He's carved a place as one of Hollywood's top action stars of his era, and Jason Statham showed off his fighting spirit during his cover gig for the April 2012 issue of DETAILS magazine.
The "Transporter" stud suited up in Dior Homme as he posed for a Norman Jean Roy shot spread while dishing about topics including Tinseltown politics and not taking his success for granted.
On not taking his fame and success for granted:
“She makes me really happy. When you start, you want to be professional, but when you’re filming those scenes with someone and pretending to love them, you’re not human if you don’t feel something.”
On being helped out by Guy Ritchie when cast in 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels':
"Guy really went above the call for me. Had me up to the house before I met the producers to read through dialogue. 'No, you're doing way too much! The camera picks up more than you think.' Pointers like that."
On his mindset on the film set:
"Just show up and try to find a way to make it come alive. That's a bit like doing your own stunts. Unless you want it, you'll never commit, so you'll only be giving a random percentage. I've done that—where I wasn't true, or, as often, they weren't true."
On his opinion of Tinseltown politics:
"So much of this industry is buried in bulls**t. You're pretending to be something onscreen, fine. But it's also the way it plays out here, every day. Yeah, we love you, can't wait to put you in a movie. It's f**king bulls**t. Not to be entirely negative, mind you, because there's so much talent here, so many people that are righteous. But believe me, there's so much that ain't, and you see that coming in so thick. I did it for a living. I see it before it enters the room. And usually I know just to point my compass elsewhere."
“Gale is someone who want to stand up to this thing but can’t… He’s pretty powerless.”
