Jason Statham was born on 26 July 1967 in Shirebrook, Derbyshire,[5][6] the son of Eileen (née Yates), a
dancer, and Barry Statham, a street seller.[7] His father also worked odd jobs as a house painter, coal
miner, and singer in the Canary Islands.[8] He 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 the age of 11, a passion that he shared with diving.[9] He practiced daily in perfecting his diving
techniques, and was a member of Britain's National Swimming Squad for twelve years.[10][11] Statham
competed for England at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in the 10 meter, 3 meter, and 1 meter
competitions.[12] He said in a 2003 IGN interview 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".[13]
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 Levis for various modeling contracts during their 1996
spring/summer collections.[14] 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."[6]
However, he was still forced to follow in his father's footsteps as a street seller to make ends meet,
selling "fake perfume and jewellery on street corners" according to Statham.[15][8] 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,[16] and "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by The Beautiful South in 1995.[17]

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."[26] 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, ds role as Chev Chelios in the 2009 sequel Crank: High
Voltagerab affair", but credit 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".[27]
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."[28] He reprised hi.[29] In 2010, Statham appeared alongside fellow action
stars Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, and Mickey Rourke, among others in The Expendables. Statham plays
Lee Christmas, a former SAS soldier and expert at close quarters combat using knives.[30]
