Jason Statham is widely popular for his tough guy role in the movies, which is why Jimmy Fallon felt particularly fearful on Wednesday at "The Tonight Show." Statham would be allowed to hit Falllon if the funny host lost a game they played during the show.

Catching a break from his busy schedule, the "Spy" star decided to play a silly game with Fallon.

Fallon explained the game called "Slapjack." It is similar to Blackjack, but as Fallon said, following each round, the winner will be allowed to slap the loser on the face using a gigantic prosthetic hand.

After Fallon explained the game to Statham, he added, "I'm so scared right now."

Fallon's fear can sure be seen as the two prepared for the game. He was laughing nervously during the Slapjack game with the "James Bond" hopeful. Fortunately for the host, Statham isn't so great playing with cards.

After Fallon won the first round, he gave a slap so hard that the British actor was knocked off his chair, reported PEOPLE. As a courtesy though, Fallon allowed Statham a slap at the end of the game.

After the game, Time described it to have contained lots of senseless violence, adding that Statham is apparently getting more British each time he appears in the media.

As for why Statham was the perfect comedic actor for "Spy," co-star Melissa McCarthy explains here. Why a bond hopeful?

Statham plays James Bond's alter ego in Paul Fieg's "Spy," always groping for what to do and a slightly British secret agent

Despite the funny role in "Spy," the English actor has mentioned during an interview with The Guardian that he isn't ruling out the possibility of playing the skilled secret agent that is 007, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"Could I do it? Abso-f-king-lutely," Statham said in the interview. "Would I do it? Abso-f-king-lutely. Is Daniel Craig a great Bond? Abso-f-king-lutely."

He noted though that Bond would be different from what the world has become accustomed to if he plays him. He said in the interview that he would "make a decent Bond," but also that "it'd be very, very different if I did it."

This year, Daniel Craig's contract with the Bond franchise will be ending, meaning Hollywood will once again guess who will be the best man to take the coveted role.

Rumors are already circulating in the British press, but there remains no prospect for the candidate, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
