Eminem seemed to enjoy taking on the role of his own stuntman while filming his ‘Houdini’ music video.

After releasing his latest visual, a modern twist on his 2002 ‘Without Me’ video, which debuted on May 31, the 51-year-old rapper shared a blooper reel on Instagram on Monday, June 10.

In the video, Eminem, dressed in his familiar superhero costume from the earlier video, playfully captions, “I do my own stunts.”

With a deadpan expression, Eminem humorously advises viewers, “Don’t try this at home,” before proceeding to do takes involving small jumps off a bed and comically face-planting on the floor multiple times.

“Oh, you want me to smack my f---ing face? I can’t control my cape, bro,” he says sarcastically to someone off-camera. “I cannot be responsible for my cape.”

In the video, the rap star struggles to climb a wall with a rope, flailing around and flipping over. He jokingly expresses surprise, "Holy s---, it’s actually not easy." In another scene, he tries some playful superhero moves, saying, “You like the roll? I thought I killed it.”

The behind-the-scenes footage ends with the Grammy-winning rapper filming a slow-motion punching scene with his blond Slim Shady persona. The camera then cuts to Slim Shady mentioning that his shoe came off during the takes.

Eminem’s official ‘Houdini’ video features cameos from Pete Davidson, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and Shane Gillis.
