Action star Jason Statham, who will be thrilling audiences soon with his new movie Crank High Voltage, was spotted enjoying a bit of beach fun with some friends in Malibu, CA this weekend … behold:

You know, the man looks good when he’s clothed and dry … when he’s half nekkid and wet, well, yeah. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about this actor that I have loved ever since I saw him in the first Transporter movie. While the hey day of the action hero movie star is a thing of the past, I love that Jason Statham can exist as a new, gentler (and sexier) kind of action hero. Crank was a madcap adrenaline-filled romp of a movie and I understand that Crank 2 is even more raucous. Alls I know is any movie that features Jason Statham in any state of undress has a pretty good chance of getting me to pony up for a ticket. Oh la la, indeed.
