Happy Birthday! Jason Statham Turns 49 Years Old

Today is Jason Statham's birthday.

A well-known action and adventure star, Statham has headlined some of Hollywood's most adrenaline-pumping franchises. He has starred in the Transporter series as Frank Martin, the Crank series as Chev Chelios, and the Expendables series as Lee Christmas. He held a memorable role as the villainous Deckard Shaw in Fast & Furious 7 as well, and the surprisingly comedic role of Nick Wild in Paul Feig's Spy.

Statham is returning as Shaw in the upcoming Fast 8, and will also be reprising his role as Arthur Bishop for Mechanic: Resurrection, which he stars in alongside Jessica Alba and Tommy Lee Jones.

Statham's other memorable films include The Italian Job, Revolver, Snatch, and Parker. Born in Shirebrook, England, Statham turns 49 today. Happy Birthday, Jason Statham.
