'I spent £90k to become an extreme stunt actor - Johnny Depp set me on fire in a bar'

David Cheung was once set on fire by Johnny Depp, but it was all part of the job. David is one of an elite few hundred on the British Stunt Register - and he's worked insanely hard to get there.

The professional stunt performer has undergone the most gruelling tasks and spent more than £90,000 on his training and diet regime. And it's landed him impressive film roles with the likes of Taylor Lautner, Jason Statham and Chris Evans.

From nearly falling off a cliff to throwing up in a swimming exam equivalent to the Royal Marines fitness test, David has endured it all to get to the top. Revealing some of his craziest training experiences, David told the Mirror: "Once I was set on fire and thrown over a bar by Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany."
