After being offered a stunt role in the latest 007 instalment he was on a plane to Istanbul, Turkey.
Once there he was given the Bond treatment in the hair and makeup department before tackling the task of riding over rooftops for what would become one of the movie’s chase scenes.
While this didn’t compare to previous heart-stopping and world-record-breaking stunts the Kiama-born star on two wheels had accomplished, there were dangers.
He had only recently been cleared to ride again following a back injury, and for the Bond film was required to do the stunts without a helmet.
He admitted the stunts across ancient rooftops on a narrow catwalk where there were bits of steel jutting out here and there was challenging.
