The video for Calvin Harris' "Summer" features a cameo appearance by which actor?

The video for Calvin Harris' “Summer” features a cameo appearance by actor Jason Statham. The cameo appears in the glossy 2014 music video, which combines desert landscapes, fast cars, parties and a boxing-themed sequence with Harris performing the song.

“Summer” was written, produced and performed by Scottish DJ and producer Calvin Harris. It was released in 2014 and became one of his major international hits, reaching number one in several countries. The track also marked Harris singing the lead vocal himself, following earlier successes in which he primarily worked with guest singers.

The video was directed by Emil Nava, a frequent collaborator of Harris who also directed videos for several other songs from the Motion album. Statham’s appearance is brief, so viewers may remember the racing and party scenes without noticing the actor immediately.

A common mix-up is confusing this cameo with Statham’s film roles or with other celebrity appearances in dance-music videos. Here, the question refers specifically to Harris’s “Summer” music video, not to the song’s performers or its director.
