Jason Stratham is an English actor, producer, model, martial artist and former diver. Stratham was born in Shirebrook, England, on September 12, 1967. He's best known for his high-adrenaline roles in Guy Ritchie crime flicks like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998), "Snatch" (2000) and "Revolver" (2005). His other film credits include "The Transporter" (2002), "The Italian Job" (2003), "The Expendables" (2010) and "The Expendables 2" (2012). The actor usually does his own stunts and stage combat scenes. Stratham was a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for twelve years before being scouted by a sports modeling agency. This stroke of luck landed him a deal with French Connection, through which he met director Guy Ritchie. After a seven-year relationship with model Kelly Brook, Stratham became involved with Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
