Jason Statham, the renowned English actor known for his impressive roles in action-thriller movies, has a fascinating family background. Born on July 26, 1967, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England, he was raised by his parents, Barry Statham and Eileen Yates Statham.
Barry, who worked as a street seller, had a passion for music and would organize small concerts with his sons, fostering a love for music within the family. He also played a significant role in training Jason and his older brother, Lee Statham, from a young age, instilling discipline and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Eileen, on the other hand, pursued a career as a dancer. Despite facing financial constraints, Barry and Eileen prioritized providing their children with opportunities for a better life, instilling values and principles to guide them towards success and fulfillment.
In terms of siblings, Jason has an older brother named Lee Statham, who is a talented singer based in Norwich, England. Lee is passionate about music, plays the guitar, and actively participates in sports.
While little is known about Lee due to his desire for less media attention, Jason deeply adores and supports his brother. They are often seen together, running errands and spending time as a family.
In addition to his immediate family, Jason has a loving and enduring relationship with his fiancΓ©e, supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The couple met in 2010 while working on the set of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” and have been together ever since. Despite a significant age difference, their relationship has grown stronger over time.
In 2017, Jason and Rosie welcomed their son, Jack Oscar Statham, into the world. Jason embraced fatherhood at nearly 50 years old, and their family continues to thrive, displaying resilience and a deep bond.
