Can you believe that our beloved soap set in London, EastEnders, has served as an inspiration for some major Hollywood movies? It's true! Throughout its run, the show has given us some jaw-dropping stunts - from car chases to fires to even a bus crash that caused quite a stir. But did you know that its impact goes beyond the small screen and has influenced movies in the big leagues?
One of the masterminds behind these impressive stunts is none other than Lee Sheward, a skilled stunt expert with an impressive resume that includes blockbuster hits like Mission: Impossible and Hot Fuzz. However, for fans of the BBC One soap, he's also known for his work on the show. Since 2008, Lee has been a part of 44 episodes and has brought his talents to some of the most iconic moments, including the 2010 live episode where Bradley Branning fell off the roof of the Queen Victoria. Most recently, he worked on the highly anticipated Christmas Day 2023 episode where Linda Carter committed murder in thrilling scenes.
In an interview with the Watchcast Podcast, Lee shared how his time on EastEnders has influenced his work on other Hollywood blockbusters, such as the 2012 film The Cold Light of Day. He recalled an instance while directing a show in Spain where he had to put together a 100-car chase in a short amount of time, and the producers were amazed at how quickly he and his team were able to do it. Lee revealed that he learned these skills from his time on EastEnders, and the producers were quite surprised to hear it. But as Lee said, it's all about taking the best of both worlds - the big action from bigger shows and the speed from smaller shows - to create the perfect stunt.
