Once Olympic diver, fashion model, and black-marketeer, Statham came to idea of acting through way “street theater”. Although Statham had the inherited background to go immediately and directly into entertainment, his first great achievements were closely connected with high dive. Statham was a member of the 1988 British Olympic Team in Seoul, Korea, which brought him the chance for being kept on the National Diving Squad for 10 years.
Impressed by Statham’s past and influenced by his modeling career, famous producer Ritchie invited him to perform a part in the film and Ritchie hired him.
This heretical auscultation brought Statham’s a great opportunity to stair at pedestal, big screen debut as Bacon, one of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels’ four primary characters. Bacon was a provider of a street-smart discipline and without restraint the other characters lack and a sense of modesty so characteristic to Ritchie’s film. Ritchie impressed with Statham’s performance, rehired him for his sequential crime comedy, Snatch, where he performed Turkish, a smalltime hood complacently attempting to burst into the world of subterranean boxing.
Guy Ritchie movies were note the only films for Statham to perform brilliantly, in 2000, he made his US film debut as a British drug agent in Robert Adetuyi’s Turn It Up, which brought him other roles in American films.
Movies with Statham’s involvement: Ghosts of Mars, The One , Mean Machine, The Transporter, The Italian Job, Cellular, Revolver , Crank, Crank: High Voltage, Transporter 2, Transporter 3.
