Los Angeles, Jan 8 : Actor Jason Statham hated bullies as a child and says that not much has changed since he left school.

Asked about his biggest dislike, the 46-year-old told British issue of HELLO! magazine: "Bullying."

"It's a horrible thing and it's not just about children - adults get bullied all the time, too. People who are in a position of power like to throw their weight around and that becomes abuse," he added.

The "Parker" star says dealing with bullying adults can be much more difficult than when children are getting "pushed around" by their peers.

"When I was a kid, the people that used to push other people around, if someone whacked them, then they wouldn't be pushing people around again. But you can't really do that with adults," he said. (IANS)
