Actor Jason Statham has endured “many injuries” over the course of his acting career. The 55-year-old actor has performed a variety of stunts in various action films over the years and has ended up with injuries such as a torn bicep and almost “faceplanted” the ground at a speed of 30 miles per hour, reports ‘Female First UK’.
Jason told Collider: “There have been a couple of situations. I think when we shot ‘Crank’, we were hanging out of a real helicopter. “A lot of the things we do now – with ‘The Expendables‘ – anytime you’re on a helicopter it’s usually on a green screen. But with ‘Crank’, we were actually in a helicopter. We’re shooting a fight scene where I was standing on the skids, we have a small pick there. So it was a real stunt, you know, that one was pretty tricky”.
Jason Statham further mentioned, quoted by ‘Female First UK’: “There (were) a couple of jumps in that movie, over this car park, I was hanging on a gold tail, it’s quite almost like a blind jump. There (were) a few things in that gig that were pretty tricky. I did a little jump in the ‘Transporter 2’, or a jump from the back of a jet ski onto the back of a bus. It wasn’t a very safe stunt. I shouldn’t have done it, there was no safety wire, but I just did that. I mean, if I’d have missed the back of the bus, it would have been a faceplant at 30 mph into the concrete. Just silly things that I’ve done.”
