Right now before I start lets get this clear I am sure that in real life Jason Statham is a lovely man. He probably takes out the rubbish, buys his mum flowers and never ever leaves his pants on the floor. Let's face it he aint doing badly in the ladies department either. Infact some jealous gents might accuse him of 'punching above his weight' big style as he his currently squeeze is top totty and undie model Rosie Huntington-Whitley (no relation to Richard apparently).
It's not even his name that annoys me although I'm sure its missing an e or shouldn't have the h or something (and hell I've done my fair share of phonics homework recently so I know these things).
My problem with big Jase is his uber prolific film career and the fact that many of the films he's been in are well er quite bad. Lets face it the man won't turn down work. Dodgy gangster - JS is your man, fugitive on the edge of the law - he's there, slightly thuggish but golden hearted footman in Downton Abbey give Mr S a call (not really but maybe next series). The result of this is that there is rarely a night where searching through the many ITV channels (you know the ones which show loop repeats of the Sweeney and episodes of Bullseye where people from Doncaster win a speedboat) you will find one of his films. And husbands who are briefly allowed access to the remote control will find these films and that will be your night and chance to spend hours watching Channel four property shows (come on Kirstie tell them that they don't really need a garage for the sports car cos you can't get a car seat in the back) will be ruined.
Statham attacks can come in the most unexpected places too - recently I settled down with my kids to watch Gnomeo and Juliet. A jolly cartoon about based on the shakespeare play with music by Elton John and thought I was safe. But wait a minute that slightly thuggish gnome called Tybalt has a very familar voice quick check on Wikipedia and there it is voiced by bloody Jason Statham.
Apparently I do not share this dislike as some friends have admitted that they find Mr S to be in their words 'eye candy' and 'tasty'. Not for me personally if I want to see broken nosed and brutal I'll start frequenting the dodgy pub down the road on a Saturday night. This has led to frequent baiting and sharing of photos of Jase on my facebook page with accompanying sarky comments.
So maybe its time to give in to feel the love for the UK's answer to Bruce Willis and admit that I did find Death Race quite entertaining and he does actually look quite hunky in a suit. So now I'll sing it from the rooftops Jase is ace and deserves to be give even more parts in even more dreadful films
- just don't get me started on that flaming Keira Knightly
