John Krasinski Reveals He Wasn't Supposed To Be In A Helicopter Scene for 'Jack Ryan'

John Krasinski isn’t afraid to do his own stunts.

The 43-year-old The Office actor revealed that one of his scenes for Jack Ryan was originally supposed to be done by his stuntman.

“The craziest one was I am thrown out of a Blackhawk helicopter,” John said of action scenes that really stood out to hime.

“It’s in the trailer, so I’m not giving too much away,” he said, not wanting to reveal too much about the upcoming third season.

“And that was not supposed to be me. The stunt guys in the morning had done five or six takes and done a great job, and it was one of our ex-Navy SEALs who were lucky enough to have consultants from the CIA, from the military. And he said, ‘It would be a lot cooler if you did it,’” John told ET Canada.

“And I said, ‘How would that work?’ And he said, ‘Well, how it would work is if I just unbuckled your seatbelt and threw you out right now.’ And he did it right then and there on the show,” he continued.

John then jokingly revealed the name of the ex-Navy SEAL stuntman and said, “His name is Kevin Kent, and he should be in jail.”
