Hardman actor Jason Statham grins and spins in the tea-cups
Hollywood hard man Jason Statham’s not known for comedy, but pulled some funny faces in the spinning tea-cups at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland.
The British action movie star, 57, and fiancée Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 37, were among the celebrities to try the thrilling rides at the London festive amusement park.
But the Expendables, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Transporter actor shed his tough guy image as he grinned and grimaced in the tea-cups.
Later he tried his hand at some basketball hoop stall, winning a cuddly toy for his and English model and actress Rosie’s excited young son and daughter.
Last year at the same event Statham was more in his element looking like a movie getaway driver as he crashed and swerved in the Winter Wonderland bumper car ride.

WAG Rebekah Vardy, 42, took some time off from glaring at Coleen Rooney on TV in this year’s I’m A Celebrity to join her family – sons Taylor and Finley, seven, Sofia, 10, four-year-old daughter Olivia, and footballer husband Jamie – for the winter fun in the capital.
She was pictured on swing ride with her daughter Olivia, before later hopping on one of the smaller rollercoasters with the other kids.
Also spotted at Wednesday’s lavish press launch for Winter Wonderland was 50 year-old Vernon Kay, model Lottie Moss, 26, and singer Perrie Edwards, 31.

Solomon, 35, attended the event with her children Rex, four, Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, while Moss cut a chic figure as she wore a red ankle-length fur coat to the opening night of the festive event.
Little Mix singer Edwards wrapped up in a long white fur coat which she donned over a stylish roll neck jumper and matching bucket hat.
Meanwhile Vogue Williams, 39, cosied up to husband Spencer Matthews, 36, as they beamed for photos on the red carpet.
And socialite Tamara Ecclestone, 40, was joined by her husband Jay Rutland and their children Sophia and Serena.
