Sadly Jackie has betrayed the people of Hong Kong. In 2009 he stated "I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not.". He also said he was "beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled."

Hate to break it to you but Jackie Chan is not a good person. Ask his daughter.

ditched his daughter and let her live in Poverty too.

Came here to say this. It’s a shame I really looked up to Jackie as most kids in the 90s. Along with Dave Chappelle and Dwayne Johnson it sucks to see your childhood heroes become the villains.

Actors are professional liars. More often than not the only things you know about then have been filtered by a publicist

dwayne is basically the ellen degeneres when it comes to behind the scenes with movies, no acting ability whatsoever but is loves the movie star status, i think tried to take over a movie franchise i believe. and there has been indication he may lean RIGHT, like most other WWE wrestlers.

I would assume they meant Hulk Hogan?
