Daniel Radcliffe, renowned for his iconic role in the "Harry Potter" film series, takes on the role of executive producer in a new HBO documentary. This documentary delves deep into the extraordinary journey of David Holmes, Radcliffe's longtime stunt double, and the enduring friendship that has blossomed between them.

Watch the official trailer for "David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived," a film that charts the life and career of David Holmes. He served as the stunt performer doubling for Daniel Radcliffe in the first six installments of the Harry Potter film series. Tragically, Holmes suffered a spinal injury during a stunt testing accident while filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in January 2009, which left him paralyzed and reliant on a wheelchair. Despite these physical limitations, Holmes continued to push boundaries and lead an active life. Notably, Holmes launched the "Cunning Stunts" podcast alongside his friend and colleague Daniel Radcliffe, featuring interviews with fellow stunt actors to raise awareness about the risks they face.

Directed by Dan Hartley, "David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived" is slated to premiere exclusively on HBO MAX on November 15th. This documentary promises to deliver a moving and inspirational look into the life of a remarkable individual and the bond he shares with the star he doubled for.
