Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is a legendary Hong Kong actor, martial artist, filmmaker, and stuntman renowned for his acrobatic fighting style, innovative stunts, and signature blend of action and comedy. Chan began his training in martial arts, drama, acrobatics, and singing at a young age at the rigorous China Drama Academy. His early years as a stuntman in Bruce Lee films like "Fist of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon" laid the groundwork for his rise to fame.

Chan achieved breakthrough success in the late 1970s with hits like "Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow" and "Drunken Master," establishing a new genre of action-comedy. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he became a household name across Asia with blockbuster franchises such as "Police Story" and "Project A," often directing, producing, and choreographing his own films. His crossover into Hollywood came with the smash success of "Rumble in the Bronx" in 1995 and later, the "Rush Hour" series alongside Chris Tucker, cementing his status as a global superstar.

Known for performing his own daring stunts -- often without a safety net -- Chan has become an icon of perseverance and creativity in cinema. Beyond film, he is a talented singer, has released numerous albums, and is deeply involved in philanthropy through the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation and other initiatives. Over his decades-long career, he has received countless honors, including an honorary Oscar in 2016 for his extraordinary achievements in film.

Chan’s enduring appeal lies not only in his breathtaking action sequences but also in his everyman charm, humor, and commitment to pushing the boundaries of storytelling and physical performance. He remains one of the most beloved and influential figures in global entertainment.
