Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan was born to parents Charles and Lee-Lee Chan on April 7,1954. His parents were poor at the time of his birth, Chan's father was employed as a. cook in the French Embassy while his mother worked as a housekeeper, but they eventually relocated to Australia, where his father worked as head chef in the American Embassy.
A 7-year-old Chan was sent back to Hong Kong, where he would become a student at the strict China Drama Academy for 10 years. There he endured 19 hours a day of the kind of acrobatic action we see in Jackie Chan movies today, in all his grace; mime, dance and martial arts, all thanks to very strict training.
After his introduction to the film company Golden Harvest, Chan in the 1971 Brace Lee films Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon (he also made Asian film history as the only one to successfully complete an extremely high fall). While a star in Asia, Chan had yet to break through with a hit in the United States. The late '70s and the '80s were marked by huge hits for Chan, such as Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, The Drunken Master, Project A, Wheels on Wheels, Dragons Forever, Miracles, and The Fearless Hyena.
Although he was signed with Golden Harvest, was Asia's highest paid actor, and had more than 60 films to his credit, Chan still had to succeed at what proved to be his toughest feat: becoming a Hollywood star.
He didn't succeed for the first time, but scored during his second attempt to break into Hollywood, with the 1995 film, Rumble in the Bronx, and soon his name became famous. He was even honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards. His 1999 comedy opposite Chris Tucker, Rush Hour, received critical and commercial praise, while 2000's Shanghai Noon, with Lucy Lui and Owen Wilson, was also considered to be a great success for.
