Body Doubles Do More Than Stunts3

They may also be used as stand-ins for magazine photo shoots. Oprah Winfrey has a body double for this purpose. According to some reports, China’s super rich can hire a body double to appear in court and serve time for a crime. Body doubles can also act as political decoys.
