Name: Jackie ChanDate of Birth: 7th April 1954
Place of Born: Hong Kong
Jackie’s parents, Charles and Lee-lee Chan named him Chan Kong-sang which means "born in Hong Kong." Jackie weighed 12 pounds while he was born and his mother necessary surgical treatment to deliver him. Jackie's parents are so poor; so as to they had to make use of money from friends to pay the surgeon. Even though Jackie's parents are poor, they had secure jobs at the French embassy in Hong Kong. Charles was a cook and Lee-lee was a housekeeper. Collectively, the Chan family is alive on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. While Jackie was youthful, his father would awaken him in the early hours in the morning and in concert they would practice kung fu. Charles Chan supposed that learning kung fu would help make Jackie's personality, teaching him endurance, force, and bravery. While Jackie was seven years aged Charles took a job as the head cook at the American embassy in Australia. He felt that it would be best for Jackie to stay behind in Hong Kong to be trained a skill and so enrolled him in the China Drama Academy where Jackie would be alive for the after that 10 years of his living.
All through Jackie's moment at the school, he learned martial arts, acrobatics, singing, and acting. The school was intended to get ready boy
s for a life in the Peking Opera. Chinese opera was incredibly dissimilar from any other type of opera. It included singing, tumbling, and acrobatics as well as martial arts skills and acting. Students at the school be harshly closely controlled and were trodden if they refuse to complied or made faults. It was a extremely cruel and hard life but Jackie had nowhere besides to go, so he stayed. He hardly ever saw his parents for a lot of years. While at the China Academy, Jackie made his acting first appearance at age eight in the Cantonese movie "Seven Little Valiant Fighters: Big and Little Wong Tin Bar." He shortly teamed with further opera students in a performance group called "The Seven Little Fortunes." Fellow actors Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were also affiliates. Years afterward the three would work jointly and become recognized as The Three Brothers. As Jackie got older he worked as a stuntman and an added in the Hong Kong film industry.
When Jackie was 17, he graduated from the China Drama Academy. Unluckily the Chinese opera was no longer incredibly admired, so Jackie and his colleagues had to find other work. This was hard for the reason that, at the school they were not at all taught how to read or write. The only work obtainable to them was untrained labor or stunt work. Every year a lot of movies were made in Hong Kong and there was forever requiring for young, strong stuntmen. Jackie was extremely fit and inventive, and soon gained a standing for being fearless; Jackie Chan would try whatever thing. Soon he was in requiring. More than the next few years, Jackie worked as a stuntman, but when the Hong Kong movie industry began to fail, he was forced to go away to Australia to be alive with his parents. He worked in a restaurant and on an edifice site. It was there that he got the name "Jackie." A worker named Jack had trouble pronouncing "Kong-sang" and start
ed calling Jackie "little Jack." That rapidly became “Jackie” and the name wedged.
Jackie was awfully sad in Australia. The construction work was hard and tedious. His rescue came in the outward appearance of a telegram from a man named Willie Chan. Willie Chan worked in the Hong Kong movie industry and was give the impression of being for someone to star in a new-fangled movie being made by Lo Wei, a famed Hong Kong producer/director. Willie had seen Jackie at work as a stuntman and had been frightened. Jackie called Willie and they talked. Jackie didn't know it but Willie would end up flattering his best friend and manager. Soon Jackie was on his way back to Hong Kong to star in "New Fist of Fury." It was 1976 and Jackie Chan was 21 years old. On one occasion Jackie got back to Hong Kong, Willie Chan took manage over Jackie's career. To this day Jackie is rapid to tip out that he owes his achievement to Willie. On the other hand, the movies that Jackie made for Lo Wei were not very victorious. The crisis was that Jackie's talents were not being used correctly. It was only when Jackie was clever to add his own thoughts that he became a star. He brought comedy to military arts movies; his first achievement was "Snake in Eagle's Shadow." This was followed by "Drunken Master" another runaway success. And Jackie's initial ever directing job,
"Fearless Hyena." every one is huge punches.
Jackie has been married to Lin Feng-Jiao as 1982 and has a son, actor-singer Jaycee Chan.
Jackie was flattering an enormous achievement in Asia. Regrettably, it would be a lot of years previous to the same could be said of his fame in America. Behind a sequence of lukewarm receptions in the U.S., more often than not owing to miscasting, Jackie left the States and focused his concentration on making movies in Hong Kong. It would be 10 years before he returned to make Rumble in the Bronx, the movie that initiated Jackie to American audiences and tenable him a place in their hearts. Rumble was followed by the Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon series, which put Jackie on the Hollywood A list. Regardless of his Hollywood achievements, Jackie became aggrava
ted by the not have diverse roles for Asian actors and his own inability to manage confident aspects of the filming in America. He continued to try, on the other hand, creation The Tuxedo, The Medallion, and Around the World in 80 Days, none of which was the smash hit that Rush Hour or Shanghai Noon had been. Jackie's lifelong attachment to health has served him well as he continues to do stunt work and action sequences in his films. In recent years, Jackie's focus has shifted and he is trying new genres of film – fantasy, drama, and romance – and is expenditure more and more time on his aid organization work. He continues to make films in Hong Kong, including the blockbuster drama New Police Story in 2004.
