| | |  Basketball star doubles for Madame Maxime
Former basketball player Ian Whyte was a body double for Frances de la Tour who plays Madame Maxime, on the set of ' Goblet of Fire'. At 7 foot 1 inches tall, I'd say he was the perfect choice to double a giant! Quote:
His towering 7ft-plus frame made him perfect to work as Hagrid's love interest Madame Maxine.
Luckily, it didn't mean him having to snog Robbie Coltrane, who plays Hagrid! Whyte is actually the body double for the actress playing Madame Maxine's role, Frances de la Tour.
Quote:
"The reason Frances needed a body double for long shots was that Madame Maxine is eight feet tall - my territory. Francis is a lovely lady, by the way."
Quote:
"I can't say too much about it because it's top secret," smiled Whyte, "but for Potter enthusiasts it's amazing, a massive production. It was very taxing because my work was much more technical than on Predator."

Hehe... he's so tall, I'd probably go up to his bellybutton. I would probably look like an Oompa Loompa next to him.  | |

it must be such an interesting job to be someone's body double....and then when watching the movie they can say, 'see that back shot of her....its really me!"

I have to say I keep coming back to this because I can't get the mental image of Hagrid and a basketball player out of my head and the sickness of it is making me laugh so hard I can barely write. | |
