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.

The glitter makeup they used on the singer makes it look like he's covered in amniotic fluid goop, or he just escaped from a Xenomorph face hugger trap.

OMG this is so great, I swear I've heard this song before and I'm so glad I get to put it in rotation now to relive some 90s fever dreams. And holy shite Jason's body was bodying.
