You always hear stories about normal people who get approached by talent scouts at the mall and then become huge stars. In fact, that’s the only reason I go to the mall, ever.

Nothing sounds better than falling backasswards into a life of fame and fortune without having to pay any of your dues. That’s my dream, actually. And I think it gives all of us hope. Here are eight celebrities who accidentally became famous.

Jason Statham: He went from Olympic hero to London street urchin, but when he was picked up by an agent while working out, everything changed for Jason Statham. He got a modeling job for French Connection and appeared in Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Gisele Bundchen: Bundchen was at a shopping mall on a school field trip, eating McDonalds, when a modeling agency approached her. She was selected for a national contest...
Since Megan Fox left The Transformers franchise, producers must have known they had to do something quick, as long as they wanted anyone over the age of seven to see the next movie.

Enter Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the Victoria's Secret supermodel and girlfriend of actor Jason Statham.

This up-and-coming actress is coming from relative obscurity into the limelight faster than the time it takes a truck to transform into Optimus Prime.

And speaking of nerds, after the next film inThe Transformers series debuts, she's going to be the favorite of fan-boys everywhere. In the meantime, here are a few facts about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to hold you over:

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a distant relative of Queen Victoria. Yes, the British model/actress hails from royal roots.

The trailer for Transporter 3 is here, and Michael Statham looks badass!

He plays Frank Martin, who is hired by a criminal mastermind to go on a mission to deliver a 'package'. The other star of the movie is Martin’s car, which is an Audi A8.

Part of the mission involved Frank being electronically rigged, so that if he’s ever 75 feet away from the car, he’ll be destroyed.

It’s one of those ridiculously far-fetched movies that will keep you on the edge of your seat, regardless of how impossible the situations are. And if you’re a car person, the Audi is in the entire movie, so that’s an added bonus! Transporter 3 hits theaters November 26th.

50 Cent has landed another acting gig! This time around he’s teaming up with fellow bad boys Micky Rourke and Jason Statham in 13, a remake of the French film Tzameti 13. What’s different about this remake though, is that the original director, Gela Babluani, is writing and directing this one too.

The film is about a guy who steals a package that has specific instructions he must follow in order to get a big payoff. But when he gets to his destination, he discovers a secret world, and realizes he’s been being followed by cops the entire time. Sounds like this is going to be a violent one!

Its been awhile since we’ve seen a good action thriller that involves crime fighters and gangsters. The Bank Job is the latest film featuring the beautiful Saffrom Burrows and Jason Statham. The stars were out last night looking fabulous in New York City at the film premiere.

The plot entails a car dealer with a dodgy past and new family, Terry has always avoided major-league scams. But when Martine, a beautiful model from his old neighborhood, offers him a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street, Terry recognizes the opportunity of a lifetime.

Martine targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself...the true story of a heist gone wrong...in all the right ways.

The film hits theatres March 7,2008. You can check out the action packed movie trailer below.
