Jason Statham Biography
The popular British actor was born in 1967 in London, according to the horoscope he is Virgo (September 12). His parents were creative people: his father is a singer, and his mother is a dancer. In addition to vocal work, Jason's father was also interested in boxing and gymnastics (acrobatics) and taught his two sons (Jason was the youngest). The boys spent their free time from school at the battles with each other, and, of course, the older brother almost always defeated the younger. However, Jason did not give up and studied the technique of defense. Later, he became seriously interested in kickboxing, which later came in handy in his film career. After all, films with Jason Statham are always full of various fighting scenes in which the actor can more than show all that he is capable of. In addition, as a young man, he was seriously fond of diving and even played for his country at the Olympics in Seoul (1988).
The beginning of an artist’s career
In the late nineties, he was invited to appear in jeans advertising for his excellent physique. This was the beginning of his career as a model and actor. Since the owner of the company, whose products were advertised by Jason (or Jay, as his friends and acquaintances called him), became the general producer of the film "Cards, money, two trunks", he invited the director of this picture Guy Ritchie to take on one of the roles of handsome Jason, which then turned 30 years old. Jason successfully passed the screen test and starred in this crime drama. And it is with this film that the filmography of Jason Statham begins. The picture was quite successful, and Guy was satisfied with the new artist. Thus began a collaboration between a talented director and an equally talented actor.
Second picture
After filming the first film, Guy shot Jay in another movie - “Big Jackpot”. Here his kickboxing skills came in handy. The role was small, and the main characters were played by Brad Pete and Dennis Farina, but Jason fit so well into the plot of the picture that his role had to be rewritten and expanded a bit. On the set of this film, Jason had the opportunity to watch the game of already famous actors and gain experience. However, he realized that in scenes where martial art was needed, he had no equal. And this gave him confidence that soon he would star in the New World.
Way to Hollywood
The year 2000 was his debut in American cinema. He played a minor role in the movie "Make It Loud", immediately after that he was entrusted with the main role in the fantastic thriller "Ghosts of Mars" (directed by John Carpenter). This fantastic motion picture, like other films with Jason Statham, was liked by the viewer, and he was soon invited to play a role in another mystical blockbuster - Confrontation.
True triumph
From 2000 to 2002, Jason managed to star in several Hollywood films that made his name more or less recognizable among the American audience, but the film “Carrier” brought him incredible success. The audience liked it so much that the authors of the picture had to shoot a few years later the continuation of this picture: “Carrier-2” and “Carrier-3”. Such a colossal success not only on the American continent, but around the world did not expect even the creators of the picture. The role was played by Jason more than "excellent", and he strengthened his position in Hollywood.
Films featuring Jason Statham
The same fate befell the picture "Adrenaline." After her triumph on screens around the world, the authors decided to shoot the second part - Adrenaline-2. Now hardly anyone knows who Jason Statham is. Of course, in many of the paintings he starred as a hero, but there are times when he is a fraudster or drug dealer. In both cases, his game is very convincing. Only all his fans still crave to see him in the role of a hero-lover. His beautiful pumped figure can not help but admire. With a height of 176 centimeters, it is so beautifully built that it seems taller. In a word, Jason Statham in any of his roles is sexy and damn charming, which makes his paintings attractive not only to the male audience, i.e. lovers of action movies, but also the beautiful half of humanity. Here he is, this handsome Jason Statham. The list of films with his participation is replenished annually, and all of them become film hits, and his fees are about $ 3 million per film. The artist realizes that with his track record he is unlikely to ever receive an Oscar, and is not very keen on this. Although we all know that life is so changeable, and the ways of the Lord are inscrutable, that everything can be possible.
