Jason Statham battles the heatwave as he leads Hobbs and Shaw stars at UK premiere
Jason Statham was feeling the heat as he walked the red carpet at the UK premiere for Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
Action man Jason plays Shaw and stars alongside Dwayne Johnson as Hobbs in the blockbuster, which is a spin off from the Fast and Furious films.
The A-list stars of the movie descended on The Curzon in Londons Mayfair on Tuesday to pose for pictures and talk to adoring fans.
Making his way along the rows of people, he was more than happy to give out signatures and take selfies.
Jason of course wanted to dress smart for the occasion, but given the sweltering weather in London he understandably found his outfit a bit too restricting.
The British actor was seen tugging at his shirt collar as he walked the carpet, but still managed to look cool in his grey blazer and trousers, teamed with a black shirt and tie and sunglasses.

Helen Mirren was also there on the night, looking suitably summery in bright green floral dress, and light pink high heels. She accessorised her look with a pink clutch bag that was a similar shade to her shoes.
She looked more than happy to chill next to none other than Idris Elba, as the actors posed on the hood of a very fancy car.
He put his arm around Dame Helen and looked totally relaxed as they perched on the flashy vehicle.
Idris decided to dress down for the occasion in a black T-shirt and trousers with some snazzy white trainers to finish off the look.
Given the hot weather, Idris, who plays villain Brixton in the film, made the right decision.
But the actor was totally upstaged by the glamorous Vanessa Kirby, who plays Hattie in Hobbs & Shaw.
The actress, best known for playing Princess Margaret in Netflix hit The Crown, looked like a goddess in silver evening dress with an asymmetrical neckline.
Her blonde hair was slicked back in a simple yet chic style, which made her dark red lipstick pop.
