Jason Statham was photographed for the first time on Saturday for his new movie, The Beekeeper.

Crew members had closed the Kingsferry Bridge between Sheppey and Sittingbourne for 48 hours so they could capture footage, including a photo of a car hurtling towards the River Swale, sending a dummy flying into the air.

In an interview with Great British LIFEshe said, “I’m a country girl at heart…
“I spend a lot of my time in LA, which is wonderful. I also spend a lot of time in other major cities. There may be the glamor and the fun to enjoy in a city, but the real beauty is in the countryside and especially in my native country, where the people are so nice and willing to smile willingly for no specific reason.
“The outside smells so fresh and I still love seeing the sheep, the pigs, the ducks, chickens and of course the horses. When I’m here and I really don’t like to be away for long, I find it all so relaxing and wonderful. It’s my home.’
Exciting: The thrilling scenes were shot on the Kingsferry Bridge between Sheppey and Sittingbourne
Dramatic: Fortunately, the figure wearing the orange suit is just a dummy

They welcomed their son, Jack, a year after her beau got down on one knee, Rosie said ET in 2018 that the wedding was not a “big priority.”
She said, ‘We are looking forward to that time. It’s not a big priority for us either; we are so happy. I think it will be fun to do it when the baby is a little bigger and he can be involved in the wedding.”
