Jason Statham recreates Commonwealth Games dive on luxury family holiday
Jason Statham showed off his impressive diving skills 35 years on from his Commonwealth Games appearance. The Hollywood star, 57, recreated his dive while holidaying with his family in Positano, Italy.
He showed he still has it with his eye-catching leap from the lavish yacht he and his family were on. The 30ft leap showed Jason's top skills as he showed time hadn't passed him by in the art form.
The moment came 35 years after the Mechanic star represented his country at the Commonwealth Games in New Zealand. The 1990 performance saw Jason place in eighth for England in the 1-metre springboard with a score of 487.26 points.
In his 3-metre springboard and 10-metre platform attempts at the Games, he finished in 11th position.
In his latest dive, Jason was seen with his chiselled body and wearing swim shorts as his fiancee Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shared the jump on his social media along with a number of sweet family shots.
The clan were enjoying their break, with Jason and Rosie joined by their kids, Jack, eight, and Isabella, three. And in her rare look into their family life, Rosie's images saw Jason's perfect form as he leapt from the vessel while his son watched on in amazement.
"Jack's face watching Jason diving is priceless. Hugs," gushed one user in the comments section of the post. "Omg that diving form," fashion designer Aimee Song also gasped.
But there was also a lot of love from followers for what seemed to be the idyllic family getaway. Designer Elizabeth Sulcer wrote: "Beauty family," with a yellow love heart emoji.
And Kara Alloway penned: "This. Is. Everything. Proof that love family and marriage still thrive." Michelle Keegan was among the famous pals clicking the like button on the post.
Other images from their trip also showed the strong father-and-son bond Jason has with Jack as they peered out at sea. Rosie also posted an adorable photograph Jason and their two kids embracing, while another shot showed her enjoying some downtime of her own.
She was seen relaxing in the crystal clear waters as she floated while wearing a two-piece white bikini. A number of other shots showed the family recharging their batteries on the relaxing trip.
The holiday comes months after Jason had left villagers gobsmacked as he strolled through while filming for his next movie. The A-lister was spotted in a number of locations in Enniskerry, Ireland.
The star, who was sporting a rugged beard and beanie at the time was almost unrecognisable as he visited Poppies cafe in the hotspot. Jason, who was the highest-paid Brit in Hollywood last year, earning £32million, happily posed for a photo with the owners of the cafe, Fiona and Laura.
They later proudly shared the picture on the cafe's Instagram page and included a caption thanking the actor for choosing their village for his latest film.

Musician calls out 'appalling' artist pay as new label-led deal for artists announced
The Government announced label-led measures to raise the earning of songwriters and session musicians in the UK, but veteran violinist Jennifer Maslin and the Musicians' Union say the changes fall flat After the UK government announced new measures to boost the earnings of songwriters, session musicians and legacy artists, one veteran session violinist says she's not impressed. While the new deal is being touted by the Government as the 'best deal' for artists, Jennifer Maslin says the meagre increase is still far from a living wage. On July 22, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) announced a 'major boost for UK music creators' backed by major record labels including Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group. The plans were put forward by the Creator Remuneration Working Group (CRWG) which is chaired by Sir Chris Bryant. The changes estimated by labels are expected to 'deliver tens of millions of pounds in new investment to support musicians by 2030'. The new measures also include a framework for legacy artists to renegotiate their contracts to increase their streaming earnings for existing work. Inside the AI music controversy clouding The Beatles' historic BRIT nomination Support for songwriters and composers includes a commitment to the payment of per diems and expenses for recording sessions, to ensure they are not left out of pocket. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and Musicians' Union have also agreed to raise session fees of up to 40 percent for pop sessions and 15 percent for classical sessions. Speaking to NME about the new measures, Sir Chris said: 'I honestly feel that this deal that we've struck here in the UK is the best deal there is in the world '. However session artists like Jennifer are unconvinced. Jennifer is a solo and session violinist in the UK with over three decades of experience. Speak to The Mirror she says the new deal is a step in the right direction but falls short, especially for classical musicians. "It's a great step forward that some recognition is finally being given to the appalling pay musicians are expected to live off.' Referencing Grammy-winning artist Raye and her infamous Ivor Novello Awards speech, Jennifer says: 'Raye was right that it's an insult songwriters are expected to work for free.' While she applauds Sir Chris' efforts to address the situation, Jennifer says that the £75 for songwriters in a gig economy 'with no pension or sick pay benefits' is still 'well under the living wage for a full working day'. She acknowledges that when it comes to recording session fees, 'things look brighter for pop session musicians though'. 'Let's hope we're now on the path to not being asked 'Is this your only job?' - and respecting being a musician for the training, artistry and dedication it requires,' she concludes. The Musicians' Union (MU) - the UK trade union which represents musicians in negotiations with employers, including major industry players - is also unimpressed by the new deal. MU General Secretary Naomi Pohl met repeatedly with the CRWG, however the union and Council of Music Makers as a whole 'remain disappointed that the labels have not addressed the key issues with music streaming economics '. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. Musicians' Union General Secretary Naomi Pohl told The Mirror: "We are grateful to Minister Chris Bryant for the pressure he has put on record labels, and the majors in particular, to improve terms for artists on older contracts.' However, she says that while session rates were increased: 'this doesn't address a lack of royalties for session musicians and we also want to see modern royalty rates for all signed artists. The fundamental problems with music streaming economics remain.' MU says it will soon launch a petition calling for copyright reform. According to Naomi: 'We have also secured an additional meeting with the Minister in September to discuss session musician remuneration specifically." The Council of Music Makers, which includes the MU, is seeking: a minimum digital royalty rate for all new and legacy artists; a rolling commitment to write-off unrecouped balances of signed artists after 20 years; rights reversion so artists and songwriters can reclaim their rights after a set period of time; streaming royalties for session musicians; and a right to contract adjustment.

Alan and Jan first met in the early 1960s at the youth fellowship of St Christopher's Church, Craigentinny, where they both grew up. Their romance began with a simple act of kindness when Janice folded Alan's sweater while he played badminton in the church hall. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad They married at the same church in July 1965 before honeymooning in Montreux, Switzerland – a trip they will recreate this August by returning to the same hotel. The Naylors are pictured with Provost Debbi McCall on the right and Deputy Lord Lieutenant Harriet Dalrymple on the left. Alan, 83, the youngest of three brothers, was joined at their anniversary celebration on July 19 at Glencorse Golf Club by siblings Claud and Iain. Janice, who turned 80 on July 10, 2025, had her sister Maureen, who was her bridesmaid 60 years ago, with her on their special day.

A talented swimmer, Janice represented Scotland and even trialled for the Commonwealth Games. Their first son, Craig, who followed in his father's footsteps and is now HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary- Scotland, was born in 1966, followed by Martin in the early 1970s after the family moved to Penicuik. Martin and his wife Val have successful design-based businesses in and around Edinburgh.

He later became Head of Security and then a lecturer at Napier University, completing a PhD. Janice turned her love of swimming into a lifelong career as a teacher, helping thousands of children and adults across Penicuik, Roslin and Bilston. Her work with children with disabilities and asthma earned her an MBE from HM The Queen. Proud parents and grandparents, Alan and Janice enjoy travelling in their motorhome, walking, cycling, Alan's golf, and Janice's swimming. Family dogs also keep them busy. Congratulations to Dr Alan and Jan Naylor.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury enjoying very different summers ahead of comebacks
Joshua has recently been snapped enjoying some time away on the beach - just weeks after it was revealed he will make a return to action this year Anthony Joshua appears to be enjoying his summer, while British rival Tyson Fury continues to put the work in ahead of his boxing comeback. The two-time heavyweight champion has not fought since suffering a devastating knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois last September at Wembley. Both Joshua and Dubois seemed destined to face off in an immediate rematch, but 'AJ' needed some more time away from the ring after sustaining some minor injuries in their September showdown. The 35-year-old has since had surgery on his elbow and is eyeing a comeback before the end of the year. Joshua has been enjoying some time outside of the ring following the surgery and the 35-year-old has recently enjoyed luxury trips to Oman, Dubai and Saudi Arabia. The Brit was recently given a hero's welcome and was mobbed by fans after touching down in Ghana last month. His little tour around the globe has not stopped, though, after he was recently pictured soaking up the sun in Mykonos, Greece. 'AJ' was seen wearing a pair of Under Armour shorts as he purchased a cigar from a vendor and shopped for a few bargains in the process at the beach. The Brit took a quick dip in the sea to cool off from the scorching Greek sunshine, showing off his muscular physique. With Joshua enjoying as much sun as possible, Fury - on the other hand - is continuing to put the work in after making a retirement U-turn. The 'Gypsy King' - who retired in January following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk - is set to return to the ring next year after Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh revealed that the Brit will fight again in 2026. Over the last few months, the Morecambe native has been seen training regularly. Fury continues to ramp up training ahead of his comeback and the boxing legend posted a video of himself going for a morning run on Thursday. While many fighters will be taking time off to enjoy as much sun as they possibly can, the 'Gypsy King' is seemingly taking no family trips away and is eager to get back into shape. Amid talk of a potential showdown between Joshua and Fury next year, the pair must get through warm-up bouts first. During a recent appearance on 'The Boxing Voice,' Alalshikh is eager to make the dust-up between the British heavyweights. The two stars have exchanged verbal jabs over the years, but are yet to resolve their rivalry inside the ring. While the Saudi boxing chief admits they are trying to host the fight in 2026 - both men would need to get through tune-up fights first. " Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury next year, we are trying to do it and we are thinking about it," he revealed. "Why? Because they are both coming off losses. It's to build it up." Earlier this month, Joshua had vowed to "take the division by storm again" ahead of his highly-anticipated return this year. Speaking at the unveiling of Matchroom Boxing's rebranding, the heavyweight star is plotting a destructive comeback. He said: "I took a year out, first time in about 12 to 13 years as a professional, not even including the amateur stuff. "But I took a year out, get my body right. I'm at a different stage in my career where I can look at time a bit differently. I'm all these years in front of me like the main man here, so I've got to make like really executive decisions about what I do next. So the minute I come back, you know I'll come back with a bang rather than just keep rolling through and just going with the motions of the sport. I just thought, let me take some time out so when I do come back I come back fully active and ready to go and take the division by storm again." When is Anthony Joshua's next fight? Joshua is expected to make his return to the ring before the end of the year. Eddie Hearn has recently revealed that 'AJ' is now looking to move on with his career after continuously calling for a fight with Fury, but still hopes to one day settle the score with the 'Gypsy King' before calling it a day. In an interview with Sky Sports, when asked about the future of Joshua, Hearn replied: "Yeah, good, he had that operation recently... that elbow surgery, which went very well. You will see him return in October, November or December. We're looking for that opponent in the top ten. Deontay Wilder I think fights next week. "I know he is a name that has been mentioned. For AJ, like I said, 2026 I think could be his last year in the sport and it seemed to get headlined, but what else do you expect? That is three or four fights away. He cannot go on forever! He is motivated. Physically feeling good now to return to camp and ready for one little last roll to this incredible career. "Hopefully that involves a fight with Mr (Tyson) Fury. But after he is done parading his kilt around on Netflix, hopefully he joins us in the ring in 2026. It would be an incredible occasion for British boxing. But first thing is first, AJ will return during that period this year and obviously he must win and that performance will tell us a lot about the future of Anthony Joshua."
