Action star Jason Statham says he used to be very energetic as a child and the physical DNA is part of his family.
The 46-year-old 'Homefront' actor admits he was too energetic as a child and often made his mother worry even if she'd turned away from him for just a few seconds, reported Contactmusic.
"(I was) very energetic as a child. I was running around and bouncing out of the pram as a baby. My mum says she was always having to pick me up from off the ground when I'd fall out," he said.
"The physical DNA has always been part of our family, my dad was a good boxer and gymnast, my mum is a ballroom dancer, and my brother does martial arts," he said.
"I tend to need to find something to do physically. It feels weird if I don't."
For Statham bullying is one thing which he dislikes the most.
"It's a horrible thing and it's not just about children - adults get bullied all the time, too. People who, are in a position of power like to throw their weight around and that becomes abuse," he said.
