> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > But it didn’t work because we’ve seen too many movies where Statham plays the guy who’s calm, cool, and in complete control. You could never really accept the idea that his character could possibly fail to rob the bank - because he’s Jason Statham. Really? May it’s because I haven’t seen many of his movies lately, but to me, Statham will always be the constantly frustrated ne’er-do-well he played in _Snatch_. ---

Healthy: Low body fat, good skin, symmetrical. plus… Full of testosterone: combination of very adult masculine and boyish masculine features including protruding chin and brows, coarse five o’clock shadow, male pattern baldness. plus… swagger: squinty eyes that look like he’s paying attention at you, brooding alpha look, playful boy look equals… hot. ---

Why, because of the whole Ross/Rachel thing..? But even there I would have thought his personality was more annoying than endearing… ---

Bruce Willis is more attractive without the hair but he is getting on in years. Not in as good shape anymore. I would happily cuddle with Statham as he read me the phone book. ---

But even there I would have thought his personality was more annoying than endearing… I think it’s just because he seemed so vulnerable, and was so eager to please. Like a cute puppy dog you could train to do tricks. Or like he was so pathetic you just wanted to give the poor guy a break. I dunno - I liked Chandler the best, myself.
