Jackie Chan
(Actor)
.. Huo An
Born:
April 07, 1954
in
Hong Kong
Best Known For:
His death-defying stunts.
Early-life:
Born Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, in Hong Kong. He lived in Canberra, Australia, as a child while his parents worked at the American Embassy. At the age of six they sent him to the China Drama Academy, also known as the Opera School, where he was trained in music, dance, and traditional martial arts. A visiting film-maker offered him a tiny part in a movie, and soon afterwards Chan quit the school to concentrate on acting. He later returned to Australia, where he worked as a construction worker and gained the nickname Jackie, after a colleague.
Career:
Chan had small roles in Bruce Lee movies Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon, and also did stunt work and directed projects. After Lee died, Chan decided he didn't want to imitate him, so he developed his own film-making style, a mixture of action and comedy inspired by Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. By the 1980s, he was Asia's biggest star, and tried to break the US market by appearing in The Cannonball Run and its sequel. These days, Chan is a global superstar thanks to such movies as Rush Hour and Shanghai Knights and their sequels, and The Forbidden Kingdom, Kung Fu Panda, The Spy Next Door and the remake of The Karate Kid. In 2012 Chan announced he would be cutting down on the number of stunts he would perform in an attempt to take better care of himself.
