人 物 簡 介
他,是跟李連杰合作最多的西方演員,在《龍之吻》和《狼犬丹尼》中,他們都曾過過招。在最新影片《玩命快遞》中,賈森·斯塔森樹立了自己的動作明星地位。 讓我們用這位動作英雄的秘笈——力量、速度和全方位的好勇鬥狠——將你的世界翻個底朝天!
賈森·斯塔森定義高代謝
說實在的,我敢打賭,斯塔森在和我交談的時間裡燃燒了500卡路里的熱量。從他關節暴突的狠命握手(這就燒掉25卡路里),到用拳頭輪番作勢捶我的臉(又是38卡路里),到我們說話時一直不肯老老實實坐著(每分鐘燃燒卡路里的不停躁動),斯塔森把會談變成了無氧鍛鍊。凸顯身體上的力量,是斯塔森的真正魔力所在——重點在於“真正”二字。在影片《兩桿大煙槍》(Lock,Stock,and Two Smoking Barrels)中)中扮演一個典型的街頭惡棍時,他正是在倫敦倒騰黑市貨品。如今,這位38歲的演員因在電影《偷天換日》(Italian Job)和《非常人販》(Transporter)中扮演強健沉默的致命暴徒而聞名，而此片的續集《玩命快遞》(The Transporter2)剛剛在國內上映。在最新作品《暴戾狂徒》(Crank)---預計今年晚些時候在北美公映－－中，他扮演一個不將腎上腺素保持在煉獄般熊熊燃燒的水平上他就會死的騙子。這對斯塔斯來說並不誇張，他的身體狀況簡不可思議－－他所做的一切都充滿力量－－他的觀點差不多和他的握手一樣強硬。

Biography
British director Guy Ritchie frequently attributes the success of his unorthodox crime films -- 1998's Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, 2000's Snatch -- to the fact that his offbeat miscreants are more than believable, they are real. Preferring to cast for authenticity rather than resumé, Ritchie handpicks many of his actors from the true-life cult figures and rascals of London's underbelly. Actor Jason Statham is among the best of them.
A one-time Olympic diver, fashion model, and black-market salesman, Statham came to acting by way of commercials and "street theater" -- a euphemism for hustling tourists on London's Oxford Street. Raised in Syndenham, London, he was the second son of a lounge singer and a dressmaker turned dancer. Although Statham had the familial background to go immediately into entertainment,he excelled first on the high dive. He was a member of the 1988 British Olympic Team in Seoul, Korea, and remained on the National Diving Squad for ten years. In the late '90s, a talent agent specializing in athletes landed Statham a gig in an ad campaign for the European clothing retailer French Connection. This led to an appearance in a Levi's Jeans commercial and a fledgling modeling career. Meanwhile, Statham had also earned local fame as a street corner con man, selling stolen jewelry and counterfeit perfume out of a briefcase. Thus, when French Connection's owner became one of the biggest investors in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, he naturally introduced the diver/model/hustler to knave-hunting Ritchie.
Intrigued by Statham's past and impressed by his modeling work, Ritchie invited him to audition for a part in the film. The director challenged Statham to impersonate an illegal street vendor and convince him to purchase a piece of imitation gold jewelry. Statham was evidently so persuasive that Ritchie bought four sets. When the director attempted to return his worthless acquisition -- pretending that the gold had turned to stainless steel -- Statham was so graciously inflexible that Ritchie hired him.
This unorthodox audition resulted in Statham's big screen debut as Bacon, one of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels' four primary characters engaged in a risky get-rich-quick scheme to repay a massive gambling debt. Bacon supplies a streetwise discipline and restraint that the other characters lack and a sense of humility crucial to Ritchie's film. In the director's follow-up crime comedy, Snatch, Ritchie rehired Statham to play Turkish, a smalltime hood vainly trying to break into the world of underground boxing. As this amateur but respectable hoodlum, Statham is attractive, urbane, immaculate, and smart enough to be bewilderedby even his own laughable criminal ineptitude. The role began as a small supporting part in Snatch's star-filled ensemble cast but expanded throughout shooting. By the time of the film's theatrical release, Statham received top billing as its narrator and chief anti-hero.
The Guy Ritchie oeuvre that supplied his breakthrough performances is not Statham's only acting arena. In 2000, he made his American film debut as a British drug dealer in Robert Adetuyi's Turn It Up starring Pras Michel. By 2001, he had finished shooting John Carpenter's sci-fi thriller Ghosts of Mars and joined Delroy Lindo in the cast of the Jet Li vehicle The One. A chance to reteam with former Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrel co-star Vinnie Jones proved too fun an opportuity to resist, and Stratham would round out a particularly busy 2001 with his role in the prison-bound sports remake Mean Machine.
Just as audiences were finally standing up to take notice of the amiable tough-guy, Stratham stepped into his own as the action lead of the explosive 2002 adrenaline ride The Transporter. A sizable hit that would earn Stratham increasingly prominant roles in such high profile pics as The Italian Job, Collateral, and Cellular, The Transporter established Stratham as a bankable international action star and was eventually followed by a 2005 sequel that miraculously managed the improbable featof upping the ante of the previous installment's over-the-top cartoon violence. A starring role in Ritchie's 2005 crime thriller Revolver found Stratham re-teaming with the director who launched his career with decidedly mixed results, and the following year it was off to race the clock and rescue the girl as a reformed assassin looking to make good in the hyper-intense action entry Crank. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, All Movie Guide
