<p>The actor paid tribute to the bravery of stuntmen, who he called his “best mate” in the film industry.</p>
<p>Statham, who stars in spin-off Fast &; Furious Presents: Hobbs &; Shaw, is well-versed in the dangers of the action genre and has wished a speedy recovery to Mr Watts who was injured on-set in Hertfordshire.</p>
<p>The professional was flown to hospital with a serious head injury following a reported fall at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden on Monday, where filming was halted on Fast &; Furious 9.</p>
<p>Statham paid tribute to the selflessness of the specialists in danger, and expressed his sadness at the news of the serious injury.</p>
<p>Speaking at the premiere of Hobbs &; Shaw in London, he told PA: <em>“It’s a very, very concerning thing when someone gets hurt. The families have to endure that difficulty.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s awful. We have to try as best we can to try and mitigate those things.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s absolutely awful news, and we just wish him the best.”</em></p>
<p>He added: <em>“They are really the unsung heroes. They are the ones that put themselves in harm’s way to make other people look good.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s a real selfless act.”</em></p>
<p>Statham, who has starred in numerous action roles throughout his career, said the professionals who risk their safety in stunts are his best friends on set.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“Stuntmen have always been my firm favourite on any movie set. I’ve worked closely with them for many years.</em></p>
<p><em>“I have to hone these action moments and fight sequences, hand-to-hand combat. We train all the time.</em></p>
