Many of us spend our full lives trying to make a name for ourselves.However, in today's planet obsessed with social media, most likely the biggest accomplishment is not getting into Hollywood or winning an Oscar – it becomes a meme.
Fortunately for Jason Statham (and risking Western media canceling it), he is both an icon of cinema and individual else – "a large Russian philosopher".Confused?
Like many of his English-speaking fans.
One look at Statham's comments section on Instagram will embarrass you.
Since May, hundreds of Russian comments have been flooded under the actor's posts.
In fact, there are so many comments in Russian that many of his nearly 40 million followers are now questioning his Britishness.“Is he Russian?”– asks 1 of the users under the supervision of the actor ‘The Transporter’.
"Seriously, what's with all the Russian comments, what's going on?"He asks another man.So I took the fall to get all the people who didn't talk Russian out of their misery.In short, it is no secret that Statham is known for his function as hard as a macho male stone in action thrillers specified as “Mechanic’ ‘Indestructible’ or series ‘Quick and angryIt’s okay. ”
Heroes are frequently so macho and impossible to kill that they become the mark of mockery and parody – to the point that writers accepted mockery, combining sarcasm and meaningless quotes.For example, Statham's character in the movie “Spy’ She says calmly: “I watched the female I love get thrown off the plane and hit in the air by another aircraft.Burning, I drove my car off the road to the roof of the train.Not the car: I was on fire.His character in “Transporters’ says “You don’t request your mouth to pee” while in ‘Transporter 2’ “Have a good life... what's left of it“ Right before he kills him.Of course, the fact that Statham's dry British humour and his ability to play roles with a distinctive poker face helped make him 1 of the leading characters in Hollywood – and, as it seems, an even bigger star in Russia.
One of Statham's fans explains: “There was quite a few communities [VContacte] (like Facebook) for “real men”, containing clues and secrets as to how to be a real man, and quotes of celebrated men, and Jason Statham was 1 of the most popular authorsfrom those quotes."Although there was no real proof that he truly spoke any of these words, it became a meme.You can virtually say any conviction that sounds like advice and add here Jason Statham” – adds.Another fan explains how “Russians mock phrases ‘brutha’, attributing it to Jason due to the fact that he looks brutal and could say something similar.
Many childhood phrases can besides be addressed, and that is the most important.
An example might be something like ‘better 10 cm at the front than 20 cm at the back‘ or “As my grandpa said, I am your grandfather.”Indeed, the fact that Statham's actual character reflects many aspects of his Hollywood roles makes his creation in films and memes even more credible.
From practicing Chinese martial arts, kickboxing and karate to selling fake perfume and jewelry on street corners, Statham is simply a self-created alpha male icon – and it turns out to be an perfect mark for memes.Some of the imaginary quotes attributed to Statham under his Instagram posts are: “A weak man makes excuses.A strong man prepared them in advance” and “If you get lost in the woods, go home”, and ‘If you have fallen, stand up.If you get up, fall.”But he's not just "a large Russian philosopher".As 1 of the fans noted, “The Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajiks besides like these jokes.I think all the russian countries enjoy them."However, apart from the fact that Statham's account attracted millions of Russian fans – the number of comments under his posts increased from around 4,000 to stunning 14,000 under any photos – memes had another amazing impact on his English-speaking fans.
Some want to learn Russian now and go to this country to visit it.
“I request to learn Russian as shortly as possible” – says 1 of them.‘Worth’ – says another, and 1 of the followers writes: “I am going to visit Russia shortly and I always wanted to learn Russian due to the fact that it sounds truly cool.”So could Jason Statham make Russia cool again in the West?
Maybe he's the hero of an action that Russia never knew was needed.
Anyway, I'm glad the Russians made English-speaking people want to realize our planet a small bit better – even if it's just a joke.Written by Lubna Hamdan, business writer and talk show “Behind closed doors” on YouTuba
