It is true that Statham is not a character of the heart, there are few lights from the flashes that have illuminated his private life, but it is worth noting that he is quite a conquering gentleman. During a party in London in 2009 he met the attractive British model Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley (35), one of the former Victoria’s Secret Angels, who immediately stole her heart. She was smitten by his sarcastic and ironic humor of hers.
They made their relationship official at the Vanity Fair party for the Oscars in 2011. From the beginning they had the intention of forming a home and, before getting married, they chose to be parents. They already have the couple. Jack Oscar came into the world in June 2017 and Isabella James was born in February 2022. The age difference has never been a problem. “It’s just a number,” Rosie replied to comments on this topic.
The couple have changed addresses on several occasions. After selling their Malibu mansion two years ago for $18.5 million , they decided to invest another $13 million in a spectacular residence in the country’s most famous zip code, Beverly Hills. Tranquility and being in contact with nature are the two basic priorities of the family. In fact, Jason Statham is a fan of aquatic sports and as he could not be less, he masters various disciplines in martial arts, such as wushu, karate, wing chun or Brazilian jiu-jitsu. This has allowed him to do his own risk scenes in the cinema.
His passion for sports dates back to childhood when he confessed to his parents that he wanted to be a specialist in action movies when he grew up. His parents helped him from the beginning. Her mother was a dancer and inherited from her how to eat a balanced diet and her father worked as a street vendor who made her first steps as a singer in the Canary Islands. To stay in shape he chose swimming, specifically the specialty in springboard jumping, becoming a member of the British national team for 12 years with which he was about to participate in the Olympic Games on three occasions (1988, 1992, 1996). In 1992 he reached twelfth place in the list of the best divers in the world.Despite not having won any medals, this discipline made him much more disciplined and boosted his concentration.
After leaving the competition , she worked as a model for different brands, including French Connection, whose contacts allowed Guy Ritchie to give her her first chance on the big screen with Games, Traps and Two Smoking Guns (1988). Little by little he made his way to become a star. From charging 750,000 dollars for The Transporter (2002) he has gone on to have a cache of 13 million for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which has allowed him to accumulate a fortune of 90 million dollars according to the celebritynetworth portal.
