Jason Statham said that the only thing he wants is to work hard, make money, eat with good people, and love the same woman over and over again. And well, it has turned out pretty coherent for him: he has been with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for years, they have two children, and off camera he seems to live much more calmly than any of his characters.
The phrase caught attention because it goes quite against the image many people have of him. On screen he is always escaping explosions, fighting twenty people at the same time, or surviving impossible situations. But when he talks about his real life, he usually sounds much simpler: work, family, and peace.
And of course, the internet was not going to let the phrase slide that easily. As soon as it started circulating, comments appeared from those who said an important point was missing from the list.
Several joked that he also should have added “keep making the same kind of movies”, because if there is one thing that characterizes Jason, it is that he has spent years perfecting a formula that seems to tire no one out. He drives fast, throws punches, puts on a serious face, and somehow always ends up saving the day.
The funny thing is that it did not even seem like criticism. Rather, it was people acknowledging that, even though his movies resemble each other, they still work. Because in the end Jason Statham found one formula for his life and another for his career… and, so far, neither seems to be failing him.
