On the set of the new Jumanji movie, actress Karen Gillan has found a unique way to stay comfortable between takes. She has enlisted Tanoai Reed, the stunt double for her co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, to act as her personal umbrella holder.

Reed, who is of similar build to Johnson, was hired early in the actor's career. This long-standing partnership has now extended to include assisting Gillan, showcasing the camaraderie and unexpected roles that emerge during movie production.
