The actor, despite never having competed for an Oscar, received three MTV Movie Awards: in 1995, for lifetime achievement; in 1999 for Best Scene, for: “Rush Hour” and in 2002 for Best Fight, for: “Rush Hour 2”, Character: “Inspector Lee”; he also won a Daytime Emmy Award for Best Actor in an Animated Program, in 2002, for: “The Adventures of Jackie Chan”.
Jackie Chan has participated in more than 100 films throughout his career, having in the first 20 films secondary roles as a supporting actor, extra and even stunt double.
In 2010, he played “Mr. Han”, in “The Karate Kid”, a remake produced by actor and friend Willard Carroll Smith II - Will Smith (1968-), in which his son Jaden Christopher Syre Smith (1998-) plays the protagonist “Dre Parker”. “The Karate Kid 2” is scheduled for release in May 2025.
Jackie Chan has a star on the Los Angeles Walk of Fame, located at Byken 6801 Hollywood Boulevard, in the motion picture category. He also has a star on the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong and is considered by many to be the greatest Asian actor.
Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, Victoria Peak, Hong Kong, a former British colony, now an autonomous territory in southeastern China, is now 70 years old.
Jackie Chan has been married to former Taiwanese actress Joan Lin Feng-jiao (1953-) since 1982. The couple has one son, American-born Chinese actor and singer Jaycee Chan Joming (1982-). He sings and performs in both Mandarin and Cantonese, and in 2004 released his first Mandarin CD album in Hong Kong. In 2015, Jaycee was arrested for possession of marijuana and served 6 months in prison. Jackie Chan has made no secret of his discontent with his son. He has not visited him in prison and has even made controversial statements. Speaking of controversy, Jackie Chan has an illegitimate daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam (1999-), from an extramarital affair he had with Miss Asia 1990, Elaine Ng Yi-lei, sometimes credited as Elaine Wu (1972-). She announced that she was pregnant in 1999, after starring in a film by Chan, revealing her affair with the actor, who, after public speculation, admitted that he had “made a mistake that many men in the world make”.
Siempre me ha caído bien ese actor. Te mando un beso.

My dear friend Theodosia,
ReplyDelete"Jackie Chan" being frequently compared to the actor "Bruce Lee" puts a lot of weight on him, because "Bruce Lee" was an actor with impressive qualities within this style of oriental martial arts. The difference we must highlight is that "Jackie Chan" also has a comedic streak in the films he acts in.
Another great biography.
Kisses!!!
Oh, I have always found humor in much of his acting and at times I feel he got his start as a stunt man. And there is his controversy with many about his love for his homeland, but he has helped many actors, especially in Tawain, as well as China. He has made some very well received C-dramas from writing and directing. He is the entertainer. And he has a great production company too.
