Chris Brown Does 96 Percent of His Stunts in 'Takers'

Chris Brown shows all of his skills in the upcoming movie "Takers" as he did 96 percent of his stunts.

The singer, who plays Jesse Attica - the youngest in a crew of bank robbers- shared, "The most thrilling part about this movie is probably the stunts. I do, like, 96 percent of my stunts. Some stunts they wanna use the doubles; I don't wanna use the double! And they're like, 'We have to for safety and insurance issues.' I think the most exciting parts are the stunts, getting to blow stuff up, shoot guns, you know what I'm saying. It's all fun!"

Talking about his role which is different from his carrer dancing and singing, Brown gave his explanation and said, "When acting, I feel like it's cool to use your strengths, but it's also cool to use your other abilities as well. I didn't just wanna do movies that had consistent dancing and singing. I wanted to do stuff that pushes me as an actor at the end of the day. Because you have people like T.I. and Common that do stuff that's not around what they do in the entertainment industry as far as music, and they succeeded. So I just wanna branch over to that, especially like Will Smith. He comes from rapping and going right into the acting thing, so I wanna come from the singing parts and go into acting, and people can tell the difference. I think that with this role, it was more intense, more action, more stuff that I love to do, what I love to see in movies."

As for Brown's abilities in a show-stealing action sequence including leaps through windows, scales buildings, jumps on cars, his co-star Matt Dillon, who plays as Detective Jack Welles praised and said, "I've never had to do so much running in my life. For that sequence, we were just, like, four days straight, just running through the streets, and this kid Chris is an unbelievable athlete. This guy Chris Brown, he's unbelievable, man. So keeping up with him was a challenge even in itself, which was perfect for our characters."
