A professional stuntman is recovering from severe injuries after filming for a popular action movie took a turn for the worst on July 22.

Universal Pictures has been forced to postpone production of its latest Fast & Furious 9 movie sequel. That’s after Lead Actor Vin Diesel’s Stunt Double, Joe Watts, severely hurt himself while performing a stunt on the film set at Warner Bros. Studios based in Leavesden, 35 miles northwest of London.
