Paul Weston, Falling For Film, A Stuntman's Early Adventures

The first part of From Sweden with Love reader Paul Weston's memoir is appropriately titled Falling For Film: A Stuntman's Early Adventures. The foreword is written by the legendary director John Glen. Sign up for his newsletter to receive more information. This is only the beginning...

From the bombed-out streets of 1940s London to the dizzying heights of Superman's world, this first part of Paul Weston's extraordinary journey reads like the most thrilling adventure film never made.

Born into a family of nine children in war-torn Britain, Paul began his show business career in the 1960s as a photographic model before fate intervened and he ended up on the set of TV’s The Saint. He was asked to understudy Roger Moore, and a legendary career was born. From doubling for ‘Steed’ on The Avengers and working on classic TV shows like The Prisoner and Space 1999, to singing with The Beatles on Help and dancing with Charlie Chaplin on The Countess from Hong Kong, Paul's early years were anything but ordinary.

From Pinewood Studios legendary stages to Hollywood's biggest productions, Paul's six-decade career has shaped cinema's most defining action sequences. His work spans the industry's most coveted franchises—Bond, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones—while collaborating with visionary directors like James Cameron on Aliens and orchestrating the spectacular stunts of The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989).

This is the beginning of the untold story behind the man and the stunt scenes that defined a generation of filmmaking. This riveting adventure will continue in books two and three.
