Jason Statham once opened up about why he plays the same roles over and over again and now those comments are going viral, years later.
The 59-year-old actor is back on the big screen in the action movie Mutiny and this continues his streak of saving the day in a thriller film.
Almost every one of Jason‘s movies for the past two decades can be classified as a thriller, except for the 2011 animated movie Gnomeo & Juliet and the 2015 action comedy Spy.
So, why does Jason constantly take these roles?
Back in April 2017, Jason appeared on The Jim and Sam Show and was asked if he ever gets offered parts that are “totally different” than his usual films.
Jason responded, “A mathematician who is going through a bitter divorce? No, I don’t get offered those!”
Jason said he doesn’t want to play those roles anyways.
“I only want to do things I think I could do a good job at and I think I’ll be no good at that. I just, you know, I’m not an actor, really. I used to work with jewelry and pinch jewelry on the streets. I was a sportsman for years. I am not really some thespian who can adapt and chameleon himself into different roles. I just got into this by being at the right place at the right time. I got plucked from obscurity into the movie industry. It’s not like I spent years honing how to do different accents or working on my craft… I accept what I’m good at and just try to go with the flow in that direction,” Jason said.
Amid Jason‘s new movie hitting theaters, the clip has been reshared on Reddit and is getting a lot of attention right now.
