Jason Statham – The Expendables 3

It’s a stretch to consider Jason Statham an actor. He’s more a stuntman with dialogue. You would expect his brush with death to be a kind of blaze of glory, a la Chev Chelios in Crank. For that film, he did drive a motorcycle at high speed through the streets of L.A. in nothing but a hospital gown, which is fairly impressive.

But the one that almost guaranteed a memorial service is much less eventful.

His most dangerous stunt occurred on the set of Sylvester Stallone‘s third rogues gallery Expendables film. After crashing a truck into the black sea in Bulgaria, Statham became trapped underwater, nearly drowning.
