Twitter This summer's box office hit Mad Max:Fury Road had quite the romantic sub-plot!
It's a story right out of the movies. Stuntman and stuntwoman meet and fall in love while rehearsing action-packed scenes for two of Hollywood's hottest A-list stars.
Dane Grant, a trained stunt performer, was on set of the re-make of the post-apocalyptic action thriller filling in for Tom Hardy during rehearsals (he ended up being the stunt double for a War Boy in the film) for the epic fight scenes when he spotted the woman who would one day be his wife.
Twitter Dayna Grant was doubling for Charlize Theron, a task she had already done for the blond beauty in Snow White and the Huntsman.
"I saw Dayna straight away—she was the only girl from New Zealand and she stood out like a sore thumb," Dane told stuff.co.nz. "I saw her bag with her name on it and my opening line was literally, 'Hi. I see you're Dayna. I'm Dane.' That was about it."
Seriously? Their real names are Dane and Dayna. Could this be any more perfect?! (Well, yes, because they're both stunt performers.)
"So the two of us were doing this—dare I say – very S&M-type fight, it's a love/hate mixture between these characters," Dane continued. "They're very close, there's chains, they're holding each other in very intimate positions, and the longer we were doing it the more we're kind of eyeing each other up."
Twitter "We've said it before and it's quite cheesy, but it really was love at first sight. While we were punching each other we were falling for each other—quite rapidly."
Swoon!
The cheesier the better if you ask us! Dane and Danya have been married for three years now and have an adorable son named Ryder. When the duo aren't shooting stunts for Hollywood's top stars they are busy running the NZ Stunt school back home.
Way to make that office romance work out!
