Jason Statham agrees that there should be a category for stuntmen included into the Oscars, which is an issue that has been quietly argued in the background for a few years.
The British actor talked to Vanity Fair where he was asked about his feelings on the issue. "I think it is an overlooked category."
Statham, who is known for doing many of his own stunts, said that especially considering "how much responsibility these coordinators have for some of the greatest entertainment in action movies. I mean, all of the stunt men-these are the unsung heroes. They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They're risking their necks."
He added, "And then you've got poncy actors pretending like they're doing [the stunts]. For me, it's a total injustice. They're the ones getting busy. Then you have some guy standing in front of a f**king green screen screwing his face up pretending like he's doing the stunt. To me, it's like a real farce."
