s memory, actor Chris Pratt shared a note on Instagram. The two have collaborated on films like Jurassic World, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Passengers. While paying his tribute, Chris Pratt wrote, “Devastated to hear about the loss of my friend and former stunt double Tony McFarr. We did several movies together. We golfed, drank whiskey, smoked cigars, and spent endless hours on set. I’ll never forget his toughness. I remember he took a nasty shot to the head (in the title sequence of Guardians 2) and got several staples in his head – he came right back to work ready to go again. He was an absolute stud. He was always a gentleman and professional. He’ll be missed. My prayers go out to his friends and family, especially his daughter.”
