Movie legend has died today in a tragic car accident

Itโ€™s a โ€œlegendโ€ that MAD MAX stuntman Grant Page died in a scary car accident.

He was 85 years old.

The Australian star was driving alone when he crashed into a tree, which made the police and fire departments rush to the scene.

Even though police and ambulances arrived quickly, the movie star tragically died.

His 49-year-old son Leroy called his dad a โ€œlegendโ€ and said he was working on upcoming movies.

He told the Daily Mail Australia, โ€œHe died in a very good mood and with a lot of drive.โ€ He was blissful.

Not much else is known about the accident that happened in New South Wales on Thursday.

Page was in a number of well-known action movies, such as The Man from Hong Kong, Deathcheaters, Roadgames, and Stunt Rock.

He had most recently worked on Three Thousand Years of Longing and Furiosa, a prequel to Mad Max that will come out later this year.

Friends in the business have paid tribute to the stuntman, who first appeared on the scene in the 1970s.

โ€œGrant Page was Australiaโ€™s first stunt performer and my friend for fifty-two years,โ€ his former manager Brian Trenchard-Smith said yesterday.

โ€œIโ€™ll really miss him. He was an amazing person who lived a completely honest life.

โ€œAge makes us heavy, gravity pulls us down, and death waits for us if we dare too much,โ€ Grant said, โ€œNot necessarily, since he was able to change the rules of physics and probability.โ€

He had a โ€œextraordinary abilityโ€ as a stuntman, Trenchard-Smith said.

โ€œHeโ€™s the guy you get to dodge the cars, slide down the cliff on fire, jump into the water and fight the shark.โ€

Jamie Blanks, an Australian director, also wrote online, โ€œI just learned the terrible news that my dear friend and legendary Australian stuntman Grant Page has died.โ€

For me, Grant was one of the most wonderful, kind, and brave men Iโ€™ve ever known.

โ€œThe death of this Australian legend makes me very sad today.โ€ Grant, please rest in peace.โ€

Dr. Luke Buckmaster, an Australian film critic, called him โ€œbrave, audacious, and devilishly cheeky.โ€ He also said that he left a legacy โ€œwritten in tire streaks and burn marks.โ€

โ€œTransferโ€ was the name of one of his iconic moves.

He jumped from one car window to another while they were both going very fast down a road.

Pageโ€™s four sonsโ€”Leroy, Adrian, 52, Jeremy, 51, and Gulliver, 47โ€”along with his ex-wife Joy and ex-partner Ulli will miss him.
