Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels’ Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher are unrecognizable as they enjoy reuniting with co-star Jason Statham…25 years after the iconic gangster film aired

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels stars Jason Statham, Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher reunited on Thursday night – 25 years after the movie’s release.

The trio, who starred as Bacon, Tom and Soap respectively in the Guy Richie film, enjoyed a mini reunion as they attended a screening of Dexter’s new film Ghosted at London’s Ham Yard Hotel.

While Hollywood hardman Statham, 55, shares many characteristics of his former look, Flemyng, 56, and Dexter, 57, were barely recognizable from their appearances in the iconic gangster flick, in which they played the three leads.

During their reunion, the trio were dressed in contrasting ensembles that ranged from dressy to trendy, as they happily posed together during the show.

Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels followed the story of a man and his friends who lose a poker game to a powerful gangster and must hatch a game to pay off the debt.

Also at the bash was Jamie Oliver, who cooked up a storm for the All-Star contestants – much to Dexter’s delight when he stole a taster.

Hollywood superstar Paul Rudd joined in the fun with Lady Victoria Hervey, who was usually scantily clad in a cheeky see-through bodysuit.

In a strange addition to the guest list, Love Island star Coco Lodge and Too Hot To Handle’s Nicole O’Brien – who no doubt rubbed giddy shoulders with the A-list – emerged from the depths of reality TV.

Ghosted is an American romantic comedy directed by Dexter and written by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, based on a story by Reese and Wernick. The film stars Chris Evans and Ana de Armas

Retiring from acting to get behind the camera, Dexter made his directorial debut with Wild Bill in 2021 before winning critical acclaim for Eddie The Eagle, starring Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman and Christopher Walken.

He also directed the Oscar-winning Elton John biopic Rocketman.

Look who it is! The gang gathered to celebrate Dexter, who was wearing a smart suit and looked a world away from his best with his gray locks.

Flemyng, who also starred in Guy’s follow-up hit Snatch, switched from film to television after admitting he struggled with failed projects.

In 2004, he explained, “Of the 40 feature films I’ve made, 15 never made it to the big screen and were only seen by the cast and crew…

“It’s very frustrating when a film you really believe in disappears unseen. This is not a problem with television. If you’re a painter, you don’t paint a picture and then stick it under the bed, you want people to see it.”

In 2020, Flemyng revealed that the film’s stars were still in touch, saying: “The Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrel WhatsApp group is still quite active…

“Success is very close, so we had that kind of family with Guy and [producer] Matthew Vaughn and Stath [Jason Statham] and Nick Moran and Vas Blackwood and all these guys – and Dex [Dexter Fletcher]apparently.’

Commenting on Dexter’s success, he said: “He was always the best actor and I’ll tell you why – and I think I’m pretty good at it too – we’re so used to doing bullshit that if you give us some bullshit , .” , We’re working on it!’
