The famous and well-known actor of Hollywood, Jason Statham, if he was not a movie star, he would still be famous, but this fame would not be in the film world, but in the world of sports.
British actor Statham, known for his stellar performances in films, is also a diver, but surprisingly, very few people know about his athletic background.
Speaking to the media at the release of his film nearly 20 years ago, Statham spoke about his time with the British national team before he rose to fame.
He said that his remarkable 12th position in 10m springboard diving was during an event.
Before his break in films, he was also going to represent Great Britain in the Olympics.
It has also been revealed that Statham demonstrated his best diving skills in a scene in The Expendables 3 where he had to jump into the water to avoid a missile.
Statham played the role of a diver in his 2018 film The Mag, while he recently wrapped shooting for his second film.
