Martin Compston shares 'emasculating' stunt secret from set

The Line of Duty actor, who is 5ft 8in tall, explained that due to his small stature, women have had to stand in as his body doubles.According to Compston, the show's producers were unable to find any male actors small enough to stand in for him as the oil rig worker, Fulmer Hamilton, during set-up for shots.Compston shared this information on his Restless Natives podcast, adding that having women as his body doubles is"quite an emasculating thing".

He revealed that when male actors have attempted to stand in for him, they would often adopt awkward positions, such as spreading their legs, in an attempt to appear smaller."When we are getting changed people will come and stand on our mark for the cameras. "I have always got the best-looking stand-ins because mine are always women because they are smaller.He added:"They have got to try and match your height for the camera."When you walk on and you see some d**k doing that in front of you're like 'F*****g hell man'."
