Never Grow Up | Jackie Chan

pick

I don't usually read autobiographies but I really enjoyed this. Learning JC's school was fascinating, it sounds like something from a novel. I admire how up front he was about the darker aspects of his life & some of the things he is not particularly proud of. I think it takes real courage to risk your reputation to acknowledge & publish these darker aspects to those who call themselves a fan of his and didn't already know already (me included).

Who doesn‘t like Jackie Chan? He seems so friendly. But I don‘t know what to think of him after reading his book. The first part is a great story of struggle. The second is largely him boasting. Telling the reader how much money he spends on everything even on charity. I‘ve got a feeling if you met him he wouldn‘t be as nice as you‘d expect. Great career. And certainly set the bar for stunts in movies. I‘ll give him that. Read for the 1st part.

The nice version is he has certainly got better as he got older.
He also did some amazing work for and with a lot of charities.

The not so nice version is he is a selfish, rich nasty man who was absolutely horrible to woman and why in God's name did he ever have a child he said it himself he was a bad father and throwing your child!

RJHowe Apparently he has a gay daughter who he is estranged from. Did he mention her in the book? 5y

kaysworld1 @RJHowe it briefly mentioned his affair that ended in a child but that's it. 5y

RJHowe That is kind of sad. Love his films but not the best human being. 5y

SleepyDragon I never forgave him for "The Kung Fu Kid." 5y

kaysworld1 @NeesyBeth š¬ why? Was it a bad film? 5y

SleepyDragon @kaysworld1 He remade The Karate Kid and changed everything Japanese to Chinese, set it in China, and there's a scene in which he beats up a bunch of 12 yr olds. And it was still called The Karate Kid in the US despite the fact that no one did karate in it. 5y

kaysworld1 @NeesyBeth is that the one he did with Jaden Smith? Yet that film was pretty bad. 5y

Last finished read of the year.
Jackie is such an amazing character, he has that playful side but he knows when to be professional.
In this book you learn just how much of a human he is.
