ACTION MAN STATHAM SENDS CO-STAR TO HOSPITAL WITH CONCUSSION
Actor JASON STATHAM’s co-stars were so keen to make the British action man look good in scenes for new movie CRANK, one ended up with concussion after almost putting his head through a helicopter window.
The SNATCH star plays an adrenalin-chasing gangster in the high-energy new movie and despite taking on a number of stunts himself, he was one of the only people involved in chase and fight scenes left uninjured.
He says, "JOSE PABLO CANTILLO, who plays RICKY VERONA (in the film), sustained a concussion to the head when we were flying in the helicopter because you get a bit carried away and you get a bit pumped.
"It’s a very enclosed tight space that you’re fighting within. On a reaction to one of my punches he oversold it and hit his head only to make me look good.
"He went flailing back and smashed his head on the top of the helicopter.
They whisked him away but we’d already shot the scene. He’s such an intense man - a very competent mix martial artist himself, and a great actor at that.
"As for me, I was pretty much OK. I got through."
