With friends like these, who needs a mirror?

Michael Douglas finished up production on Ant-Man over the weekend and, to celebrate, he posted a very unique behind-the-scenes look at how the Hollywood sausage gets made.

“Finished my last days on Ant-Man this weekend,” the Oscar-winning actor wrote on Facebook. “Had a great time, a new experience with all these blue screens! These are some photos of myself and Mike Runyard, my stuntman and golfing buddy for the last 26 years, including films like Black Rain and The Game.” A longtime stuntman, stunt coordinator, and second unit director, Runyard has also doubled for Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, and Christopher Walken, among others, and has credits on everything from The Fast and the Furious to Balls of Fury.

Douglas was probably inspired to introduce his stuntman to the world after reading our stories about the world of body doubles and stand-ins, and went one better, sharing photos from their work on those latter two films.

Welcome to the dizzy past:
