Jason Statham (pronounced /ˈsteɪθəm/;[2][3] born 12 September 1967)[4][5][6][7] is an English actor and martial artist, known for his roles in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels; Revolver; and Snatch. Statham appeared in supporting roles in several American films, such as The Italian Job, as well as playing the lead role in The Transporter, Crank, The Bank Job, War (opposite martial arts star Jet Li), and Death Race.

Early life
Statham was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.[7][9][10]. He moved to Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where he chose not to follow his father's career working on the local market stalls, and decided to pursue the arts. He also played football for the local grammar school (1978–83) having started at the Grammar school at the age of eleven, but his real passion was diving. He practiced daily in perfecting his diving techniques — in particular, he finished 12th in the World Championships in 1992.[11] He was also a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for twelve years.[12][13]
Statham's life in media began when he was spotted by a talent agent specialising in athletes while training at London's Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. Afterwards, he became a model for the clothing brand Tommy Hilfiger.
