  • Not to be: Statham luckily found his calling after his poor showing in New Zealand.

    Jason Statham is better known for his turns in Hollywood blockbusters such as Crank, The Transporter and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

    What you may not know, however, is that a 23-year-old Statham was far more preoccupied with the turns more commonly associated with the likes of Tom Daley.

    Back in 1990, Statham participated at the Commonwealth Games in Aukland, New Zealand where he represented England in the high dive.

    As you can see from the video below, things didn't go to plan for the future film star.
