Statham Almost Drowns On Set Of EXPENDABLES 3, Shrugs Off Death And Returns To Work Instead.

What's a bit of water in the lungs? Nothing at all if you're former British national dive team member Jason Statham, apparently. Reports have surfaced in Europe that Statham was taken to hospital yesterday, the action star pulled unconscious from a pond after a stunt gone wrong.

What happened? Well, there was a fall into the water, apparently, and a stunt man was all set up to go when Statham insisted on doing the stunt himself. Former diver, puddle of water, what could go wrong? Well, something did, evidently, as he never came up and had to be fished out of the water by support crew. But mere water is no match for Statham who, after being checked over in hospital, returned to work later in the day.
