Sean Gunn says he has retired from on-set motion-reference work for Rocket Raccoon, saying he feels too old for its physical demands. He said crouching and repeated pivots strain his feet and ankles; no one has called him back, but he doubts he could do the work now.
On The Brandon Davis Show, Gunn said he turned 50 a couple of years ago and believed the work had affected his physiology over time. He said the discomfort was in his feet and ankles, not his knees.
Gunn provided on-set motion reference for Rocket in all three Guardians of the Galaxy films, released in 2014, 2017 and 2023. Bradley Cooper voiced the character.
