A Model
How many of us knew that Jason Statham was a model before he became an actor? He didn't like his own smile, so he would pose with a scowl – and this is actually what lead to him being picked for casting by Guy Ritchie, because he looked so tough.
The Ad
Do you remember his part in Kit-Kat commercial? Well, if you don't the here it is, for you.
The Year...
There isn't any clarity on the year he was born in. Some say 1967 while others say 1972.
Street Seller Skills
This man has some amazing street seller skills. For his first audition, Guy Ritchie asked Jason to sell him a piece of fake jewelry for Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. Statham was already so good at it, that he actually left with some of Guy Ritchie's money.
Was Kicked Out...
Jason is possibly the only man who was kicked out of the playboy mansion as he wasn't posing with girls.
An Amazing diver...
The man was an amazing diver as well. He participated in the 10m Platform and the 3m Springboard events for the National British team.
His own
The man is known to do most of his stunts himself!
Failed!
The man failed his driving tests a lot of times! While he's an incredibly talented driver, that doesn't translate into passing the test apparently.
That Arrest
He was once arrested for driving a golf cart. He was caught taking a joy ride on the freeway with Kristin Cavallari after a party at Coachella in 2010, but nothing serious came of the matter.
Himself
Remember the Helicopter stunt in the end of Crank? He performed it himself!
Chinatown
None of the extras from the Chinatown scene of Crank were aware of what was happening. Yes, really!
Almost His Last...
Little that we know is that plane scene from The Expendables was almost his last. Stallone decided to have Statham be the one to fire the nose cone guns on the day of filming the scene, and after the two finished filming, the pilot informed them that the engine was leaking and they were lucky it had managed to stay in the air as long as it had. Now this one was one lucky escape!
Death Race
Remember Death Race? Statham went through incredibly brutal physical training for his role in Death Race.
Chess Master
Jason is an amazing Chess player!
And A Soccer Player!
Jason is an amazing Soccer player as well!
