He is a seasoned action man who has filmed fighting scenes for over 15 years.

And Jason Statham showcased his expertise in throwing a movie punch during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday evening.

The television host asked the 47-year-old star to throw a slow-motion cross at him like they do in the movies.

Statham had his obvious reservations about doing so as he even jokingly picked up a glass of water to pretend he was going to smash it on 47-year-old Kimmel’s head as he said: ‘Well I’d probably pick up this sine I’m from England.’

Kimmel continued: ‘Oh you know what we could do, punch me in slow motion and then when we play this back we’ll speed it up and the audience at home won’t know what the hell went on.’

The Transporter star laughed at the suggestion and obliged to doing a slowed down which was later played back faster which produced hilarious results.

Earlier on in the interview, Kimmel asked the actor: ‘Do you ever in the middle of those things go “what the hell am I doing?”‘

Statham had a humourous response as he answered: ‘It’s totally ridiculous. It’s the stupidest thing you could ever do. It really is.’
