About Jason Statham
Meet Jason Statham, a talented English actor born on July 26, 1967! Statham gained fame for his tough, hard-boiled, and often violent characters in action-thriller films. His passion for Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate began in his youth, and his love for sports led him to become a member of Britain's national diving team. He even competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games!
Before his acting career took off, Statham modeled for popular brands like French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's. His experience working at market stalls paved the way for his casting in Guy Ritchie's crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). These films' success led to Statham's leading role in the Transporter trilogy (2002–2008), solidifying his status as a Hollywood action star.
Throughout his career, Statham has appeared in various heist and action-thriller films, including The Italian Job (2003), Crank (2006), War (2007), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Spy (2015), and Mechanic: Resurrection (2016). Although some of his films, like Revolver (2005), Chaos (2005), In the Name of the King (2007), 13 (2010), Blitz (2011), Killer Elite (2011), Hummingbird (2013), and Wild Card (2015), received mixed reviews, Statham's involvement in the ensemble action series The Expendables (2010–2014) and the Fast & Furious franchise brought him back into the limelight.
In the Fast & Furious franchise, Statham plays 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 even served as a co-producer for Hobbs & Shaw, earning his first production credit.
Statham's acting has been met with mixed reactions, with some critics praising his ability to lead the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s. According to a BBC News report, his films from 2002 to 2017 generated an estimated $1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) in ticket sales, making him one of the film industry's most bankable stars.
