Biography
Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England was the place of birth for Jason Statham, who was born on July 26, 1967. He is the second son of Eileen Yates Statham, a dancer, and Barry Statham, a street vendor who sold inexpensive items, including jewelry, and had a side gig as a lounge singer. It is possible that Jason’s ability to shine in the entertainment industry was influenced by his diverse family background. It was hard for Lee Statham, Jason’s brother, to keep up with his action-star sibling, which was a tough act to follow.

Personal Life

Although they have been engaged for a long time, the couple has not yet married and is instead focused on building their family.
Alex Zosman was Jason’s romantic partner from 2006 to 2010, prior to his relationship with Rosie. He briefly dated Sophie Monk, an Australian actress and singer, in 2005 before that. Rosie has captivated his heart, and they continue to thrive together despite being together for over a decade.
