Prior to the interview, the Crank actor arrived at the studio dressed sharply in a black suit with a white shirt, narrow black tie, and brown leather dress shoes. Statham showed confidence and style as he wore his distinctive scruff.
Statham appeared on the chat program to promote his latest action picture, Furious 7, which debuted on Friday. The latest episode of the car-centered film stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Kurt Russell, Gal Gadot, and Elsa Pataky.

Statham’s next project is the action thriller Mechanic: Resurrection, which is now in post-production and is expected to be released in January of next year.
