Sportacus to whoop Jackie Chan's ass?

I think most of us here are fans of Jackie Chan and I think most of us here have been shaking their heads in dismay over his recent career choices. Well don't stop shaking just yet cause Jackie is about to get his ass whooped by none other than Lazy Town's Sportacus. I don't know how many of you know the candy colored world of Lazy Town, the hyper positive environment and silly slapstick aimed at small kids and the message that you need to exercise and eat healthy.
That world is the brainchild of Magnús Scheving, an Icelandic fitness champion that started out with a children's book, which led to a stage play, which led to a TV show, which led to a world wide phenomena.
Now Scheving is one fit mofo, doing most of his own stunts, flips and jumps in the show and that apparently got the attention of one of the producers for Jackie Chan's latest US venture, The Spy Next Door co starring George Lopez and Billy Ray Cyrus. The story line revolves around a babysitter (Chan) who has to fight off evil doers when one of the kids he's babysitting downloads a top secret code.
I know, I know.

Scheving will play the main villain, a russian up to no good as they usually are in movies.
Now Scheving was on TV a couple of weeks ago talking about his involvement in this project and showed viewers the screen test he did, using his Lazy Town connections, which apparently sealed the deal for him. He did however say that he was most likely not chosen for his acting ability, he's the first to admit that he's not a great actor, but for his moves and agility of which he has plenty of.
I've crudely cut together the scenes that were shown during the interview so audio will be choppy but all that was shown is there. The reason why I haven't posted this sooner is because I've been having problem with the video file, which you'll see will have a watermark because of Microsoft VS Apple issues. But to hell with it.
Take a look at the video after the break.
