But Jason Statham has shown a whole new side to his acting repertoire in a new but very surreal advert for LG’s new smartphone, the G5.

Turning on each other: If that wasn’t enough action for the one-minute clip, the ad starts with exactly the same amount of gusto, as a fight breaks out between two disheveled Jason’s on the subway.
