Hollywood tough guy looks completely different as surprising early career is uncovered.

In recent news, fans were stunned to see unearthed photos from 1990 of a beloved Hollywood star looking completely different. These images revealed that before his days in Fast & Furious and The Transporter, none other than Jason Statham had a very different career as an international competitive diver.

At the age of 23, Statham represented England at the Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand. While he competed in the 1m, 3m, and 10m events, he unfortunately did not take home a medal. Although he never made it to the Olympics, Statham has openly admitted that it is still a "sore point" for him. He expressed his admiration for the current generation of divers and acknowledged that he may have started his diving career too late.

Despite his humility, many were surprised to learn of Statham's previous athletic endeavors. In fact, it was not until recently when a twitter user shared a photo of the actor at the 1990 Commonwealth Games that fans discovered his past as a professional diver. Some were amazed at the transformation from his younger, hairier self to his current tough guy persona on screen.

After the games, Statham ventured into modelling and even walked the runway for top fashion brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Levi's. But it was his big break in movies, particularly in action blockbusters and Guy Ritchie's Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, that propelled him to stardom.

It's safe to say that things turned out pretty well for the former diver. And while he may have moved on from his days of diving, it's clear that Statham's talent and hard work have led him to a successful career in Hollywood. Who knows, maybe we'll see him back in action as a diver in a future film. As they say, never say never.
