Jason Statham

Jason Statham is the star of

adrenaline-fueled action movies.
True British coolness combined
with explosive energy made him
a hero of his time
Jason was born and raised in a not exactly exemplary
family. The boy's childhood was spent on the streets of
London, where he got to know the semi-criminal
contingent and learn the dark side of English provincial
life.

Jason has always been an athletic guy. He practiced diving,

kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and other martial arts, which
served him well in the future, and we all know why.

As the actor once said: "I fell in love with training thanks to
my older brother. He practiced all kinds of martial arts, but
unfortunately he practiced his punches on me."
Young director Guy Ricci just needed such a
convincing actor for the role of the "bad guy". The
picture "Cards, money, two barrels" not only brought
popularity to the director, but also became the
beginning of a dizzying career of a charming actor.
A couple of years later, the same director again
invited Statham for another role in the thriller "The
Big Kush". The film became very successful, and
the actor himself received a ticket to the world of big
cinema.
The main role in the well-known crime
thriller "Transporter" made the actor a world-
famous star. Jason Statham's funny quotes
from this picture made him recognizable and
popular.
He starred in such films as "Kostolam" (2001),
"Stilnikovy" (2004), "Revolver" (2005), "Adrenaline"
(2006), "War" (2007), "Death Race" (2008), "Carrier 3"
(2008), "Adrenaline: High Voltage" (2009), "The
Irresistible" (2010), "Mechanic" (2010) and others.
