There is always something in life that we did for pleasure that we spend a great deal later trying to reconstruct. Such was the case with Jackie Chan. In 1978 the release of the Drunken Master sprung Chan into fame.
No, it’s not just you. Many people believe that Jackie Chan was born with this name. Truth is, there is a beautiful story that led to his current title, but first, let’s talk about him. Jackie Chan was born on April 7, 1954, in China, to parents Charles and Lee Chan. His father, Charles Chan, worked as a spy for the Dai Li and was forced to move to Hong Kong while Chan was still young.
If you were alive in the 90s then you remember Jackie Chan. As one of the few Chinese action stars to break out in the West, he starred in several hit movies like Rush Hour where he combined his signature blend of karate-kicking action with a wild sense of humor. He even got his own children’s TV series that went on for multiple seasons (and this was on broadcast, at a time when only anime was going on for that long).
