Jason Statham says he's 'feeling pretty nimble' ahead of welcoming first child with Rosie
JASON STATHAM may be about to turn 50 but he admitted he's "feeling pretty nimble" as he prepares to welcome his first child with fiancé Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
The Hollywood action star told Men's Health: "I'm moving better than I used to. I'm feeling pretty nimble."
Jason, 49, is currently expecting his first child with supermodel Rosie, 29, but he seems to be feeling fit and ready for the new challenge.
In the interview, Jason revealed: "It's about the whole thing: training, eating, sleeping… all of those have a massive impact on how you feel. And I'm doing better at all those things.
"Sly Stallone's got 20 years on me and still looks good so he's part of my inspiration."
As he prepares to be a father, Jason also opened up about being labelled a 'hardpan', laughing: "These public labels, the things the media like to paint you as, I don't really look at them. I see myself as a pretty standard sort of chap, really. I keep a lot of my pals close to me and I think that keeps my feet on the ground."
He added: "Hollywood has a caustic effect on a lot of people. It's a cruel business. You can get a big head about things. But what goes up must come down."
Rosie confirmed her pregnancy earlier this month, posting a stunning bikini snap to her Instagram, with her flaunting her growing bump as she posed on a beach.
"Very happy to share that Jason and I are expecting," she captioned the image, crediting the photo to her actor fiancé.

The couple looked very loved-up as they attended Vanity Fair's star-studded Oscars after party on Sunday night.
Jason was pictured gazing adoringly at his pregnant partner, looking very dapper in a smart black suit and bow-tie as she showcased her baby bump in a sensational silver gown.
The floor-length satin number skimmed over her growing tum and the Victoria's Secret model flaunted her ample cleavage as they posed together for photographers.
Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosia was later spotted congratulating Rosie as she beamed at her bump before they snapped a couple of pictures together.
