This is the exact moment Jason Statham got into acting.
Jason Statham landed his first movie role because he successfully scammed director Guy Ritchie during audition and refused to give the money back.
Before he was one of the most bankable action stars, he was a member of the British National Diving Squad and an underground street merchant. He spent years working on the streets of London selling knockoff jewelry and perfume out of a suitcase to tourists.
