3. Jason Statham Also Nearly Drowns Filming The Expendables 3
Bald-headed movie hard-man Jason Statham, who is 46 years of age amazingly, came close to having a fatal accident while on set of The Expendables 3. Statham had a potential drowning situation when working on a scene. The English actor was driving a truck when the brakes failed to work and saw him subsequently drive into the Black Sea. 'We're doing a stunt and Jason was driving the truck. But the truck doesn't stop and it goes over the dock, into the Black Sea with Jason driving. He's in the water, in the truck. Now we are freaking out, everybody's screaming. He gets out, swims to the top, and the truck is gone. Jason Statham is a true bad, bad dude.'- Co-star Terry Crews said. It sounds like a typical story in an action movie, but this time it was completely real. While many people would panic in Statham's situation, the 46-year old does have a reputation for being a genuine tough guy who laughs in the face of danger. Considering how the Transporter star got himself out of the submerged truck and swam to the top, it certainly highlights how he fit's the bill perfectly regarding the genre of films he makes. If only his crewmate wasn't shouting 'Jason!' during the incident, it may have been a very interesting piece of footage to consider using on the film - if not incredibly tasteless, while completely underplaying the seriousness of the accident. Nevertheless, Statham was completely fine after the palaver, and it's unlikely a man so used to on-set injuries will be fretting about this - considering the nonchalant nature of his escape.
