Legendary Stuntman Grant Page Dies in Tragic Accident
Even though police and ambulances arrived quickly, Australian stuntman and movie star Grant Page tragically passed away following an accident in New South Wales on Thursday. Details about the incident remain limited, but his family and colleagues have been paying heartfelt tribute to the iconic performer.
Page’s 49-year-old son, Leroy, described his father as a “legend” and said he was actively working on upcoming film projects. Speaking to the Daily Mail Australia, he recalled, “He died in a very good mood and with a lot of drive. He was blissful.”
Grant Page was a household name in action cinema, known for films such as The Man from Hong Kong, Deathcheaters, Roadgames, and Stunt Rock. More recently, he contributed his talents to Three Thousand Years of Longing and Furiosa, the highly anticipated prequel to Mad Max.
Friends and industry colleagues have expressed deep sorrow over his passing. Brian Trenchard-Smith, Page’s former manager, reflected on their 52-year friendship: “Grant Page was Australia’s first stunt performer. I’ll really miss him. He was an amazing person who lived a completely honest life.”
Page’s approach to stunt work was fearless. “Age makes us heavy, gravity pulls us down, and death waits for us if we dare too much,” he once said. Yet he consistently defied the odds, using skill and creativity to push the boundaries of physical performance.
Trenchard-Smith praised his extraordinary talent: “He’s the guy you get to dodge the cars, slide down the cliff on fire, jump into the water, and fight the shark.” Page’s groundbreaking career and daring spirit left an indelible mark on Australian cinema and stunt work worldwide.
Though the world mourns his loss, Grant Page’s legacy will live on through the films, stunts, and inspiration he leaves behind—a true pioneer who redefined what was possible on screen.
