Jason Statham, the English action movie star, was previously a martial artist, football player, and a member of Britain’s national diving team before he transitioned into modeling and then acting.

He has been featured in ensemble action films like ‘The Italian Job,’ the ‘Expendables’ series, and the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, as well as in leading roles in films such as ‘Crank,’ ‘The Mechanic,’ ‘The Meg,’ ‘Wrath of Man,’ and ‘The Beekeeper.’ If you’re interested in watching his movies on Netflix, here’s a helpful list to get you started.
