Following Jon Hamm’s slicing comments, another Hollywood heavyweight is weighing in on the Kim Kardashian brand. When Details asked Jason Statham, the reigning king of action films — and boyfriend of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley — if he thought of himself as a brand he said, “F–k no, why should I?” When asked if he believes people see earnings of $30 million a film as a “brand in need of management,” Statham replied, “F–k ’em. Kim Kardashian’s a brand.” Statham went on to talk about his past as a street hustler in South London and how it prepared him for Hollywood. He said, “See, it’s that necessity for a bargain, that relentless thirst for a discount, that let me create the illusion. That’s what we played on, and, you know, that’s all I ever really knew … So much of this industry is buried in bull—-. You’re pretending to be something onscreen, fine. But it’s also the way it plays out here, every day. ‘Yeah, we love you, can’t wait to put you in a movie’. It’s f–king bull—-. Not to be entirely negative, mind you, because there’s so much talent here, so many people that are righteous. But believe me, there’s so much that ain’t, and you see that coming in so thick. I did it for a living. I see it before it enters the room. And usually I know just to point my compass elsewhere.” On getting an agent, he added: “F–kin’ useless that was.” And, on drama school: “Not for me.” And he described the surfing analogy he uses for an acting career, “They’re all waiting for that wave, but it may never come, so they take what’s offered, paddle back out.” But he adds, “I’m two, three duds from being back on the street. Of course I’m looking for the perfect vehicle, a more intellectual action film, perhaps.”
