Jack Quaid recalls uncomfortable stunt in Companion

Jack Quaid recently discussed a notable stunt in his upcoming film 'Companion' that gave him the 'heebie-jeebies.' The scene, where his character Josh has a car door closed on his hand by his girlfriend Iris, played by Sophie Thatcher, was described as perfectly safe due to a stopper in place, yet Quaid felt uncomfortable performing it and requested a stunt double instead. He attributed his hesitation to a past experience of having a door closed on his hand, which triggered old memories. Quaid praised Thatcher for her even more intense scenes, highlighting the film's blend of thriller and horror elements as Iris discovers she is a robot controlled by Josh. The film follows their weekend getaway that escalates into a survival struggle against Josh and their friends. Quaid's reflections underline the psychological impact of stunts and the challenges actors face in portraying fear and trauma.
