Jason Statham

This is my favourite actor, Jason Statham. He is the protagonist of a lot of famous films. Something of this films are Crank, Thirteen, WAR, The mechanic, ... And the most famous are the expendables and Transporter 1, 2 and 3.  


Statham was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, the son of Eileen and Barry Statham, a lounge singer. He moved to Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where he chose not to follow his father's career working the local market stalls, and decided to pursue the arts. He grew up with Vinnie Jones, alongside whom he would later go on to act. Jones introduced him to football, and Statham went on to play for the local grammar school (1978–1983), which he had attended since the age of eleven, but his real passion was diving.[citation needed] He practised daily in perfecting his diving techniques – in particular, he finished 12th in the World Championships in 1992. He was also a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for twelve years.
Statham's life in the 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 French Connection. 

Here is the trailer of one of his most famous films.
