Cafe owners gobsmacked as huge Hollywood star pops in – would you have recognised him?

CAFE owners were left gobsmacked when a huge Hollywood star popped in to see them, while filming.

The owners in question uploaded a photo either side of the actor, who rocked a beard in the snap.

And the acting legend could be seen in casual attire, wearing a blue cardigan, dark trousers and boots.

He beamed from ear to ear and placed his arms around the two ladies, as they thanked him for visiting their cafe.

It’s none other than Jason Statham – a star who was actually named the highest-paid Brit in Hollywood last year, raking in £32million.

The caption of the photo read: “A big thanks to @jasonstatham for choosing the magical village of enniskerry for his latest blockbuster. It was an absolute pleasure – esp for @fiona.bourke2 and @lauramac_donald.”;

And fans in the comment section were delighted to see Jason popping into the cafe – which is named Poppies.

Jason has been spotted in various locations in Enniskerry, in County Wicklow, Ireland, – including a salon.

Enniskerry Hair and Nail Boutique shared an update, and wrote: “Preparations underway for filming tomorrow in Enniskerry! We’re so excited to hear that Jason will be in [the] village tomorrow.”;

And they later posted a photo of Jason, and wrote: “The best view in the village.”;

The 56-year-old movie hardman came seventh in a rich list of acting stars published by Forbes last year, tying with Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio and beating Ben Affleck and Denzel Washington.

It’s impressive given that his screen career only began in his 30s – and Jason says he’s “never had an acting lesson”;.

SINCE the early 2000s, Jason has been ­credited for leading the resurgence of action films – and in total his movies have grossed more than £1.5billion at the box office.

Now commanding a hefty £15million per film, his high price tag comes on the back of a ­barnstorming 2023 which saw him starring in Fast X, Expend4bles, Meg 2: The Trench and Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre.

His first movie as a leading man, 2002 smash The Transporter, resulted in a trilogy, and he has since starred in four outings of The Expendables, three Fast & Furious movies as well as a spin-off, Hobbs And Shaw, two Crank films and two outings for The Mechanic.

As for his new film, it’s currently untitled and stars other Hollywood royalty, including Bill Nighy and Naomi Ackie.

The synopsis on IMDB reads: “A recluse on a remote Scottish island rescues a girl from the sea, unleashing a perilous sequence of events that culminate in an attack on his home, compelling him to face his turbulent history.”;
