How did Jackie Chan become one of the most recognizable and beloved
actors in the world? Find out in this exciting biography of this martial
artist turned international film superstar.
When Kong-sang was a young boy in Hong Kong, he enjoyed practicing
martial arts with his dad but hated going to school. He was eventually
enrolled in the China Drama Academy, where he improved his martial arts
skills and became a stuntman. That training led to a successful career
as an actor. Kong-sang, now known as Jackie Chan, never gave up on his
passion for screwball physical comedy. Luckily for Jackie, his
determination paid off. His humor and dangerous stuntwork in films like
Cannonball Run, Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon, and Karate Kid have
made him an international star, and it doesn't look like he'll be
leaving the big screen anytime soon.
