One is an action star, the other drives all the action on the football field. Netherlands’ goal scoring hero Arjen Robben, whose double goals helped the Dutch to a stunning 5-1 victory over Spain in the ongoing FIFA World Cup, is a dead ringer for Hollywood actor Jason Statham, star of films such as The Transporter, The Expendables, Revolver and Snatch.

Jason Statham, 55, was a keen footballer before eventually turning to modelling and acting. He played a soccer coach in The Pink Panther 2, co-starring Steve Martin and Beyonce.

The 2014 World Cup could prove to be Robben’s last while Statham’s career is still going strong and he may portray the main antagonist in Fast and Furious 7.
