"Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding."
~ Jason Statham
Who doesn't like Jason Statham -- this awesome movie star has appeared in movies such as The Transporter series, Fast & Furious series, The Expendables series, and many more successful action movies.
But perhaps the most interesting thing about Jason Statham is his background. This action star came from nowhere. He was a street seller in Britain, but now is one of the most successful movie stars of Hollywood. Now that's a story worth making a movie about.
Another interesting thing about Mr. Statham is that he is probably one of the few guys who look better bald than they would have looked with hair.
About Jason Statham's Real Height
It is amazing that one of the most popular action movie stars, Jason Statham is an average-sized guy. Aren't action stars are supposed to be big guys? Maybe not, because big action heroes would need even bigger villains.
Anyway, Jason himself once claimed to be five feet ten inches tall. That's a reasonable claim, he looks around to be somewhere in the neighborhood -- but probably on the south side of it.
In the movie, The Expendables, Jason looked around the same height as Sylvester Stallone (5'9"). If anything Jason Statham could be closer in height to another 5'9" tall British actor -- Tom Hardy.
The real height of Jason Statham is
5 ft 9 in (175 cm)
