“Someone approached me claiming to have a tape of me using terms offensive to the LGBTQ community during a conversation I had with my producing partner, on a movie set five years ago,” Statham, 50, said in a statement to the site. “I have never heard the recording and my multiple requests to hear the recording have been refused.”
Statham, who is married to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, went on to say he has no recollection of the conversation in question. However, he wants to be clear that’s not how he feels about the LGBTQ community adding, “If I said these words, I was wrong and I deeply apologize … While I cannot fix what was said in the past, I can learn from it and do better in the future.”
