As action icon Jason Statham turns 59 today, he also marks another milestone: 10 years engaged to longtime partner Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Today, Statham is synonymous with blockbuster franchises like The Transporter, The Expendables, The Beekeeper, and the Fast & Furious films. But before he became one of Hollywood's grittiest action stars, he spent years working as a painter and decorator, selling goods at market stalls and even working nightclub doors before filmmaker Guy Ritchie cast him in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998.
Two years later, Ritchie reunited him with Brad Pitt, Benicio del Toro and an all-star cast in Snatch, the diamond-heist caper that helped cement Statham as one of Britain's most exciting new screen talents. From there, his career steadily built into one of action cinema's most recognizable success stories.
View this post on InstagramAccording to Entertainment Weekly, That slower path to fame, Huntington-Whiteley says, is exactly what keeps him humble. "He didn't act until he was well into his thirties," she once explained. "He's got that real groundedness." She says that's one of the qualities she hopes he'll pass on to their children, Jack and Isabella.
While the couple got engaged in 2016, they've never felt pressured to walk down the aisle. Huntington-Whiteley has previously said that if they do marry one day, the ceremony will likely be "low-key." Instead, they've focused on building a family life away from Hollywood, relocating from Los Angeles back to England so their children could grow up with a greater sense of normalcy.
For someone whose career has been built on high-speed car chases, impossible stunts and unforgettable Guy Ritchie one-liners, Statham's biggest success story may be the life he's created off-screen - grounded with perspective and the understanding that success doesn’t come handed to you on a silver platter.
