Jason Statham
Jason was brought up in the sunny seaside town of Portsmouth to an Belgian mother and a Jamaican father by the names of Jennie Jason and (little) Jacob Statham. He developed a taste for swimming at a young age, often swimming out into the high seas and not coming back for months. Fighting with sharks and living off a diet of jellyfish. His parents encouraged him to be a Policeman but he knew what he had to do, become a professional diver.
His career went well for a while but hit rock bottom in the drugs scandal which claimed Peter Walkers life to prison (who died at the hands of the infamous Vin Diesel). Statham, then aged 17, decided to join the marines. He failed. On the search for a new job he was offered the once in a life time opportunity of acting in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. His performance won him a hug from his mother and a pint on the house at the local pub. Despite this he went on to become a world famous Hollywood actor, representing Britain through and through. Recently he finished Death Race, which featured Tyrese Gibson as Machine Gun Joe and a vast amount of other actors nobody has ever heard of or cares about.
He has also done the critically accliamed Transporter 3, earning himself and the film multiple oscars and boo Sting his status to greatest actor of all time. He also happens to be a highly skilled martial artist and speaks 19 languages.
