Pontefract Traitors star shares the red carpet with Jason Statham at global film premiere
The Traitors’s Theo Mayne swapped Pontefract for Hollywood earlier this month, rubbing shoulders with action star Jason Statham at a global movie premiere.
Theo, who appeared on the first series of the award-winning BBC show, skyrocketed to fame following his television debut in 2022.
Now, he has taken to the red carpet alongside celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Richard E. Grant and Hollywood A-lister Jason Statham.
The Pontefract star attended the ‘Shelter’ London premiere, held at Cineworld Leicester Square on January 20.
On the incredible experience, Theo said: “ I had the privilege of attending the premiere of Jason Statham’s new movie Shelter — another incredible, action-packed film — and walking the red carpet at an event I never imagined I’d be part of.”
The new film follows Jason’s character ‘Mason’ – a former assassin living in recluse who rescues a young girl from a deadly storm and must protect her form his old foes. Theo continued: “As a Yorkshire lad, this kind of night once felt a million miles away.
"But standing there among star-studded celebrities, press interviews, and photo opportunities really made me stop and take it all in.” Since appearing on ‘The Traitors’, Theo has gone on to be a panelist on GB News and starred in the 2025 Harpenden pantomime, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, at the Eric Morecambe Centre. “Life after The Traitors has been a whirlwind.” Theo stated.
"The show opened doors, but I always knew that what came next would be down to me.
"I’ve never expected anything to be handed to me — I’ve always known I’d have to work hard, stay focused, and keep pushing to stay on top of every opportunity that comes my way. “Attending this premiere under Concord Media was another reminder that consistency, graft, and believing in yourself really do pay off. These moments don’t happen by accident — they come from showing up, putting the work in, and backing yourself even when it feels uncomfortable.” Attending a global premiere will kick off a great year for the Pontefract star, who has big plans for 2026. Theo continued: “It just goes to show: dream big, stay grounded, and never forget where you come from. The journey is only just getting started.”
‘Shelter’ is in cinemas now.
