JASON STATHAM - STATHAM QUIT DRINKING FOR DEATH RACE 2000

British movie tough guy JASON STATHAM gave up drinking while shooting the DEATH RACE 2000 remake in Canada - because he wanted to be at his very best on set. Ever the professional, The Transporter star was tee-total for four months. He says, "The whole time I was up there I never had one beer. It was four months. "I was training every day. You know you do the best you can do. If I'm no good in the movie, that's my fault. It's not because it was eight tequila shots and a bunch of people I shouldn't have been with."
