Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/ STAY-thəm; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor and producer. He is known for portraying tough, gritty, or violent characters in various action thriller films and has been credited for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s. By 2017, his films had grossed over £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion), making him one of the industry's most bankable stars. While working at local market stalls, Statham began practising Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate recreationally in his youth. An avid footballer and diver, he was a member of Britain's national diving team and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's in various advertising campaigns. Statham's history of working at market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Both films were commercial hits, and they helped catapult Statham to stardom. He played supporting roles in the American action films Turn It Up (2000), Ghosts of Mars and The One (2001). From 2002 to 2008, he played the title role in the first three films in the Transporter film series (2002–2008), which solidified his status as an action star. In 2003, he appeared in the ensemble heist action film The Italian Job. He went on to play leading roles in the commercially successful films Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Homefront (2013), Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), The Meg (2018), Wrath of Man (2021), Meg 2: The Trench (2023), and The Beekeeper (2024). Statham has also starred as Lee Christmas in the ensemble action film series The Expendables (2010–2023) and as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise (2013–2023), including the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which he co-produced. His voice acting work includes the documentaries Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance (2002), Truth in 24 (2008) and its 2012 sequel, and the animated film Gnomeo & Juliet (2011).

It’s Gnomeo and Juliet’s wedding anniversary, there’s going to be a big party, with all the ornaments from the neighbouring gardens invited. Gnomarella is desperate to go but her cruel stepmother and stepsisters laugh at her, and tell her no one will want a filthy and cracked servant girl at such an elegant affair. Gnomarella’s fairy godmother (a Christmas decoration from the attic) comes and grants her wish to go the party. With a wave of her wand, Gnomarella is clean and crack free, with a beautiful new paint job. Sadly this will not last, and the fairy godmother warns her she will be back to normal at midnight. Gnomarella has a wonderful time, and falls in love with The Gnome Formerly Known As Prince Gnoming (AKA Prince Gnoming, the new gnome in the Capulet/Montague garden), when midnight strikes Gnomarella runs away, but she trips and her foot breaks off forcing her to hop all the way home. Prince Gnoming won’t rest until he finds the mystery girl, and goes around every garden searching for the owner of the left behind foot. The Stepmother, determined to get into a nicer garden (their own is untended and overgrown), breaks off one of her own daughter’s feet to trick him into thinking the foot belongs to her. Prince Gnoming sees through their ploy when Gnomarella reveals herself. Prince Gnoming uses superglue to stick her foot back on and whisks her away from her wretched life…and they live happily ever after.
