This is Jackie Chan’s fall from grace. throughout his career he was always widely respected as a “nice guy” who was funny and self-effacing and whose films always were blockbusters. He paid the price too, as he performed his own stunts, and his films would mean many broken bones.
But in many ways, its been revealed his personal life was a fraud.
This is life without Christ. He forgave the woman caught in adultery, but told her to go and sin no more. The most ethical secular system in the world and in history, which the Confucian system is, cannot go past the galactic barrier of one’s sins. (Nen Chang’s biography revealed that the Cultural Revolution was driven by a need to atone for the secular sense of sin.) It is Christ who paid the price for all sins, we have only to avail ourselves of his free gift of forgiveness. If we won’t do it, we can never pass a certain point, and will be condemned to the hell of ourselves alone forever.
Just as in the US, when you become famous, people think they know you and that they pretty much own you.
A lot of what that writer was upset about is none of her business. People do have private lives, and are not going to be perfect. They are adults and don’t owe us an account for every move they do or do not make. No, they don’t.
The less secure, lower esteemed stars may get caught up in Social Media, angry at faceless critics. Even beloved celebrities are permitted to keep some things to themselves without explaining and apologizing every other day in the week.
He sees more money in China....hope
they smuggle him into China and we never hear from him again...
South China Morning Post? Who cares or believes this?
This article is almost as funny as Mr. Chan is. You could make a drinking game out of all the virtue-signaling.
I fell out of love with him when he started bad-mouthing the U.S.A.
Hong Kong was nothing before Jackie came along?
For him it was all about selling movie tickets and getting endorsements. You can’t do that in China without approval of the Chinese government. All Chinese celebrities shill for the government as a result.
He only stands out because he started being famous before HK was under CCP control so he said more pro-democracy stuff in the past, so it’s obvious he’s changed tunes. But in reality, all Chinese people know that the celebrities are disingenuous when they talk about how much they support the government, that they say it because they have no choice.
As for his daughter, what a load of crock. She’s an adult and he has no obligations to support her and can spend his money how he wishes.
He says he never learned to read or write.
He’s an actor....what did you expect.
