- Jason Statham doesn't need a stuntman. If Jason Statham is starring in a movie, you best believe that there's going to be some action involved. Whether it's an adrenaline-pumping car chase, a bullet-spraying shootout, or a good, old-fashioned, bare-handed beatdown, the action star seems to feed off of stunt work.

At least, you would be forgiven for thinking it is if you are using Google to try and figure out how old he is. Statham’s birthdate is given as 26th July, 1967 on his “locked” Wikipedia page, and (potentially as a result of this), a slew of other websites also list the actor’s birth year as ’67 – which would make the star nearly fifty years old. Ev...
Eight years before Statham made his film debut in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, he was a professional diver – a far cry from his current status as an action mega-star. His love of diving started in school, and he was a member of the British National Diving Squad for over a decade. In 1990, he was a member of the British diving team competing...
His time as a diver was a springboard (pun very much intended!) to another career – as a male model. Statham was spotted training by Sports Promotions, an agency that specializes in sports models. Lauded for a look that wasn’t the typical “male model” style, he had a semi-successful modelling career throughout the 90s before he became an actor. Sta...
Statham’s first role was as con artist in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels– a case of art mirroring life, as he was supplementing his income by selling stolen goods at the time. Following in his father’s footsteps, he was hustling fake perfume and jewelry as well as a few items that “fell” off the back of a truck… not the most legal profession, ...
When Statham was still a fairly new face on the acting scene, he appeared in a series of TV commercials for KitKat – the chocolate bar with the slogan “Have a break. Have a KitKat”. Airing in 2003, the commercials described Statham as a “break philosopher”, a term coined by the company to describe his unique role in the campaign. Each ad featured S...
More of Statham’s talents include football (aka soccer), and chess – proving that he’s far more than just a guy with a great body who can kick ass on screen. He occasionally plays for the US football club Hollywood United FC – a team founded in the 80s by Sex Pistol's guitarist Steve Jones and some of his British expat friends (all of whom were equ...
Statham has an incredibly distinctive voice, which would prevent him from being the kind of voice actor who takes on ten different characters in a single show… but he has still managed to lend his voice to two video games and an animated film. In 2011’s quirky take on Shakespeare’s classic, Gnomeo and Juliet, the action star voices Tybalt – the Pri...
Statham’s hit movies are filled with incredible stunts and plenty of intense fight scenes, most of which are performed by Statham himself. He’s been quoted as saying that not doing his own stunts would feel like “cheating the audience”, and is concerned about stunts looking fake if too much CGI is used. Some of the various stunts that he’s managed ...
Unsurprisingly for a man who does his own stunt work, Statham has had a few close calls over the years – more than one of which was on the set of the Expendables franchise. During filming for The Expendables 3, the actor was filming a scene that should have seen him drive a truck, stop the truck, get out, and do some shooting. Things went wrong, an...
Many of Statham’s roles revolve around cars – from The Transporter to the Fast and the Furiousfranchise. However, it seems that one of the few things Statham isn’t naturally talented at is actually driving, according to the DVLA (the British DMV). The actor started driving when he was too young to get a learner’s permit, helping his dad with long j...
