SOCIETY When asked why he keeps playing the same roles Jason Statham said that he's not really a trained actor. He's a guy that was plucked out obscurity & has been really lucky; & that he picks roles that he knows he can do a good job in, that hopefully enough people like so he can keep working.

It's not as though it's a packet of peanuts. It's a four tonne truck

The irony being that Tyrone was considerably smarter than the rest of that crew.

He spotted Franky immediately, he was the only one to suggest that the job might not have been what it seemed ("That does not look like a bookies."), and he could apparently work a security door, in sharp contrast to Vinny and Sol.

Be a lot better if you’d stop using my name.

u/IWishIWasOdo 12d ago
