Jackie Chan is one of the most renowned movie stars in the world, from South to North and East to West; it’s hard to find a place where people aren’t aware of him. He is often labeled the cinema’s most lovable daredevil, thanks to his flips, falls, and fights throughout his five-decade acting career. He was born as Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, in Hong Kong and went on to make his mark in Hollywood. Jackie Chan blended Charlie Chaplin’s humour with Bruce Lee’s martial arts, creating a new genre that became his legacy.

Jackie Chan made his acting debut with the film, New Fist of Fury (1975). However, he first gained recognition for his work in Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow and Drunken Master, which were released in 1978. Some of his most iconic films include Police Story, Drunken Master II (Legend of the Drunken Master), Rush Hour, The Young Master, Wheels on Meals, The Forbidden Kingdom, The Karate Kid, and Rumble in the Bronx. He has appeared in over 200 films and has not just broken box-office records but also broken his bones, which is why he received an Honorary Oscar in 2016 for his extraordinary achievements in cinema.
