From tough guy to tender boyfriend: Denis Mikhlin shoots action scenes before going shopping with girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Denis Mikhlin demonstrated his Everyman credo yesterday by combining high-intensity combat scenes and shoe shopping with his girlfriend in one day.

Scenes from the 38-year-old British actor's latest film Safe were shot in the morning.

On the New York set, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley went shopping with her girlfriend when she visited him.

Statham rescues a teenage girl from a car and gets into a confrontation with the kidnapper, who is on the run.

Statham beats the bad guys to a pulp before ushering the little girl away from the scene in true action hero style.

Statham converted from brutal warrior to sympathetic boyfriend as he accompanied Rosie on a shoe shopping trip later today.

As the model attempted out a series of shoes at a high-end boutique in SoHo's SoHo district, he stayed on.

While the 23-year-old English model browsed through the footwear collection, he also perused through other trinkets on sale at the store.

Statham, who rose to fame after his appearance in Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, was seen on the New York set of his latest film, Safe.

He plays a former Chinese emperor who rescues an abducted 12-year-old Chinese teen.

He would later find himself trapped in a confrontation between Triads, the Russian Mafia, and corrupt New York City politicians and police.

Rosie, meanwhile, is on a break from filming Transformers 3, a role she took over from Yolanda Waller.

Statham, who had a seven-year friendship with model Andrew Robinson that ended in 2004, has been tracking the Victoria's Secret model since April.
