Never Grow Up by Jackie Chan
3.0
"I've said in interviews that I've done well by a lot of people, but not my own family. That I haven't been a good father or a good husband, but I did my duty to my son and his mother"
Will I continue to rewatch his movies? YES.
Will my perspective of my favorite Asian action star change? DEFINITELY YES.
Will I recommend this memoir to everyone especially Jackie Chan's fans? NOPE.
Throughout this memoir, I would say Jackie Chan was brutally honest about his life, his failure to fulfill the time with his parents, wife, and son. He had been going through poverty since he was a kid, so he kept trying to become a big star and treat other people nicely.
At the early of his involvement in the industry, people keep comparing him to Bruce Lee. He was trying hard to go down an entirely different path. I love how he put in detail how he was scared to shoot an iconic clock-tower jump scene in Project A for 6 days. On day 7 (1983), he finally managed to film the difficult scene.
I would love to read more about his family, especially his wife and his son. I become a fan of his son (Jaycee Chan) since The Twins Effect 2. I do some searching about his wife and Jaycee after I finished this book, why do I feel Jackie hates his son?
