When I first stepped foot on a film set, I didn’t have a script or years of acting school behind me, but rather a background of grit, hard work, and a desire to perform physically. Hollywood took a chance on me, providing not only possibilities but also an environment in which I could thrive, grow, and challenge what I thought was possible.
You, my fans, are the driving force behind every punch thrown, every car chase, and every leap of faith I’ve taken on screen. Your devotion, passion, and energy have encouraged me to work harder, set greater goals, and offer you performances that reflect my thanks. Whether you’ve cheered me on from the theatre or during a late-night movie marathon at home, your steadfast support means more than words can convey.
To my colleagues—the directors who saw my promise, the co-stars who joined me on the adventure, and the crews who made it all happen—you have been my teachers, motivators, and collaborators in creating something bigger than life. Thank you for allowing me to add my own distinct brand of action and passion to the stories we’ve shared.
Thank you, Hollywood, for being the platform that helped a diver and market trader become an actor. You’ve showed me that reinvention is possible, and that with hard work and enthusiasm, anyone can carve their own niche in this field. I am eternally grateful for your trust in me and the space you’ve provided for my craft to grow.
This letter celebrates the past while also committing to the future. Let us continue to push boundaries, share amazing tales, and create art that transcends generations. Thank you for taking me on this unforgettable journey; it has been an honour to share it with you.
With respect and thanks,
Jason Statham
