Jason Statham: biography
Jason Statham is an English actor. He has been remembered by the audience due to his movies "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Snatch" and "The Transporter".
Jason Statham was born in July 1967 in the English town of Shirebrook. The future actor grew in the family of the musician who was playing music for the public in the bars and in the shops. Jason's mother was a dancer. Except for Jason in the family, there was one elder son. The men in the Statham's family were seriously engaged in sports. Jason's father Barry Statham was a gymnast and a boxer. Jason’s elder brother practiced boxing, quite often training on his younger brother, using him instead of the punching bag.
Except for martial arts, Jason himself was also fond of soccer. But swimming was his favorite kind of sport and in future, the actor would achieve considerable success in this sport. Jason Statham had been the part of the national team of Great Britain, specializing in diving for more than 10 years. In 1988 the swimmer even participated in the Olympic Games in Seoul. In 1992 Statham managed to take the 12th place at the world championship.
Jason helped his family financially. The guy was involved in the street trade, as such business brought income. The future actor was selling perfumery and cheap jewelry.
Once this handsome and attractive athlete (Jason's growth is 178 cm, his weight is 83 kg) when he was swimming in the pool, was noticed by the advertising agent of Tommy Hilfiger brand. Jason was invited to advertise brand jeans. As a result, the future actor had been working in the model business for some time.
Movies
The cinema biography of Jason Statham had begun rather suddenly. The owner of Tommy Hilfiger brand decided to invest his money and began to produce the debut movie "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" directed by Guy Ritchie. Having read the script, the businessman remembered Jason and recommended the actor to the British director. The beginning director had become interested in a manly candidate for the role whose appearance was suitable for the character. Guy Ritchie became more interested in the personality of the guy who was advertising brand clothes.
Later Statham told that the film director had given him a task: to force the buyers to pursue jewelry, pretending that it was gold. The future actor had coped brilliantly with this task. Moreover, he masterly refused to take back the sold trinkets. Having passed this "examination", Jason Statham received the role in the cult picture, and from that moment his outstanding career as the actor at cinematography had begun.
After his first picture recognized with a number of prizes and prestigious awards, Guy Ritchie began to work on the following picture under the title "Snatch". It was planned that the American actors Brad Pitt, Dennis Farina and the Croatian actor Rade Šerbedžija would play the leading roles. Ritchie invited Statham to take part in this movie, and at first, he offered the actor to play the supporting role - Jason had to play the organizer of the underground fights. But during the process of the shootings, the duties of the actor had changed and the British actor became the main voiceover story-teller. The movie "Snatch" gained less popularity than the previous movie, but Statham received another wave of spectators’ love and fame.
Later the actor from Shirebrook once again appeared in the picture "Revolver" which was directed by the same Guy Ritchie. The film critics considered that the cinema biography of Jason Statham had begun with the movies directed by Ritchie. Moreover, the experts claim that this director "had created the new star of the world cinema".
At the beginning of 2000, Statham became popular in the movie industry. The British actor had his debut in the American cinema as a drug dealer in the picture "Turn It Up". Then there was a range of the following successful movies: "War", "The Italian Job", "The One", "Ghosts of Mars" and "Crank".
The gripping movie "The Transporter" directed by Luc Besson became the real breakthrough for Statham. The role of the character Frank Martin brought to the actor huge popularity. His sports training appeared to be useful to Jason, as the physical activities let the actor perform dangerous tricks without doubles and stuntmen. The box office from the release of was huge. Statham had made a fortune, having received for this movie a fee of nearly $1 million. Later, the sequels to this movie were released which also brought high grosses.
Statham is one of the most respectable and favorite actors of Sylvester Stallone. The celebrities performed together in the picture "The Expendables" which was directed by Stallone. Other prominent representatives of the world cinema also participated in this movie: Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke.
The latest films with the participation of Jason Statham became "Safe", "13", "Parker", "Mechanic", "Homefront", "Killer Elite", "Wild Card" and "Spy". The film critics consider roles in these pictures not less successful, than in "The Transporter" which made Jason the star of the world cinematography.
The movie "Parker" didn't become a breakthrough for Statham. The picture wasn’t discussed a lot, but the actor commented on his participation in this work and also in other movies of the similar genre more than once, calling the action movies "his genre".
"It is easier for me to judge the fighters on the part of the participant of the production. And so, the most unpleasant thing in the pictures of such genre from the point of view of the actor who takes part in them — is the fact that it’s difficult to find a role, which you can play and get 10 out of 10, as they say, I mean that both the story and special effects should be good enough, and all the rest too. It’s fair for all the kinds of movies and in general, you always want to make something better, than you did before", – Statham noted. The actor confessed in his interview to the journalists that the roles in the fighters were more suitable for him than the roles in melodramas or serious psychological movies. According to the words of the British actor, the public also loves him for these movies, and he feels confident in such pictures as he can realize his actor's potential fully. As the film actor claims, he enjoys demonstrating his strength in the action movies.
The words of the celebrity are confirmed by Dennis Gansel - the director of the new part of the movie "The Mechanic" who noted that Statham is a real star of the action movies. Gansel notes that Jason copes with dangerous scenes on his own, and it allows the actor to develop his career in the cinema as a stuntman.
In 2015 Jason Statham admitted in his interview to the American mass media that he would participate in the movie "The Fate of the Furious". Soon after this information was confirmed, Statham played the role of Deckard Shaw. It is the expected sequel to the movie "Furious 7", the movie became the most high-grossing project of 2015.

- Actor
Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor. He is known for action-thriller films and portraying tough, irredeemable, and machiavellian characters.
Statham began practising Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate recreationally in his youth while working at local market stalls. An avid footballer and diver, he was a member of Britain's national diving team and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's in various advertising campaigns. His past history working at market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000).
The commercial success of these films led Statham to star as Frank Martin in the Transporter trilogy (2002–2008). After starring in a variety of heist and action-thriller films such as The Italian Job (2003), Crank (2006), War (2007), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Spy (2015), and Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), he established himself as a Hollywood leading man. However, he has also starred in commercially and critically unsuccessful films such as Revolver (2005), Chaos (2005), In the Name of the King (2007), 13 (2010), Blitz (2011), Killer Elite (2011), Hummingbird (2013), and Wild Card (2015). He regained commercial success as a part of the ensemble action series The Expendables (2010–2014) and the Fast Furious franchise. In the latter, he has played Deckard Shaw in Fast Furious 6 (2013), Furious 7 (2015), The Fate of the Furious (2017), F9 (2021) and the spin-off Fast Furious Presents: Hobbs Shaw (2019). He was credited as a co-producer on Hobbs Shaw, receiving his first production credit.
Statham's acting has been criticised for lacking depth and variety, but he has also been praised for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s.[1] According to a BBC News report, his film career from 2002 to 2017 generated an estimated $1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) in ticket sales,[2] making him one of the film industry's most bankable stars.[3]
Early life
Jason Statham was born on 26 July 1967 in Shirebrook, Derbyshire,[4][5] the son of dancer Eileen (née Yates) and street seller Barry Statham.[6] His father also worked odd jobs as a house painter, coal miner, and singer in the Canary Islands.[7] Statham moved to Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where he initially chose not to follow his father's career working the local market stalls, instead practising martial arts. He grew up with football player Vinnie Jones, alongside whom he would later act. Jones introduced him to football, and Statham went on to play for the local grammar school (1978–1983), which he had attended since age 11, a passion that he shared with diving.[8] He practised daily in perfecting his diving techniques, and was a member of Britain's National Swimming Squad for 12 years.[9][10] He competed for England at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in the 10 metre, 3 metre, and 1 metre competitions.[11] He said in a 2003 interview with IGN that his time with the national squad was "a great experience" and one that "teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble".[12]
Statham's life in the media began when he was spotted by the agency Sports Promotions specialising in sports modelling while he was training at London's Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. He was also signed by Tommy Hilfiger, Griffin, and Levi's for various modelling contracts during their 1996 spring/summer collections.[13] In 1997, he became a model for the clothing brand French Connection. A spokesperson for the high street clothing chain said, "We chose Jason because we wanted our model to look like a normal guy. His look is just right for now: very masculine and not too male-modelly."[5] However, he was still forced to follow in his father's footsteps as a street seller to make ends meet, stating that he sold "fake perfume and jewellery on street corners".[7][14] He made small appearances in a few music videos, including "Comin' On" by The Shamen in 1993, "Run to the Sun" by Erasure in 1994,[15] and "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by The Beautiful South in 1995.[16][17]
Career
2000–2010: Rise to prominence
Statham in 2007
While working as a model for French Connection, he was introduced to fledgling British director Guy Ritchie[18] who was developing a film project and needed to fill the role of a street-wise con artist. After learning about Statham's past as a black market salesman, Ritchie cast him to play the role of "Bacon" in his 1998 crime comedy thriller Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.[19] The movie was well received by both critics and audiences, and helped put Statham in the public eye. For his role in the film he was paid UK £5,000.[7] Statham's second collaboration with Ritchie came in the 2000 film Snatch, playing the role of "Turkish". Cast alongside popular actors Brad Pitt, Dennis Farina, and Benicio del Toro, the movie earned more than $80 million in box-office revenue. For his role in Snatch, he was paid UK £15,000, 3 times the amount of his first film.[7] Statham was able to break into Hollywood and appeared in two movies in 2001: the science fiction action horror film Ghosts of Mars and the science fiction martial arts action film The One.
Statham was offered more film roles, and in 2002 he was cast as the lead role of driver Frank Martin in the action movie The Transporter, written by Luc Besson. He has studied Wing Chun, karate, and kickboxing.[20] The film spawned two sequels, Transporter 2 (2005) and Transporter 3 (2008). He also played supporting roles in Mean Machine (2002), The Italian Job (2003),[21] and Cellular (2004) in which he played the lead villain.
In 2005, Statham was once again cast by Ritchie to star in his new project, Revolver, which was a critical and box office failure.[22] He played a dramatic role in the independent film London in 2006. That same year he played the lead role in the action film Crank. Statham was asked to promote Crank during the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con Convention.[23] In 2008, Statham starred in the British crime thriller The Bank Job and Death Race, a remake of Death Race 2000 (1975). American film critic Armond White hailed Statham's ascension as an action film star. On the occasion of Death Race, White championed Statham's "best track record of any contemporary movie star."[24] Later in 2008, White praised Statham's Transporter 3 as a great example of kinetic pop art. Chris Hewitt of Empire Magazine, noted the film as "a dour, drab affair", but credited the film with "establishing Statham as a new action hero, as at ease with gruff one-liners as he was with Jackie Chan-esque high-kicking".[25]
In 2009, Statham started to develop a new movie written by David Peoples and Janet Peoples. Statham stated "We've got a movie we're trying to do, written by David Peoples and Janet Peoples, in the vein of an old film, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It's not a remake or anything, but it's a little bit like that, about relationships and how greed contaminates the relationships these three people have. The working title is The Grabbers."[26] He reprised his role as Chev Chelios in the 2009 sequel Crank: High Voltage.[27]
In 2010, Statham appeared alongside fellow action stars Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke, among others, in the ensemble action film The Expendables. Statham plays Lee Christmas, a former SAS soldier and expert at close quarters combat using knives.[28] The film was commercially successful, opening at number one at the box office in the United States, the United Kingdom, China and India, and grossed a total of $274 million worldwide.
2011–2015: Commercial expansion

In his first film of 2011, Statham starred in the remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film, The Mechanic, as Arthur Bishop. A theatrical trailer depicting Statham's character "shooting a man's head off" was banned from circulation by the Advertising Standards Authority for showing excessive violence.[29] His role in The Mechanic was positively reviewed by the critics both in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Guardian praised his performance as possessing a "now-customary efficiency" in attaining "an entertaining hitman thriller".[30] The New York Times noted Statham as "sleek as a bullet"; and the film "a more powerful recharge" of the original.[31] UK newspaper, The Daily Telegraph hailed Statham as "England's best export to action movies in just about forever, a businesslike brute with gentlemanly soul."[32] He returned to British film by starring in the police drama Blitz as Detective Sergeant Tom Brant. The film received mixed reviews with Cath Clake of The Guardian reviewing it as "not half bad" and "oddly entertaining".[33] He was then cast in the action film Killer Elite. The film was based on real events, which were the subject of Sir Ranulph Fiennes' novel The Feather Men. Statham played an assassin named Danny who comes out of retirement to save an old friend, played by Robert De Niro.[34] The film grossed returned a negative budget, and was panned by the critics.[35]
In August 2011, he began filming Parker for director Taylor Hackford; the film was released in January 2013. Statham played Parker, the criminal antihero previously played by Mel Gibson in 1999's Payback and by Lee Marvin in 1967's Point Blank (though their characters were given different surnames).[36] A. O. Scott of The New York Times said of the actor in the film: "[Statham], who seems to be made entirely of muscle and scar tissue, is comfortable with his limitations as an actor. His Parker, in any case, is more of an axiom than a fully rounded human being."[37] A 2012 BBC News report estimated that his ten-year film career to date (2002 to 2012) yielded over one billion dollars in the box office, making him one of the industry's most bankable stars.[2] He was signed on to reprise his role as Lee Christmas in The Expendables 2 in 2012.[38]
Statham (centre) at the 2014 Cannes Film FestivalIn 2013, Statham had a cameo appearance at the end of Fast Furious 6 as the brother of the film's antagonist Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).[39] He reprised the character, this time as the main antagonist, in Furious 7, which was released in April 2015.[40][41][42] He also starred opposite James Franco in the thriller Homefront, written by Sylvester Stallone,[43] and headlined the British thriller Hummingbird. The latter film was praised by critics for pushing Statham's acting abilities to new heights. His "attempt to develop his 'brand' by trying more adventurous parts" noted by The Guardian's Mark Kermode, "[broadened] his dramatic palette".[44][45] Statham made a cameo in the 2014 music video Summer of Calvin Harris as one of the car racers. In 2014, he returned as Lee Christmas in The Expendables 3. Although critically panned,[46] the film would go on to gross $215 million against a $90 million budget.[47]
In 2015 he starred in the action comedy Spy alongside Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, and Rose Byrne. The film, a commercial success, was particularly praised for showcasing Statham's comedic side in contrast to his more serious roles.[48][49][50][51] According to an article by Empire magazine, a Spy 2 was development in late 2015, with more screen time dedicated for Statham's character, Rick Ford.[52] He was nominated for the Critic's Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy for his role in Spy.[53]
Statham was offered a three-film contract to reboot the Transporter series in late 2015, but turned it down because he was not given the script before the signing date and unhappy with its compensation package.[54][55] According to an article by The Guardian, Statham expressed interest in playing James Bond in the upcoming Spectre film. Its author, Steve Rose noted that "there was no doubt Statham can walk the Bond walk. And talking his talk can hardly be an issue with a character whose accent has fluctuated between Sean Connery's Scottish brogue and Timothy Dalton's Welsh."[56] After the interview there were multiple calls from critics and the public to instate him as James Bond in a future film.[57][58][59]
2016–present: Continued success
The sequel to his 2011 film The Mechanic was scheduled for production in late 2016 and announced to open as Mechanic: Resurrection. The film went on to become highly commercially successfully in international film markets grossing $109.4 million worldwide.[60] According to Forbes, the film was Statham's "seventh-biggest earner" and most commercially successful solo film venture of his career.[60]
In February 2017, he starred alongside Gal Gadot in a 30-second super bowl advertisement for Wix.com during Super Bowl LI.[61] CNET reported that the advertisement reached 22 million user impressions.[62] Statham was asked to re-join the Fast Furious franchise once more in 2016. The ensuing film, The Fate of the Furious, was released in April 2017 to commercial success. While the film overall received mixed reviews, Statham was praised for his comedic timing and onscreen chemistry with contemporaries.[63][64][65] The film went on to be the third highest-grossing film of 2017 and the 12th highest-grossing film of all time.[66][67]
Spy 2 was confirmed on 15 February 2018.[68][69] But later in 2018, Feig explained that although a sequel to Spy could still happen, "there hasn't been any interest from the studio" in the project.[70][71]
Statham played the lead, former Naval captain Jonas Taylor, in the 2018 action-horror film The Meg, which was released on 10 August. In order to prepare for scenes wherein he swims in shark-infested waters, Statham swam with bull sharks in Fiji.[72] The film would go on to gross $527.8 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing U.S.-Chinese co-production of all time.[73]
In 2019, Statham reprised his role as Deckard Shaw again in Fast Furious Presents: Hobbs Shaw, a spin-off of the Fast Furious franchise focusing on his and Dwayne Johnson's characters.[74][75] The film grossed $758 million worldwide, becoming the tenth highest-grossing film of 2019, and received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for Statham's performance.[76]
Public image
A large exposé by Adam Gabbatt in The Guardian noted that Statham's character contributions to his industry and film niche are "tough [and] uncompromising".[77][78] Some critics note his presence as a "defining feature" that signals to movie-goers the content of a film.[79] The same exposé commented, "You know what you're getting with a Jason Statham film. He will beat people up. He will crash cars. He will do an unconvincing American accent."[77] Statham's impact on the action-thriller genre has been seen by Gabbatt as a replacement of the same undertaken by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Jean-Claude Van Damme during their runs as headliners throughout the 1980s and 1990s.[77] Statham himself cites Stallone, Bruce Lee, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood as his inspirations.[80]
An article by Times Higher Education reported that Manchester University Press commissioned an academic study analysing the impact Statham has had on the British and American film industries from his debut in 1998 to 2018. According to the article, professors Steven Gerrard and Robert Shail are looking to show "the changing face of British cinematic masculinity" into "one that embraces cinema across a wide range of projects, but one that also uses cross-textual media in his output".[3]
In popular media
In 2003, Statham appeared in three British television commercials for the Kit Kat chocolate bar. Described as a "break philosopher", he philosophised about salmon swimming upstream, a Mexican fisherman, and the relative speeds and ages of animals, before ending with a reminder that "taking a break" (alluding to the Kit Kat slogan) is an important part of life.
In the comic book series Ultimate Spider-Man, that series' version of the villain Vulture was rendered by artist Mark Bagley to resemble actor Statham, as per writer Brian Michael Bendis' instructions.[81]
In the Twenty One Pilots song "Pet Cheetah" released in 2018, Statham is mentioned in the lyrics.[82]
Personal life
Statham has been in a relationship with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley since 2010.[83] The couple announced their engagement in January 2016.[84] Their son, Jack Oscar, was born in June 2017.[85] They reside in Beverly Hills, California.[86]
Statham enjoys wakeboarding, jet skiing, wind surfing, and rock climbing.[80] While filming on location in Varna for The Expendables 3, he drove a truck off the road into the Black Sea due to malfunctioning brakes.[65][87] In a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, he advocated for stunt performers to be given their own Academy Award category: "All of the stunt men—these are the unsung heroes. They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They're risking their necks. And then you've got poncy actors pretending like they're doing [the stunts]."[79]
