Mutiny and The Beekeeper star Jason Statham has an impressive filmography despite starting his acting career in his 30s. In his younger years, Jason Statham had a passion for sports, namely diving and swimming, and that is when he was chosen to work for a sports-modeling agency — all while selling jewelry on the street, like his father did. While on a modeling gig, he was spotted by Guy Ritchie, who got him his first movie acting role in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels back in 1998. This was the start of a prolific, action-packed career for Statham.
