Family and children of Jackie Chan

The name of Jackie Chan is familiar not only to film lovers, but also to fans of martial arts and music lovers. A multi-talented person has hundreds of fan clubs around the globe, his contribution to world art is truly priceless. But his private life to advertise the militants' star does not aspire at all. But still something about it is known.

The personal life of Jackie Chan

Jackie was born in China in 1954. His family was poor. Dad was a kitchen worker, and my mother retired to the homes of rich people. In early childhood, he began attending classes at the Beijing Opera, which gave him a good base for starting kung fu training. From the age of ten, he tried to appear in episodic roles and extras of movies, then moved on to work as a stuntman on set. And so, gradually, step by step, Jackie has achieved the heyday of his career. Now he is not only a famous actor of militants and comedies, but also a director and a singer. In his filmography more than a hundred roles, and in the discography - twenty albums and about a hundred songs. In addition, he is also a generous benefactor.

In the early 80's, Jackie married Asian actress Lin Feng Jiao. So it turned out that their only son and heir was born immediately after the day of marriage. For the sake of the Lin family, she abandoned her career and became a reliable rear, support and support for Chan. She always eschewed the attention of the press and Jackie's admirers, tried to be his ideal wife and support in everything. However, this did not stop Jackie from changing it. Learning about this, Lin behaved very dignified, and the unfaithful actor managed to beg for himself forgiveness. For a long time, the public remained a mystery, are there any children with Jackie Chan, and if so, how many of them? It turned out that there is a son born in a marriage, and an illegitimate daughter.

A son

Jackie Chan's wife and children are a topic that always interested his fans. As soon as his son Jaycee Chan grew up, he stopped hiding him from the paparazzi. Residents of China quite often have two names, and even three - in different dialects of their language and the European version. Jaycee Chan is a European name, and at birth the boy was called Fan Zu Min.

Being the children of Jackie Chan, whose photo is constantly flickering on posters and covers, is not easy. This was felt in his experience, both his offspring. But the boy inherited from his father talent and craving for music and acting. After completing his studies at school, Jaycee entered college in the US state of Virginia. However, the process of obtaining knowledge did not arouse his enthusiasm, and the college Chan threw. Moving to Los Angeles, he began to study acting courses, vocals, classical guitar, and also attended a dance school. Then, Jaycey decided to build a career not in America, but in Hong Kong and went there. The first solo album he recorded did not help him achieve fame and success, rather, on the contrary. The young man was attacked by critics. The same thing happened with several films.

Despite all the setbacks, Chiang Jr. did not despair and did not give up trying to get out of the shadow of the famous father. A certain success along the way was shooting in the film "Young", released in 2007. But then something went wrong again, the failure followed the failure. It did not help even Jackie's participation in the projects. And all this led to the fact that in 2014, Jaycee went to prison on charges of using and storing drugs. After serving the deadline, he went out, asked forgiveness from his parents and fans, and vowed to never again touch forbidden substances. How truthful were his words, only time will show.

Daughter

Thanks to the birth of a girl named Etta Wu a scandal broke out, and Jackie Chan got a couple of gray hair. Daughter gave him a beginner actress and beauty queen Asia early 90's Elaine Wu. Jackie strongly resisted the birth of a child born out of wedlock, foreseeing trouble. But Elaine refused to have an abortion, and in the fall of 1999, on the seventh month of pregnancy, Etta was born.

Chan begged for forgiveness from his wife, while justifying himself before the public. He begged forgiveness, but refused to acknowledge his daughter. The former mistress took the child and went to live in Shanghai, where she independently coped with the role of a single mother. However, apparently, for Etta such a family situation did not go in vain. From a great resentment in 2015, she publicly renounced her father, saying that he was no one to her, just a man, and no more. And in the spring of 2017 the girl was taken to the hospital after an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide. Whether this difficult situation brings Chan to his daughter or not, so far remains a mystery.

The Jackie Chan family: children and relationships with them

There is a version that the famous actor, fighter and comedian never wanted children, and to marry, too, did not burn with desire. But life decided differently, and he became a father twice. And in both cases, Jackie Chan's relationship with the children leaves much to be desired. His son, Jaycee, he did not indulge in attention, giving all the time to his career. He himself admitted that he was having a hard time with him. There is no mutual understanding, different goals and values in life. When Jaycee was sent to prison, Jackie publicly refused to seek mitigation. However, after the son served time and repented, the relationship between father and son seems to have gone smoothly. But with an illegitimate daughter, Chiang not only does not communicate, but generally refuses to recognize her. The girl is growing up, she has a difficult teenage period, and she is very acutely aware of this disregard.
