Jason Statham has become one of the biggest action stars of this time. The 57-year-old English actor and producer got his start as a model in the 1990s. Outside of modeling, he was a performer in a number of music videos throughout his early career in the mid to late 1990s. He made his feature film debut in 1998, when he played a character named Bacon in the Guy Ritchie-directed film Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

While his career was technically born in the '90s, Statham is a 21st-century action star at heart. After working with Ritchie on Lock, Stock, he teamed up with the director again for the 2000 film Snatch. This action-caper movie made a decent splash at the box office, garnering a haul of over $83 million worldwide. It was in the 2000s that Statham's career really kicked off, transforming him into the high-paid, recognizable actor he is today.
