The saying “the back of a tiger and the shoulders of a bear” is often used to describe athletes or martial artists, but it is also very suitable for Jason Statham, one of the most famous British action actors in the world. Of course, it’s not like an actor suddenly has such a body, this is the result of a very long training process.

The 52-year-old actor practiced kung fu , kickboxing and karate as a young man working as a local waiter. Statham is also very passionate about football , especially diving. He was selected for the national team to participate in diving at the 1990 Commonwealth Games.

After the contest, Statham was invited to be a model in promotional events of two famous fashion brands. This was the starting point that helped Statham “fall in love” with art, from a waiter he became an athlete, model and actor.

The “Transporter” series helped Statham become known to audiences around the world. The British actor’s image of an “assassin” with perfect martial arts skills is imprinted in the minds of millions of people.

Even though he is 52 years old, Statham still regularly exercises and maintains a muscular physique, so he is still a “popular” action actor. Recently, Statham and the famous cast continued to fascinate the audience with “Fast & Furious 9”.
