I recently watched the latest Fast and Furious [1] movie, The Fate of the Furious [2], which is full of very bald, very muscular men. But while Vin Diesel and The Rock certainly have their charms, we're here to discuss one in particular: Jason Statham. In addition to coming away from the movie with a newfound respect for submarine captains [3] everywhere, I couldn't help but wonder why he — who has been entertaining us for years in action movies like The Italian Job, The Transporter, and Furious 7 [4] — has yet to reach full-fledged sex symbol status here in the States. I voiced this opinion to my mom as I left the theater, who told me it's probably because "he looks like a British Q-tip." After deleting her number and blocking her on Facebook, I immediately rounded up a collection of extremely attractive photos of Jason to prove her wrong, which you can enjoy at your leisure below.
Every male celebrity does the "Excuse me, I'm just buttoning my jacket" pose, but no one does it as well as him. Let's be real.
If you squint your eyes hard enough, you might be able to see yourself in the reflection of your computer screen. It's almost like you're sitting on that couch with him.
Yes.
Kinda looks like he's going to put me in a headlock, kinda into it.
"Holy sh*t, Terry Crews is ripped!" you might thinking to yourself. Well, I didn't even notice Terry Crews.
C'mon. That smile? C'mon.
This is probably what hugging him is like.
Kinda looks like he's going to kill someone, still kinda into it.
GQ should only hire Jason Statham look-alikes from now on.
Behold, an extremely hot version of the Arthur's fist meme.
Me yesterday: not a fan of ombré sunglasses.
Me today: the proud owner of stock in ombré sunglasses.
Yep.
