Jason Statham when he was a professional diver

Jason Statham with the bottle opening challenge

I never knew Jason was a professional diver!

China's Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan won gold in the women's synchronized 10m platform diving event with a performance that was so synchronized and flawless, they appeared as one diver while jumping from a side view.👏

Before he became a Beekeeper

Jason Statham and the Rock had one of the best filmed Prison Fights

He didn’t start diving until he was 15 - at least 7 years AFTER you’re supposed to !!! He relied on sheer athleticism - he was an excellent footballer, swimmer and martial artist, he saw someone diving whilst on holidays with his family and decided to try that. He was known for being absolutely fearless….

Meanwhile, when you lied on your resume to get the job 😂

I can't help wonder why this is part of what sets him apart from most current male leads. He has a sense of self built on accomplishment, not simply a life of make-believe.

He also was a backup dancer in music videos

Now I know why he’s not afraid to do those silly stunts
