Jason Statham & Jack Oscar Statham

Jason Statham has risen to be one of the most successful action stars in the movie industry. He was born in 1967in Shirebrook, Derbyshire to a hard-working middle class family. Jason spent his formative years practicing martial arts and playing soccer. He also grew up with Vinnie Jones, a fellow actor and former professional soccer player. Apart from these he had a love for diving, which to his credit, earned him a spot at Britain’s National Swimming Squad for twelve years.

Eventually, Jason would start a modeling career which would garner the attention of distinguished director, Guy Richie. This would mark the beginning of his rise to prominence, as the commercial success of their movies Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, opened the gates of opportunity. He would eventually star in lucrative blockbusters such as The Transporter franchise and The Fast and Furious franchise. Today, the action star is enjoying his time with his three-year-old son Jack Oscar Statham, who will surely have a bright future ahead of him.
