Jackie Chan Reveals He Slept With Many Prostitutes, Abused His Toddler Son in New Book
Jackie Chan has opened up about his dark past in “Never Grow Up,” an explosive new memoir slated for release on Tuesday. The book, available in print and digital formats, arrives days after Chan’s estranged daughter, Etta Ng, tied the knot with girlfriend Andi Autumn in Canada. In “Never Grow Up,” Chan revealed details of his “wicked” early life, such as splurging on alcohol and gambling, sleeping with dozens of prostitues and lashing out on his toddler son during a fight with his wife. He also expressed regret for not learning how to read, write and do the math as a student because he was so busy pulling pranks. Images via Instagram / @jackiechan At 15, Chan met his first love — a woman he calls Chang — but admitted to being a “terrible boyfriend” despite the fact that she stuck with him against her parents’ wishes. Chan said that he often left Hong Kong because he did not want to be with her, and when they hung out together, he picked fights just for fun. Images via Instagram / @jackiechan When Chan found himself making money, he splurged on alcohol, gambling, prostitutes and other material things. He also thought of his wealth as a way to get back on those who previously looked down on him. “I started to carry large amounts of cash at all times. After you live in poverty cash gives you a sense of security. I like having lots of people around me and every meal was with a big gang,” the Daily Mail quoted him as saying. “Around 10 years ago I spent $2 million in one year paying for other people’s meals. I gave out extravagant gifts too; watches, cars, custom-made leather jackets, cases of expensive wine.” Images via Instagram / @jackiechan Chan also revisited his cheating scandal that erupted in 1999. While married to Joan Lin, the kung fu star had an affair with Elaine Wu, winner of Miss Asia 1990, who would then be Etta’s mother. He recalled believing his sexist friends’ speculation that Lin, mother of his son Jaycee, got pregnant on purpose because she was only after his money. As a result, he “constantly thought of ways to keep (his) money from her.” At some point after the scandal, Chan and Lin got into a fight, and the former took it out on their son. According to Chan, he picked up Jaycee with one hand and threw him across the room, sending him into the sofa. The incident “terrified” Lin, while Chan found himself apologizing for it later. Chan and his family Interestingly, “Never Grow Up” does not mention Etta, who has since claimed disownment. In April, Etta, following an alleged suicide attempt, sought help from the public because she was homeless “due to homophobic parents.” Chan, now 64, blames his own immaturity and insecurities for his bad behavior. In his book, he writes about facing the mirror, saying “you’re a real bastard,” before starting to change his ways. “Never Grow Up” is now available to preorder on Amazon. -nextshark Those who know, know! ![]() |

RE: jackie chan engages in preemptive damage control in new book
i can't help but think he is doing this to preserve his legacy. better for him to say and admit first, before other accuse... esp. in the METOO era.. where accusations only can ruin careers
i can just see him getting freaked out at all the huge hollywood stars getting their entire life work and legacy destroyed. Jackie chan was like that ain't happening to me.. I'm gonna engage in PREEMPTIVE DAMAGE CONTROL |

RE: jackie chan engages in preemptive damage control with new book
he's just playing PC
he's probably seeing all the top stars getting taken down for past offenses, so he is trying to tell his side first or atone first to avoid a full scale takedown entire legacies have been destroyed by METOO accusations.. |

RE: jackie chan engages in preemptive damage control with new book
the GF was just recently telling me some story about how Jackie Chan maintained a Japanese mistress. I think this woman was also a celebrity and her friends were gossiping with her about why she was with him because he was married and the woman didn't care because Jackie Chan had a nice shape.......
later I will ask my GF about it or you can probably Google about it |

RE: jackie chan engages in preemptive damage control with new book
I think that story was well known in Japan too and not some secret scandal. The culture is different and such things are more acceptable. So the West would cultivate a different impression for an Eastern Playboy like Jackie Chan to make him more marketable to local cultural affinities especially necessary to the Western portrait of the Masters of the Oriental Fighting Arts which heroes must present a near saintly and pacifistic standard of conduct which is not always a historically or present depiction of truth.

Eastern people are very practical about honest recogition that money matters in a society where there are houses to buy and bills to pay...... |

RE: jackie chan engages in preemptive damage control with new book
it's de rigeur for rich asian celebs and businessmen to have mistresses.
as long as the "head wife" gets most of the funds, some of them are ok with it the practice is definitely declining as of late... as it's far more expensive now to keep them plus it's frowned upon more and more |

Almost impossible. yes, I can imagine how a increase in fame and fortune could correlate to a decrease in wholesome piety. It would be near impossible for a traditional gentleman of regular habit to resist the temptation of all those jezebels offering their goods ![]() |
