Jackie Chan is one of the most well-known Asian film stars, yet despite his popularity and fortune, he has a strained relationship with his children.
As one of the best actors of his generation, Jackie Chan has gone a long way. After conquering the Asian film industry, Chan came to Hollywood and scored a string of hit films that helped him reach a new audience.
Chan joins Jet Li and Bruce Lee in popularizing Asian films. With his outstanding blend of martial arts and physical humor, the 69-year-old entertains his followers.
Chan was widely regarded as Lee’s heir after he died in 1973. He rose to the occasion with successful films that captivated audiences. His first big film, “Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow,” took the Hong Kong film industry by storm in 1978.
Other hits by Chan include “Drunken Master,” “The Fearless Hyena,” and “Half a Loaf of Kung Fu.” As a result, he became Hong Kong’s highest-paid actor and the leading Asian actor at the time.Aside from his acting abilities, Chan was a competent stuntman. He allegedly does his stunts, which sometimes result in serious injuries. Everything, however, worked out in his favor.
With his celebrity and fortune came a strong desire for women. Chan was well-liked by the ladies. Unfortunately, these affairs occasionally lasted longer than a one-night stand, leaving him with children he never intended to have.
Chan’s success had spread into the American market by the late 1990s, and he was now a well-known global figure. However, the “Drunken Master” actor claims that it was around this time that he made a “big mistake.”
