Relations with the father
Наверное, сложно быть сыном известного актера, the favorite of millions. His father sent Jaycee to study in Virginia, but the guy said he did not want to vegetate in this village, since there's nothing to look at in these places except on sheep.
Jaycee is obstinate.Not surprisingly, the provincial life did not suit the young man. As reported by the American media, the guy loves luxury, chic cars and nightclubs. He is fond of playing guitar and singing, doing acting skills in order to achieve success in show business.
Parents are very worried about the fate of his son,and to somehow get rid of their influence, Jaycee concluded with the father of the bet: "He will return to college if the first film with his participation is a failure." In 2004, the debut of Jackie Chan's son took place. He played a role in the film "The Chronicles of Huadu: The Blade of the Rose." This Chinese thriller was a failure, but Jaycey did not keep his father's word.
Jackie Chan was ashamed of his offspring.Visiting Harvard University, he delivered a speech, and also donated a tidy sum to the university, but this had no effect on Jaycee. He chooses his own way, preferring to conquer show business.
When Jaycee Chan turned 29, in the processfilming the movie "The Fall of the Last Empire," he briefly reconciled with his father. But the behavior of the young man was the reason for one loud statement. In 2011, Jackie Chan told the public that all the millions of property he had accumulated would go to charity after his death. And let the son earn money for his own money.
Under the threat of the death penalty
In August 2014, the news boomed that his sonJackie Chan faces the death penalty. Jaycee and his friend Ke Chendong (Taiwanese actor) were arrested in Beijing (China). They were accused of storing and using marijuana. According to Chinese law, the strictest punishment is provided for the distribution of narcotic substances: a long prison term or the death penalty.
But the court was supportive of Jackie Chan's son,so he got off with a six-month sentence. He was charged with providing other people who used narcotic substances. The punishment for such an offense is not more than three years.
It is not excluded that the decision of the court was influenced byfame of father Jayce and his connection in politics. As Jackie Chan himself said about the arrest of his son, he was shocked by the news and went into a rage because of his deed.
Surprisingly, five years before this incident, inIn 2009, the world famous actor was recognized as Goodwill Ambassador in the fight against drug addiction. He also said that he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, and he was also awarded such a high rank. Until an unpleasant incident with his son, Jackie Chan spoke in support of the death penalty for drugs.
Professional activities of Jaycee
After moving to China, a young man proceedsto acting and musical activity. In 2004, when the boy turned 22, he made his debut in the cinema. But the film does not have the desired success. A year later he gets his first major role in the film "Young". During this period, Jaycey released several music albums that were not very successful.
After giving up American citizenship, the guyreceives the respect of the Chinese public. He is engaged in scoring cartoons "Mulan", "Panda Kung Fu", participates in the filming of numerous films. Here are some of his works:
