Jackie Chan’s Biography and Profile, Net Worth

Jackie Chan’s biography begins with Charles and Lee-lee Chan, who were born in Hong Kong on April 7, 1954.

Jackie Chan’s Early Life

Jackie Chan was born Chen Kongsheng, literally “born in Hong Kong” Chen. His mother nicknamed him Bao Bao (Chinese = shell) because he would roll like a baby.

Chen’s parents worked for the French ambassador to Hong Kong and were poor.

At the age of seven, he enrolled in a life-improving opportunity at the Chinese Opera Research Institute, where he trained for a decade for the Peking Opera troupe. There he studied martial arts and acrobatics centered on entertainment .

early acting career

Chen joined his school’s best student performance group “Seven Little Fortunes”, where he was awarded the stage name Yuen Lo. He also befriended Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, a trio that will be collectively known in Hong Kong as “Three Brothers” or “Three Jiaolongs.”

Finally, Chen appeared in the movie “Rhubarb Little King Bar” with the others in “Seven Little Fortunes”. He then went on to appear in more films as a child.

Early agency failures and breakthroughs

At the age of 17, Chen worked as a stuntman in two Bruce Lee films: “Fist of Wrath” and “Into the Dragon.” He then got his first adult role in “Guangzhou Little Tigers”.

In 1976, a filmmaker named Willie Chen offered him a role in his film “Lowe” in Hong Kong, and he appeared in the 1978 film “Snake in the Shadow of the Eagle”. This is where Chen started to become a comedic kung fu actor. Eventually, he got his big break in the classic “Drunken Fist.”

American film breakthrough

In 1995, “The Bronx Rumble” starring Jackie Chan was released in the United States. Chan plays an American tourist forced to protect his uncle’s market from motorcycle gangs. His performance in the movies, especially from the action and martial arts point of view, started to create a wave of adoration in the country. Finally in 1998, he starred with Chris Tucker in the hit film Rush Hour, a comedy-action flick that cemented his Hollywood fame in a big way.

Jackie Chan’s martial arts background

Many of Zen’s martial arts techniques come from artistic practice, which is simultaneously performed at the Chinese Opera Academy headed by Yu Jinyuan. However, he did eventually train exclusively at Hapkido, earning a black belt under his gold belt king Jinbao. All in all, Chen has trained in Shaolin Kung Fu, Taekwondo and Hapkido.

“He took his Hapkido seriously, practicing for hours at a time,” Kim said, according to the Web-vue.com article. In fact, Kim pointed out that Chen was one of the hardest crew members he had ever encountered.

The name becomes Jackie Chan

After some difficulties finding stunt work, and after his early commercial failures in the acting field, Chen joined his parents in Canberra in 1976.

There, he attended Dixon College and worked in architecture. A construction friend named Jack put Chen under his wing, which eventually earned him the nickname “Little Jack.” This was eventually shortened to “Jackie”. Thus, Jackie Chan’s name was born.

In honor of his father’s original Fang, Chen also changed his name to Fang Silong.

Chen is hailed as one of the greatest stuntmen in history. The sheer danger of his actions is evidenced by the injuries he suffered. Chen broke his skull on his set of “armor of God” and broke most of the fingers in his hand. In addition, he broke his nose, including cheekbones, jaw, buttocks, sternum, neck, toes and ankles.
