Jason Statham was visited on the set of The Bank Job, by one of the perpetrators of the real-life heist the movie was based on.The Brit plays the member of a gang who robbed a central London bank in 1971.None of the thieves were ever arrested and the stolen money was never recovered.The British Government also banned the media from reporting on the case - prompting conspiracy theorists to speculate the authorities were hiding something.But Statham's research into the role was made easier, thanks to a mysterious on-set visit.The actor reveals, "We were very lucky. One of the chaps came to the set. We tried to keep his identity undercover. He didn't want to glamorise himself. A lot of people thought he was my dad coming for a set visit. Remarkably he looked a lot like me."He told us some great stories about the day."
