Garrett Hedlund has described filming the stunts required for the upcoming film Tron Legacy as "physically demanding".
Speaking to 2 Magazine, the actor admitted that he and co-star Olivia Wilde found the sci-fi epic's shooting schedule to be a challenge.
"Yes, the film was filled with action. Between parkour, capoeira and the motorcycle riding, it's one action-packed sequence to another," he said.
"The wire works and doing the stunts was physically very demanding. Being on that journey with Olivia was a great experience. I'd be dropping 40 feet from a wire rig as she was doing spin kicks in heels. We were in it together."
Hedlund also remarked that he enjoyed wearing the helmets and costumes required for the part, even though they could be restricting at times.
"It's not easy at the start, but like anything else, you kind of get used to it. But being able to wear these suits was such a thrill," he said.
