About this listen

As one of the biggest stars in the world, Jackie Chan has wowed audiences with death-defying stunts for decades. But who really is this boyishly handsome, lightning-fast Charlie Chaplin of martial arts moviemaking

Jackie Chan has never told his own story in his own words. In I Am Jackie Chan, he tells the fascinating, harrowing, ultimately triumphant story of his life: How the son of refugees in 1950s Hong Kong became the disciplined disciple of a Chinese Opera Master. How, after years of plunging off skyscrapers and living to tell the tale, a once scared seven-year-old boy broke into the Hollywood big time by breaking almost every bone in his body.

Starting his life in extraordinary way and spending his childhood in such a strict and cruel place away from his family. He was taken to live at the Chinese drama school for 10 yrs, it's no wonder he becomes such a commited and talented acrobat/kung foo expert.
Really enjoyed reading/listening to this, even though in parts found it quite sad

Great insight to great actor

I enjoyed this book so much I didn't want it to end.
The different phases of his life was laid out so that we can understand the chronological. The mention of the most influential films helps us follow it.
Jackie Chan also proves that every person has a hero on their lives, which inspires them or in this case forced upon on.

I loved this book. can't wait to read his next biography.

I woke up being Jackie. His life is incredible.
