Scott Adkins: I'm a big Ali G fan

Scott Adkins has teased details about Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming film, describing it as "out-there and shocking".

The 38-year-old actor is set to star in comedy movie Grimsby, penned by the British funnyman and also starring his wife Isla Fisher. The full plot is being kept under wraps, but it is thought the film follows a top spy teaming up with his football hooligan brother to complete a new assignment.

It seems like this opportunity was a long-awaited one for Scott, who appreciates the actor and director's work.

"Yeah, I am. That’s correct. I don’t want to say too much. In fact, I’m not going to say anything. I am a huge fan of Sacha’s ever since Ali G, I think he’s a genius. Actually, on the Undisputed films, when I was doing Yuri Boyka, we would joke it sounded like Borat," Scott told joblo.com. "It was actually pretty last minute; they needed to fill a part and it seemed like I could do the job. I was reunited with [Grimsby director] Louis Leterrier, who directed me in Unleashed way back in the day, I had a tiny part in that. The script is really funny and out-there and shocking."

More recently Scott appeared in the Kellan Lutz-starring movie The Legend of Hercules as King Amphitryon. When asked about his favourite experience of making a movie so far, Scott cited an action-packed flick with big names such as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"I guess I’d have to say The Expendables 2, just because of the amount of famous faces and icons in it. To be on the same set as all those guys at once was amazing, just to listen to all of their stories, that was enjoyable," Scott smiled.
