Jason Statham Shows Incredible Stunt Prowess At 57 By Diving Off A Yacht, And Vin Diesel And Ludacris Have Thoughts
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Everyone in the world knows Jason Statham as an action star leading films like Crank, The Meg and The Beekeeper in addition to his part within the Fast And Furious franchise... but did you know that he has a serious background as a diver? Years before his breakout in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and even before his modeling career (yes, he had a modeling career), Statham spent a dozen years on Britain's National Swimming Squad and competed in multiple events in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Knowing this, it's weirdly not at all surprising to see photos of the actor performing some extreme dives off of a yacht in a new Instagram post filled with vacation pictures – but one nonetheless has to appreciate the love shared in the comments section by some of his Fast & Furious castmates. Check out the gallery of photos below: If you didn't know about Jason Statham's history as a legit diver, you probably could have figured out that he has some kind of background in the sport from that first photo. The guy might be decades removed from his heyday in the pool, but that shot demonstrates the form of an Olympian (and kudos to the uncredited photographer!). As for the reactions... I think you can also probably guess what Vin Diesel had to say about this collection of vacation photos. The actor doesn't comment on Jason Statham's diving prowess or skills while operating a jet ski. Instead, he focuses on who his co-star is hanging out with and cites what he has long said (and oft-repeated) is the core theme of the Fast & Furious franchise: Family… Perfectly on brand. Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, on the other hand, left a comment suggesting that he is well aware of Jason Statham's background as an athlete and complemented his maintained skills with three words of adulation and a pair of knowing emojis: Still got it 🏊♂️ 🫡 It's fun to see Jason Statham, Vin Diesel and Ludacris interacting on social media... but when will we get to see Deckard Shaw, Dominic Torretto, or Tej Parker back together again? That question doesn't have a firm answer quite yet, but at the very least we do now have a release window for Fast X: Part 2 / Fast And Furious 11. At the end of last month, Diesel attended an event in Southern California and told the audience gathered there that Universal Pictures is targeting an April 2027 release date – meaning that production will likely begin at the end of next year or the start of 2026. Director Louis Leterrier is back in the director's chair after helming Fast X, and Diesel has made three promises about the sequel: the action will return to Los Angeles, the story will return to be about car culture, and Dom will have an on-screen reunion with Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker's character, who has not appeared in a Fast & Furious movie since Walker's death during the production of Furious 7). The film will also need to provide a conclusion to the many cliffhangers in the previous chapter, including the return of Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbes; the resurrection of Gal Gadot's Gisele Yashar; the fate of the flight that had Tej, Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Han (Sung Kang), and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) on board; and the peril faced by Dom and his son below a breaking dam.

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar to star alongside The Lion King's Jeremy Irons in new film
Rizana – A Caged Bird is based on the true story of a Sri Lankan maid who was employed as a caretaker for an infant by a family in Saudi Arabia. In 2005, the child passed away in her care, for which she was executed in Saudi Arabia in 2013. Her execution sparked outrage in Sri Lanka, with then Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa writing to Saudi Arabia's King Abdul Aziz, seeking a pardon for Rizana. In the film, Vidhushika Reddy is set to portray Rizana. The film will be produced by Jagath Sumathipala under his Sumathi Studios banner. Varalaxmi was recently seen in The Verdict alongside Suhasini Mani Ratnam and Sruthi Hariharan. She will next be seen in Police Complaint. Irons, who was last in David Ayer's The Beekeeper, alongside Jason Statham, will be seen in Palestine 36.

Jo Malone's 'fruity' summer perfume now comes in £24 travel size
"Perfect Springtime scent. You definitely get the Nectarine and Peaches notes once it dries down. Even though Jo Malone usually doesn't last long on me, this one does" I'm a perfume expert and have spent countless hours searching for the best quality products with great value and travel-size bottles are always a good idea. Jo Malone have had 9ml bottles for a long time, which can often be found in their duo sets - but a sleek 10ml design has just been released on Sephora. Shoppers can get a 10ml bottle of the brand's summery Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne for £24. This sleek round bottle is ideal for trips abroad, nights out, and to be slipped into a clutch bag. The scent was a 2005 release by the brand's founder and namesake. It opens up with green notes, petitgrain and blackcurrant, before softening to a heart of nectarine and black locust. There's a fruity base of peach, plum and vetiver. It's been compared to Juliette has a Gun's Magnolia Bliss (£100 for 50ml) and Oakcha's The Beekeeper (£28 for 50ml). Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne has an impressive 277 five-star ratings on Sephora. One shopper said: "Love this scent! It's super light but enough to get you noticed. Great blend of citrus and honey, honestly wish this scent was in a hair perfume because this beats the Gisou original honey hair perfume." A second wrote: "I love it. If you like fruity, juicy scents this is for you. There is very little flower to the nose. Compare to the English Pear and Pea flower perfume, Peony Blush perfume that I love too, this one is completely unique and different! Feels like a sunny day by the pool and I'm here for it." A third penned: "Perfect Springtime scent. You definitely get the Nectarine and Peaches notes once it dries down. Even though Jo Malone usually doesn't last long on me, this one does! Love this!" A fourth added: "This is my favourite by Jo Malone. Unfortunately, the scent disappears soon after applying—before I can even finish getting ready. I've been so disappointed the cologne scent doesn't last especially with the price point of many perfume! If they could make it last, it would be my favourite go-to of all time." It's worth keeping in mind that the application of perfume can impact how long it lasts. One tip is to spray perfume directly on pulse points, ideally when freshly cleaned and moisturised, and to not pat it down. It's also best to store perfume in a cupboard or drawer away from any radical temperature changes or light.
