Early life
Chan was born on 7 April 1954, in British Hong Kong, as Chan Kong-sang, to Charl
es and Lee-Lee Chan, refugees from the Chinese Civil War. He was nicknamed Pao-p
ao Chinese: ?? ("Cannonball") because the energetic child was always rolling aro
und.[4] His parents worked for the French ambassador in Hong Kong, and Chan spen
t his formative years within the grounds of the consul's residence in the Victor
ia Peak district.[5]
Chan attended the Nah-Hwa Primary School on Hong Kong Island, where he failed hi
s first year, after which his parents withdrew him from the school. In 1960, his
father emigrated to Canberra, Australia, to work as the head cook for the Ameri
can embassy, and Chan was sent to the China Drama Academy, a Peking Opera School
run by Master Yu Jim-yuen.[5][6] Chan trained rigorously for the next decade, e
xcelling in martial arts and acrobatics.[7] He eventually became part of the Sev
en Little Fortunes, a performance group made up of the school's best students, g
aining the stage name Yuen Lo in homage to his master. Chan became close friends
with fellow group members Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, and the three of them later
became known as the Three Brothers or Three Dragons.[8] After entering the film
industry, Chan along with Sammo Hung got the opportunity to train in Hapkido un
der the grand master Jin Pal Kim, and Chan eventually attained a black belt.[9]
He began his career by appearing in small roles at the age of five. At age eight
, he appeared with some of his fellow "Little Fortunes" in the film Big and Litt
le Wong Tin Bar (1962) with Li Li Hua playing his mother. Chan appeared with Li
again the following year, in The Love Eterne (1963) and had a small role in King
Hu's 1966 film Come Drink with Me.[10] In 1971, after an appearance as an extra
in another kung fu film, A Touch of Zen, Chan was signed to Chu Mu's Great Eart
h Film Company.[11] At seventeen, he worked as a stuntman in the Bruce Lee films
Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon under the stage name Chan Yuen Lung (Chinese:
???).[12] He received his first starring role later that year in Little Tiger o
f Canton that had a limited release in Hong Kong in 1973.[13] In 1975, due to th
e commercial failures of his early ventures into films and trouble finding stunt
work, Chan starred in a comedic adult film All in the Family in which Chan appe
ars in his first nude sex scene. It is the only film he has made to date without
a single fight scene or stunt sequence.[14] Jackie Chan later also appeared in
one other sex scene, in Shinjuku Incident.
Chan joined his parents in Canberra in 1976, where he briefly attended Dickson C
ollege and worked as a construction worker.[15] A fellow builder named Jack took
Chan under his wing, thus earning Chan the nickname of "Little Jack" that was l
ater shortened to "Jackie", and the name Jackie Chan has stuck with him ever sin
ce.[16] In the late 1990s, Chan changed his Chinese name to Fong Si-lung (Chines
e: ???), since his father's original surname was Fong.[16]
Film career
Early exploits: 1976 1979
Jackie Chan began his film career as a stuntman in the Bruce Lee films Fist of F

ury (1972) and Enter the Dragon (1973, pictured).

In 1976, Jackie Chan received a telegram from Willie Chan, a film producer in th
e Hong Kong film industry who had been impressed with Jackie's stunt work. Willi
e Chan offered him an acting role in a film directed by Lo Wei. Lo had seen Chan
's performance in the John Woo film Hand of Death (1976) and planned to model hi
m after Bruce Lee with the film New Fist of Fury.[11] His stage name was changed
to Sing Lung (Chinese: ??, also transcribed as Cheng Long,[17] literally "becom
e the dragon") to emphasise his similarity to Bruce Lee, whose stage name meant
"Little Dragon" in Chinese. The film was unsuccessful because Chan was not accus
tomed to Lee's martial arts style. Despite the film's failure, Lo Wei continued
producing films with similar themes, but with little improvement at the box offi
ce.[18]
Chan's first major breakthrough was the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, s
hot while he was loaned to Seasonal Film Corporation under a two-picture deal.[1
9] Director Yuen Woo-ping allowed Chan complete freedom over his stunt work. The
film established the comedic kung fu genre, and proved refreshing to the Hong K
ong audience.[20] Chan then starred in Drunken Master, which finally propelled h
im to mainstream success.[21]
Upon Chan's return to Lo Wei's studio, Lo tried to replicate the comedic approac
h of Drunken Master, producing Half a Loaf of Kung Fu and Spiritual Kung Fu.[16]
He also gave Chan the opportunity to co-direct The Fearless Hyena with Kenneth
Tsang. When Willie Chan left the company, he advised Jackie to decide for himsel
f whether or not to stay with Lo Wei. During the shooting of Fearless Hyena Part
II, Chan broke his contract and joined Golden Harvest, prompting Lo to blackmai
l Chan with triads, blaming Willie for his star's departure. The dispute was res
olved with the help of fellow actor and director Jimmy Wang Yu, allowing Chan to
stay with Golden Harvest.[19]
Success in the action comedy genre: 1980 1987
Willie Chan became Jackie's personal manager and firm friend, and has remained s
o for over 30 years. He was instrumental in launching Chan's international caree
r, beginning with his first forays into the American film industry in the 1980s.
His first Hollywood film was The Big Brawl in 1980.[22] Chan then played a mino
r role in the 1981 film The Cannonball Run, which grossed $100 million worldwide
. Despite being largely ignored by audiences in favour of established American a
ctors such as Burt Reynolds, Chan was impressed by the outtakes shown at the clo
sing credits, inspiring him to include the same device in his future films.
After the commercial failure of The Protector in 1985, Chan temporarily abandone
d his attempts to break into the US market, returning his focus to Hong Kong fil
ms.[18]
Back in Hong Kong, Chan's films began to reach a larger audience in East Asia, w
ith early successes in the lucrative Japanese market including The Young Master
(1980) and Dragon Lord (1982). The Young Master went on to beat previous box off
ice records set by Bruce Lee and established Chan as Hong Kong cinema's top star
. With Dragon Lord, he began experimenting with elaborate stunt action sequences
,[23] including a pyramid fight scene that holds the record for the most takes f
or a single sequence of scenes with 2900 takes,[24] and the final fight scene wh
ere he performs various stunts, including one where he does a back flip off a lo
ft and falls to the lower ground.[25]
Chan produced a number of action comedy films with his opera school friends Samm
o Hung and Yuen Biao. The three co-starred together for the first time in 1983 i
n Project A, which introduced a dangerous stunt-driven style of martial arts tha
t won it the Best Action Design Award at the third annual Hong Kong Film Awards.
[26] Over the following two years, the "Three Brothers" appeared in Wheels on Me
als and the original Lucky Stars trilogy.[27][28] In 1985, Chan made the first P

olice Story film, a US-influenced action comedy in which Chan performed a number
of dangerous stunts. It was named the "Best Film" at the 1986 Hong Kong Film Aw
ards.[29] In 1987, Chan played "Asian Hawk," an Indiana Jones-esque character, i
n the film Armour of God. The film was Chan's biggest domestic box office succes
s up to that point, grossing over HK$35 million.[30]
Acclaimed sequels and Hollywood breakthrough: 1988 1998
In 1988, Chan starred alongside Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao for the last time to da
te, in the film Dragons Forever. Hung co-directed with Corey Yuen, and the villa
in in the film was played by Yuen Wah, both of whom were fellow graduates of the
China Drama Academy.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Chan starred in a number of successful sequel
s beginning with Police Story 2, which won the award for Best Action Choreograph
y at the 1989 Hong Kong Film Awards. This was followed by Armour of God II: Oper
ation Condor, and Police Story 3: Super Cop, for which Chan won the Best Actor A
ward at the 1993 Golden Horse Film Festival. In 1994, Chan reprised his role as
Wong Fei-hung in Drunken Master II, which was listed in Time Magazine's All-Time
100 Movies.[31] Another sequel, Police Story 4: First Strike, brought more awar
ds and domestic box office success for Chan, but did not fare as well in foreign
markets.[32]
Chan rekindled his Hollywood ambitions in the 1990s, but refused early offers to
play villains in Hollywood films to avoid being typecast in future roles. For e
xample, Sylvester Stallone offered him the role of Simon Phoenix, a criminal in
the futuristic film Demolition Man. Chan declined and the role was taken by Wesl
ey Snipes.[33]
Chan finally succeeded in establishing a foothold in the North American market i
n 1995 with a worldwide release of Rumble in the Bronx, attaining a cult followi
ng in the United States that was rare for Hong Kong movie stars.[34] The success
of Rumble in the Bronx led to a 1996 release of Police Story 3: Super Cop in th
e United States under the title Supercop, which grossed a total of US$16,270,600
. Chan's first huge blockbuster success came when he co-starred with Chris Tucke
r in the 1998 buddy cop action comedy Rush Hour,[35] grossing US$130 million in
the United States alone.[19] This film made him a Hollywood star, after which he
wrote his autobiography in collaboration with Jeff Yang entitled I Am Jackie Ch
an.
Fame in Hollywood and Dramatization: 1999 2007
Jet Li and Jackie Chan
In 1998, Chan released his final film for Golden Harvest, Who Am I?. After leavi
ng Golden Harvest in 1999, he produced and starred alongside Shu Qi in Gorgeous
a romantic comedy that focused on personal relationships and featured only a few
martial arts sequences.[36] Chan then helped create a PlayStation game in 2000
called Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, to which he lent his voice and performed the mot
ion capture.[37] He continued his Hollywood success in 2000 when he teamed up wi
th Owen Wilson in the Western action comedy Shanghai Noon which spawned the sequ
el Shanghai Knights (2003).[38] He reunited with Chris Tucker for Rush Hour 2 (2
001) which was an even bigger success than the original grossing $347 million wo
rldwide. He experimented with special effects with The Tuxedo (2002) and The Med
allion (2003) which were not as successful critically or commercially. In 2004 h
e teamed up with Steve Coogan in the big-budget loose adaptation of Jules Verne'
s Around the World in 80 Days.
Despite the success of the Rush Hour
ated with Hollywood over the limited
filmmaking process.[39] In response
m industry in 2003, Chan started his

and Shanghai Noon films, Chan became frustr

range of roles and lack of control over the
to Golden Harvest's withdrawal from the fil
own film production company, JCE Movies Lim

ited (Jackie Chan Emperor Movies Limited) in association with Emperor Multimedia
Group (EMG).[19] His films have since featured an increasing number of dramatic
scenes while continuing to succeed at the box office; examples include New Poli
ce Story (2004), The Myth (2005) and the hit film Rob-B-Hood (2006).[40][41][42]
Chan's next release was the third installment in the Rush Hour series: Rush Hour
3 in August 2007. It grossed US$255 million.[43] However, it was a disappointme
nt in Hong Kong, grossing only HK$3.5 million during its opening weekend.[44]
New experiments and change in style: 2008 present
Jackie Chan on the set of Chinese Zodiac (May 2, 2012)
Filming of The Forbidden Kingdom (released in 2008), Chan's first onscreen colla
boration with fellow Chinese actor Jet Li, was completed on 24 August 2007 and t
he movie was released in April 2008. The movie featured heavy use of effects and
wires.[45][46] Chan voiced Master Monkey in Kung Fu Panda (released in June 200
8), appearing with Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, and Angelina Jolie.[47] In additi
on, he has assisted Anthony Szeto in an advisory capacity for the writer-directo
r's film Wushu, released on 1 May 2008. The film stars Sammo Hung and Wang Wenji
e as father and son.[48]
In November 2007, Chan began filming Shinjuku Incident, a dramatic role featurin
g no martial arts sequences with director Derek Yee, which sees Chan take on the
role of a Chinese immigrant in Japan.[49] The film was released on 2 April 2009
. According to his blog, Chan discussed his wishes to direct a film after comple
ting Shinjuku Incident, something he has not done for a number of years.[50] The
film is expected to be the third in the Armour of God series, and has a working
title of Armour of God III: Chinese Zodiac. Chan had completed shooting the mov
ie and will be released on 12 December 2012.[51][needs update] Because the Scree
n Actors Guild did not go on strike, Chan started shooting his next Hollywood mo
vie The Spy Next Door at the end of October in New Mexico.[52] In The Spy Next D
oor, Chan plays an undercover agent whose cover is blown when he looks after the
children of his girlfriend. In Little Big Soldier, Chan stars, alongside Leehom
Wang as a soldier in the Warring States period in China. He is the lone survivo
r of his army and must bring a captured enemy soldier Leehom Wang to the capital
of his province.
In 2010 he starred with Jaden Smith in The Karate Kid, a remake of the 1984 orig
inal.[53] This was Chan's first dramatic American film. He plays Mr. Han, a kung
fu master and maintenance man who teaches Jaden Smith's character kung fu so he
can defend himself from school bullies. His role in "The Karate Kid" garnered J
ackie Chan the Favorite Buttkicker award at the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Award
s in 2011.[54]
In Chan's next movie, Shaolin, he plays the cook of the temple instead of one of
the major characters.
His 100th movie, 1911, was released on September 26, 2011. Chan was the co-direc
tor, executive producer, and lead star of the movie.[55] While Chan has directed
over ten films over his career, this was his first directorial work since Who A
m I? in 1998. 1911 premiered in North America on 14 October.[56]
While at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Chan announced that he was retiring from
action films citing that he was getting too old for the genre. He later clarifi
ed that he would not be completely retiring from action films, but would be perf
orming fewer stunts and taking care of his body more.[57]
Personal life
In 1982, Chan married Lin Feng-jiao (aka Joan Lin), a Taiwanese actress. Their s
on, singer and actor Jaycee Chan, was born that same year.[39] As a result of an

extra-marital affair with Chan, Elaine Ng Yi-Lei bore a daughter in 1999.[58][5

9][60] In 2009, Chan received an honorary doctorate from the University of Cambo
dia.[61][62] Chan is a Buddhist.[63] He speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and
American Sign Language and also speaks some German, Korean, Japanese, Spanish,
and Thai.[64] Chan is an avid football fan and supports the Hong Kong national f
ootball team, England National Football Team, and Manchester City.[65]
Stunts

Chan has performed most of his own stunts throughout his film career, which are
choreographed by the Jackie Chan Stunt Team. He has stated in interviews that th
e primary inspiration for his more comedic stunts were films such as The General
directed by and starring Buster Keaton, who was also known to perform his own s
tunts. Since its establishment in 1983, Chan has used the team in all his subseq
uent films to make choreographing easier, given his understanding of each member
's abilities.[66] Chan and his team undertake many of the stunts performed by ot
her characters in his films, shooting the scenes so that their faces are obscure
d.[67]
The dangerous nature of his stunts makes it difficult for Chan to get insurance,
especially in the United States, where his stunt work is contractually limited.
[67] Chan holds the Guinness World Record for "Most Stunts by a Living Actor", w
hich emphasises "no insurance company will underwrite Chan's productions in whic
h he performs all his own stunts".[68] In addition, he holds an unrecognised rec
ord for the most number of takes for a single shot in a film, having shot over 2
900 retakes for a complex scene involving a Jianzi game in Dragon Lord.[69]
Chan has been injured frequently when attempting stunts; many of them have been
shown as outtakes or as bloopers during the closing credits of his films. He cam
e closest to death filming Armour of God, when he fell from a tree and fractured
his skull. Over the years, Chan has dislocated his pelvis and also broken numer
ous parts of body including his fingers, toes, nose, both cheekbones, hips, ster
num, neck, ankle, and ribs.[70][71] Promotional materials for Rumble in the Bron
x emphasised that Chan performed all of the stunts, and one version of the movie
poster even diagrammed his many injuries.
Filmography and screen persona
Main article: Jackie Chan filmography
Jackie Chan at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Chan created his screen persona as a response to the late Bruce Lee, and the num
erous imitators who appeared before and after Lee's death. In contrast to Lee's
characters, who were typically stern, morally upright heroes, Chan plays well-me
aning, slightly foolish regular men (often at the mercy of their friends, girlfr
iends or families) who always triumph in the end despite the odds.[16] Additiona
lly, Chan has stated that he deliberately styles his movement to be the opposite
of Lee's: where Lee held his arms wide, Chan holds his tight to the body; where
Lee was loose and flowing, Chan is tight and choppy. Despite the success of the
Rush Hour series, Chan has stated that he is not a fan of it since he neither a
ppreciates the action scenes in the movie, nor understands American humour.[72]
In the 2000s the aging Chan grew tired of being typecast as an action hero, prom
pting him to act with more emotion in his latest films.[73] In New Police Story,
he portrayed a character suffering from alcoholism and mourning his murdered co
lleagues.[74] To further shed the image of Mr. Nice Guy, Chan played an anti-her
o for the first time in Rob-B-Hood starring as Thongs, a burglar with gambling p
roblems.[75] In 2009's Shinjuku Incident, a serious drama about unsavory charact
ers set in Tokyo, Chan plays a low-level gangster.[76]

Television work
In 2000, Chan hosted a fictionalised version of himself in the animated series J
ackie Chan Adventures, which ran until 2005.[77]
In July 2008, the BTV reality television series entitled The Disciple (simplifie
d Chinese: ????; traditional Chinese: ????; literally: "Disciple of the Dragon")
concluded. The aim of the series produced by and featured Chan, was to find a n
ew star to become Chan's "successor" and student in filmmaking. The winner of th
e series was Jack Tu (Tu Sheng Cheng), who is now set to star in three modern Ch
inese action films, one of which was scripted by Chan, and all three to be co-pr
oduced by Chan's company JCE Movies Limited.[78][79][80]
Music career
Further information: Jackie Chan discography
Jackie Chan as singer.
Chan had vocal lessons whilst at the Peking Opera School in his childhood. He be
gan producing records professionally in the 1980s and has gone on to become a su
ccessful singer in Hong Kong and Asia. He has released 20 albums since 1984 and
has performed vocals in Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Taiwanese and English. He
often sings the theme songs of his films, which play over the closing credits.
Chan's first musical recording was "Kung Fu Fighting Man", the theme song played
over the closing credits of The Young Master (1980).[81] At least 10 of these r
ecordings have been released on soundtrack albums for the films.[74][82] His Can
tonese song Story of a Hero (????) (theme song of Police Story) was selected by
the Royal Hong Kong Police and incorporated into their recruitment advertisement
in 1994.[83]
Chan voiced the character of Shang in the Chinese release of the Walt Disney ani
mated feature, Mulan (1998). He also performed the song "I'll Make a Man Out of
You", for the film's soundtrack. For the US release, the speaking voice was perf
ormed by B.D. Wong and the singing voice was done by Donny Osmond.
In 2007, Chan recorded and released "We Are Ready", the official one-year countd
own song to the 2008 Summer Olympics which he performed at a ceremony marking th
e one-year countdown to the 2008 Summer Paralympics.[84] Chan also released one
of the two official Olympics albums, Official Album for the Beijing 2008 Olympic
Games

Chan has received worldwide recognition for his acting and stunt work. His award
s include the Innovator Award from the American Choreography Awards and a lifeti
me achievement award from the Taurus World Stunt Awards.[87] He has stars on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars.[88] In addition, Chan
has also been honoured by placing his hand and footprints at Grauman's Chinese
Theatre.[89] Despite considerable box office success in the Northsouth Territori
es, Chan's American films have been criticised with regard to their action chore
ography. Reviewers of Rush Hour 2, The Tuxedo, and Shanghai Knights criticised t
he toning down of Chan's fighting scenes, citing less intensity compared to his
earlier films.[90][91][92] The comedic value of his films is questioned; some cr
itics stating that it can be childish at times.[93] Chan was awarded the MBE in
1989 and the Silver Bauhinia Star (SBS) in 1999.

Chan has been the subject of Ash's song "Kung Fu", Heavy Vegetable's "Jackie Cha
n Is a Punk Rocker", Leehom Wang's "Long Live Chinese People", as well as in "Ja
ckie Chan" by Frank Chickens, and television shows Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Gr
eat Job!, Celebrity Deathmatch and Family Guy. He has been the inspiration for m
anga such as Dragon Ball (including a character with the alias "Jackie Chun"),[9
4] the character Lei Wulong in Tekken and the fighting-type Pokmon Hitmonchan.[95
][96][97]
Jackie Chan has a sponsorship deal with Mitsubishi Motors that has resulted in t
he appearance of Mitsubishi cars in a number of his films. Furthermore, Mitsubis
hi launched a limited series of Evolution cars personally customised by Chan.[98
][99][100]
A number of video games have featured Chan. Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu was rel
eased in 1990 for the PC-Engine and NES. In 1995, Chan was featured in the arcad
e fighting game Jackie Chan The Kung-Fu Master. A series of Japanese games were
released on the MSX by Pony, based on several of Chan's films (Project A, Projec
t A 2, Police Story, The Protector and Wheels on Meals).[101]
Chan says he has always wanted to be a role model to children, and has remained
popular with them due to his good-natured acting style. He has generally refused
to play villains and has been very restrained in using swear words in his films
he persuaded the director of Rush Hour to take "fuck" out of the script.[102] C
han's greatest regret in life is not having received a proper education,[103] in
spiring him to fund educational institutions around the world. He funded the con
struction of the Jackie Chan Science Centre at the Australian National Universit
y[104] and the establishment of schools in poor regions of China.[105]
Chan is a spokesperson for the Government of Hong Kong, appearing in public serv
ice announcements. In a Clean Hong Kong commercial, he urged the people of Hong
Kong to be more considerate with regards to littering, a problem that has been w
idespread for decades.[106] Furthermore, in an advertisement promoting nationali
sm, he gave a short explanation of the March of the Volunteers, the national ant
hem of the People's Republic of China.[107] When Hong Kong Disneyland opened in
2005, Chan participated in the opening ceremony.[108] In the United States, Chan
appeared alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in a government advert to combat copyr
ight infringement and made another public service announcement with Los Angeles
County Sheriff Lee Baca to encourage people, especially Asians, to join the Los
Angeles County Sheriff's Department.[109][110]
Construction has begun on a Jackie Chan museum in Shanghai. In November 2013 a s
tatue of Chan was unveiled in front of what is now known as the JC Film Gallery,
scheduled to open in the spring of 2014.[111]
On 25 June 2013, Chan responded to a hoax Facebook page created a few days earli
er that alleged he had died. He said that several people contacted him to congra
tulate him on his recent engagement, and soon thereafter contacted him again to
ask if he was still alive. He posted a Facebook message, commenting: "If I died,
I would probably tell the world!"[112][113]
Political views and controversy
Thee Hong Kong Star, in Hong Kong.
During a news conference in Shanghai on 28 March 2004, Chan referred to the rece
ntly concluded Republic of China presidential election, 2004 in Taiwan, in which
Democratic Progressive Party candidates Chen Shui-bian and Annette Lu were re-e
lected as President and Vice-President as "the biggest joke in the world".[114][
115][116] A Taiwanese legislator and senior member of the DPP, Parris Chang, cal
led for the government of Taiwan to ban his films and bar him the right to visit
Taiwan.[115] Some 50 police and security personnel were required to separate Ch

an from protesters, who attempted to spit at him when he arrived at Taipei airpo
rt on 18 June 2008.[117]

Referring to his participation in the torch relay for the 2008 Summer Olympics i
n Beijing, Chan spoke out against demonstrators who disrupted the relay several
times attempting to draw attention to a wide-ranging number of grievances agains
t the Chinese government. He warned those "publicity seekers" planning to stop h
im from carrying the Olympic Torch "not get anywhere near me." Chan said that Ch
ina was trying to improve and the Olympics is a chance for the country to open u
p and learn from the outside world.[118]
On 18 April 2009, during a panel discussion at the annual Boao Forum for Asia, h
e questioned whether it was good to have freedom.[119] Saying that Hong Kong and
Taiwan were very chaotic, he added, "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Ch
inese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what w
e want."[120][121] Chan's comments prompted an angry response from prominent fig
ures in Taiwan and Hong Kong.[122][123] A spokesman later qualified that Chan wa
s referring to freedom in the entertainment industry rather than Chinese society
at large.[124]
In December 2012, Chan caused outrage when he criticised Hong Kong as a "city of
protest", suggesting that demonstrators' rights in Hong Kong should be limited.
[125] The same month, in an interview with Phoenix TV, Chan stated that the Unit
ed States was the "most corrupt" country in the world.[126][127] which in turn a
ngered parts of the online community[127] and prompted a critical response from
Max Fisher in which he noted that Chan's comments were rooted, "not just in atti
tudes toward America but in China's proud but sometimes insecure view of itself.
"[128] Other articles situated Chan's comments in the context of his career and
life in America, including his, "embrace of the American film market"[128] and s
eeking asylum in the United States from Hong Kong triads.[129]
Entrepreneurship and philanthropy
The Duke of Cambridge with actor Jackie Chan at the London Conference on The Ill
egal Wildlife Trade at the Natural History Museum, 12 February 2014.
In addition to his film production and distribution company, JCE Movies Limited,
Jackie Chan also owns or co-owns the production companies JC Group China, Jacki
e & Willie Productions[130] (with Willie Chan) and Jackie & JJ Productions.[131]
Chan has also put his name to Jackie Chan Theater International, a cinema chain
in China, co-run by Hong Kong company Sparkle Roll Group Ltd. The first Jackie Ch
an-Yaolai International Cinema opened in February 2010, and is claimed to be the l
argest cinema complex in China, with 17 screens and 3,500 seats. Chan expressed
his hopes that the size of the venue would afford young, non-commercial director
s the opportunity to have their films screened. 15 further cinemas in the chain
are planned for 2010,[needs update] throughout Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou,
with a potential total of 65 cinemas throughout the country proposed.[132][133]
In 2004, Chan launched his own line of clothing, which bears a Chinese dragon lo
go and the English word "Jackie", or the initials "JC".[134] Chan also has a num
ber of other branded businesses. His sushi restaurant chain, Jackie's Kitchen, h
as outlets throughout Hong Kong, as well as seven in South Korea and one in Hawa
ii, with plans to open another in Las Vegas. Jackie Chan's Cafe has outlets in B
eijing, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and the Philippines. Other ventures include Jack
ie Chan Signature Club gyms (a partnership with California Fitness), and a line
of chocolates, cookies and nutritional oatcakes.[135] With each of his businesse
s, a percentage of the profits goes to various charities, including the Jackie C
han Charitable Foundation.

Chan is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and has championed charitable works and ca
uses. He has campaigned for conservation, against animal abuse and has promoted
disaster relief efforts for floods in mainland China and the 2004 Indian Ocean T
sunami.[6][136][137]
Jackie Chan joins US President Barack Obama to welcome China's President, Hu Jin
tao, to the state dinner at the White House on 19 January 2011.
In June 2006, citing his admiration of the efforts made by Warren Buffett and Bi
ll Gates to help those in need, Chan pledged the donation of half his assets to
charity upon his death.[138] On 10 March 2008, Chan was the guest of honour for
the launch, by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, of the Jackie Chan Science
Centre at the John Curtin School of Medical Research of the Australian National
University. Chan is also a supporter and ambassador of Save China's Tigers, whic
h aims to save the endangered South China Tiger through breeding and releasing t
hem into the wild.[139] Following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Chan donated RMB 1
0 million to help those in need. In addition, he is planning to make a film abou
t the Chinese earthquake to raise money for survivors.[140] In response to the 2
011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Chan and fellow Hong Kong-based celebrities,
including American rapper MC Jin, headlined a special three-hour charity concert
, titled Artistes 311 Love Beyond Borders, on 1 April 2011 to help with Japan's
disaster recovery effort.[141][142] The 3-hour concert raised over $3.3 million.
[143]
Chan founded the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation in 1988, to offers scholarshi
p and active help to Hong Kong's young people and provide aid to victims of natu
ral disaster or illness.[3] In 2005 Chan created the Dragon's Heart Foundation t
o help children and the elderly in remote areas of China by building schools, pr
oviding books, fees, and uniforms for children.[144] The foundation also provide
s for the elderly with donations of warm clothing, wheelchairs, and other items.
