Jason Statham admits that he was keen to get stuck into the action side of The Expendables.
Statham joins an all star cast, which includes Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mickey Rourke for the Sylvester Stallone directed and written movie.
When asked if there was anything that he wouldn't do during the press conference for the movie the actor said: "I won’t wear a flowery shirt! It’s all part of the cause.
"I mean the way movies get made when Sly’s in control. He shoots a lot of the stunts in the camera. A lot of the action directors of today tend to rely on the movie as a visual and it becomes very boring because it’s a lot of CG and people don’t really care too much about it.
"When you are doing an action movie that requires real men doing real action, it’s an opportunity to do that [Sly’s way] that’s all we’re looking for.
"We can’t wait to get stuck in and do that kind of stuff.
The British actor has a whole host of movies in the pipeline having completed work on The Mechanic, Blitz, The Killer Elite and has lent his voice to Gnomeo and Juliet.
He has also been linked to Pretty, Baby, Machine and Safe.
The Expendables is released 18th August.
