Jimmy Lodge, a renowned stuntman, spent over three decades honing his craft, beginning his career at the tender age of 14 after leaving school. Initially, he had aspired to become a jockey, with the intention of riding point-to-point, but unfortunately, he outgrew the profession.
Instead, Jimmy's passion for the film industry led him to work with his father, and it was through this connection that he landed a job on the set of the 1966 film "Arabesque". This marked the beginning of his journey as a professional stuntman, and he would go on to have a storied career in the industry.
Years later, Jimmy's skills would be showcased in the iconic Bond film "You Only Live Twice", where he performed a daring stunt, sliding down a rope with one hand while simultaneously firing a machine gun with the other. This impressive display of physical prowess and stunt expertise cemented his reputation as one of the most talented and versatile stuntmen of his time.
