HARDMAN Jason Statham is prepared to star in a romantic comedy – but only if Hugh Grant asks him personally!
The British actor — best know for starring in action films The Transporter and The Expendables – says he’d branch out into softer roles if Grant was prepared to coach him.
“I’m not sure I’m cut from the right cloth,” he said.
“Maybe if Hugh Grant hangs up his hat and he asks me to fill his boots, then I might. I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Jason — who is currently promoting his new movie The Mechanic — was recently asked if he enjoys doing press.
“I’ve got to be a good actor and say ‘yes, I love it’,” he replied.
“Some actors say that they do the acting for free and they get paid to do the promotion. I can see where the inspiration for that saying is. But, you know – we have to do it don’t we.”
