Remember the good ol’ days when you could score a neat collectible at the bottom of your packet of chips? Remember the devastation the hoarder inside you felt when companies stopped providing such trinkets?<br /><br />Don’t get your hopes up yet; we aren’t exactly revisiting this golden era of packaged food again. However, in true ‘<em>Charlie and Chocolate Factory</em>’ fashion, the well-known biscuit brand has offered one lucky individual the chance to experience the ride of their lifetimes. This one-in-a-billion <keyword id="19927125" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian" source="keywords">Indian</keyword> will be taken to <keyword id="19920002" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="space" source="keywords">space</keyword>, courtesy of <keyword id="21780634" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Oreo" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Oreo" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Oreo">Oreo</keyword>’s latest promotional event.<br /><br />Not only will this take the winner to the current most exclusive travel destination available, but they will also become the second Indian citizen to ever go up to "space". According to Oreo, this event is being offered to commemorate the 40th year anniversary of the first Indian to venture into the black unknown, after Rakesh Sharma in 1984.<br /><br />To make this unprecedented journey possible, the cookie company has partnered with the space tourism agency <keyword id="21629522" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Space-Perspective" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Space Perspective" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Space Perspective">Space Perspective</keyword>. The agency’s flagship balloon, called “<keyword id="19901149" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Neptune" source="keywords">Neptune</keyword>”, can float passengers one lakh feet (approx. 30 kilometres) to the “edge of space”, no prior training required. Since Neptune will float gently to its destination over the course of six hours, the commuters will not have to deal with the pesky G-forces you would otherwise find in a traditional rocket.<br /><br />However, it may be important to note that while the winners will get to float astoundingly high in the sky, the ultimate destination is still nowhere close to what is conventionally considered “outer space”. According to most regulatory bodies, the <keyword id="21720822" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="edge-of-space" source="keywords">edge of space</keyword> begins at the Kármán line, a point 100 kilometres above the mean sea level, above which any high-flying vehicles become termed as “spacecrafts”.<br /><br />Nevertheless, if the event goes through as per the company’s expectations, Oreo may end up taking the second Indian to space a year before the Indian Space and Research Organisation (<keyword id="19915124" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ISRO" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="ISRO" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="ISRO">ISRO</keyword>), albeit not nearly as far. <br /><br />According to the latest estimates, ISRO’s Gaganyaan mission aims to send three astronauts to an orbit of 400 km in 2025. Meanwhile, Oreo’s website notes that the grand winner will “receive” their prize by July this year. However, the biscuit brand’s flight will only take the winner to a height of just over 30 km — less than 10% of the height planned under the ‘Gaganyaan’ mission.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How can I sign up?" comment="subhead" text="How can I sign up?"><span data-til="noop">How can I sign up?</span></cmsannotation><br />In order to participate in the event, you will need to purchase a special edition ‘Space Dunk’ pack of Oreos, which will be available in the Indian market between May and June. Once you acquire one, scan the QR code on the packaging to sign up for the lottery.<br /><br />The mega-price winner will relish a majestic view of the planet from a “Space Lounge”, alongside a world-class meal and a “Space Spa”. And don’t worry about bathroom jitters — the spacecraft comes fitted with a bathroom and Wi-Fi as well!<br /><br />As per the company, one individual will win the grand prize to space, while 25 others will win a free trip to the Astroport Sariska resort in Rajasthan. Moreover, 60 people can also win a telescope worth Rs 30,000 (probably to watch the floating balloon!).<br /><br />“All of us at some or the other point in time have wondered what it would be like in the outer space,” explains Nitin Saini, Vice President of Marketing at Oreo-parent Mondelez India. “And I am very happy that as a brand we are able to offer an Indian a chance to embark on this journey and experience the grandeur of space.”<br />

THE LEBRON JAMES INTERVIEW: The world's best athlete reveals how his team pulled off the greatest comeback in NBA history

<p>Beefcake actors have stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton.</p>
<p>The Brit gymnast and former semi-professional soccer player has doubled for Christian Bale in "<keyword id="14470" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="The-Dark-Knight">The Dark Knight</keyword> Rises," Ryan Reynolds in "The Green Lantern," and Daniel Craig in "Quantum of Solace."</p>
<p>In November, he appears as the God of Thunder, played by Chris Hemsworth, in "<keyword id="1144882" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Thor-The-Dark-World">Thor: The Dark World</keyword>."</p>
<p>Voted number six on our "<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sexiest-people-behind-the-scenes-in-hollywood-2013-8" target="_blank">Sexiest People Behind The Scenes Of Hollywood</a>" list, Hanton is certified by the U.K.'s stunt registry in gymnastics, trampolining, high-diving, kickboxing, swimming, and scuba diving. </p>
<p>Days after wrapping production on "Jupiter Ascending," a sci-fi action-adventure film starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis due in theaters next summer, Hanton tells Business Insider about his career in being badass.</p>
<h2>Bobby Holland Hanton reveals the most intimidating stunts, what the A-list actors are like off-camera, and which superhero he'd most like to suit up as.</h2>
<p><strong style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"><br /></strong></p>
<p><div class="image-container float_left"><div class="image"><p class="source"><a href="http://bobbyhollandhanton.co.uk/">Do Not Use</a></p><p class="caption">Hanton trains three hours a day, twice a day, six days a week.</p></div></div></p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">BI: What was your first movie job?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: I got a call out of the blue to audition to double for Daniel Craig in "Quantum of Solace." It was a dream come true. I went in for four or five vigorous exercise auditions; six weeks turned into six months, and I've never looked back.</p>
<p><strong>BI: What's a typical audition test like?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: It could be something very specific: dive through a car, fight someone, be thrown into a wall. It depends on your speciality and the shot they're looking for.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">BI: Do you ever dress for the part at an audition?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: First impressions are very, very important in what we do, so I make an effort to make myself look like the performer as much as possible. When I heard there was a possibility that the stunt coordinator on "Thor: The Dark World" wanted me to double for Chris Hemsworth [who's 6'4"], I got some two-inch lifts for my boots and started training in them. It's like trying to do stunts in high heels.</p>
<p><strong><div class="image-container float_right"><div class="image"><p class="source">Courtesy of Bobby Holland Hanton</p><p class="caption">He calculates his workout regime so that his body matches Chris Hemsworth's.</p></div></div>BI: The God of Thunder is a large guy. How'd you keep up?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: Chris is in the best shape of any actor I've seen. He's got huge arms and great coordination. I've never had to train so much in all my life - three hours each session, twice a day, six days a week. If Chris wasn't an actor, he'd be one of the top stuntmen around.</p>
<p><strong>BI: What's your relationship like with the actors you're doubling for?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: If it's a stunt-heavy show, you're generally with the actor every day. We train, rehearse, and shoot with them, so you kind of become a family. It's like, "You've got my back, and I've got yours."</p>
<p><strong>BI: What was it like working with Chris Hemsworth again?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: He's a legend. You can't say anything but nice things about the guy. We're both fans of Ricky Gervais, so we have a lot of laughs on set. You can't always be super serious when the job is so intense.</p>
<p><strong>BI: What can you tell us about "Thor: The Dark World"?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: Lots of fights, lots of wire work. Every day, there was a big-scale or difficult stunt to do. It's going to be action-packed, as you can imagine a "Thor" movie would be.</p>
<p><strong><div class="image-container float_left"><div class="image"><p class="source">Courtesy of Bobby Holland Hanton</p><p class="caption"><keyword id="25718" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="batman">Batman</keyword>, Batman, Bane, and Bane on the set of "The Dark Knight Rises."</p></div></div>BI: Is there a stunt that you're most proud of in your career?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: On "The Dark Knight Rises," when I was Bruce Wayne, I had to climb out of the prison he's in and jump, miss the landing, fall 100 feet, and slam into the opposite wall. It was one of my first ever high-falls, a 100-footer, which is quite a nice feat to achieve for a stunt performer.</p>
<p>And on the set of "Quantum of Solace" in Panama, I had to free jump - no safety wires, no safety mats - from a three-story ledge onto a balcony space <em>while</em> I was being shot at by a SWAT team.</p>
<p><strong>BI: Do you still get scared before performing a stunt?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: If I heard a stunt performer say, "I don't get scared," I wouldn't believe it. There is an element of fear, but that quickly turns into an adrenaline rush that makes you want to do it even more.</p>
<p><strong>BI: We heard there's another accolade you're particularly proud of - you're a Guinness World Records holder?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: Ha, it's a funny story. When I was a gymnast in the U.K., on our breaks, we used to put these little foam blocks between our feet while doing back-somersaults, and let go and try to hit each other with them. I could get it into a basketball net. It was a cool trick, and I thought it would be a good idea to approach Guinness and pitch the record idea to them. They jumped on it and came down to the studios to see how many I could dunk in an hour. Two-hundred and fifty back-somersaults and 24 hoops in an hour - I'd quite like to see someone attempt it.</p>
<p><strong><div class="image-container float_right"><div class="image"><p class="source">Courtesy of Bobby Holland Hanton</p><p class="caption">Thor's costume is one of Hanton's favorites to wear, but it's not the most comfortable.</p></div></div>BI: Obviously your job takes a hefty physical toll. Who do you lean on?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: It's funny because if I call friends or family, they just say, "Stop moaning!" But my mum is always there for me, and I can tell her anything. She keeps me on top of my game.</p>
<p><strong>BI: Whose costume is most fun to wear: Batman, Thor, or <keyword id="17991" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="James-Bond">James Bond</keyword>'s?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: Obviously, Batman and Thor have the standout costumes of my childhood dreams. They were the most enjoyable, but the nicest costume you can have is a T-shirt and pair of trousers with shoes. No wig, no make-up.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">BI: Best job perk?</strong></p>
<p>You get to be in scenes with the likes of Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman ("The Dark Knight Rises"), who are heroes of mine. And every now and then, we get a small acting role.</p>
<p><strong><div class="image-container float_left"><div class="image"><p class="source">Courtesy of Bobby Holland Hanton</p><p class="caption">Hanton said his next project is also doubling for Hemsworth, although he couldn't name it.</p></div></div>BI: Any aspiration to go into acting exclusively?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: I don't want to push my luck. I like that I can go to work with amazing people, do a job that I love, and as soon as it's finished, I can go home and it's just me. When actors become big, they can't really be themselves anymore. Trying to maintain and control a personal life is probably as difficult as the job itself.</p>
<p><strong>BI: Is there a superhero you'd like to be instead?</strong></p>
<p>BHH: I think next would have to be Superman. That's one I'd like to check off.</p>
