15. Jason Statham
Like John Wayne and Burt Reynolds, Jason Statham was an athlete before he was an actor. Statham was a competitive diver, diving for Britain’s National Diving Squad for a dozen years. After he retired, he continued training an working out regularly but made ends meet by selling knockoff perfume and jewelry on the street. He was spotted in the gym by an agent for sports modeling agency and this led to a modeling job at French Connection. While working for French Connection, he was introduced to Guy Ritchie. Ritchie was looking for a someone to play a con-artist in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels” and Statham’s background selling black market wares on the street made him the perfect choice.
