70-Year-Old Jackie Chan Visits Japan for Film PR, “Action Star’s Body in Shape” Slips past Ardent Fans
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you!
In mid-June, a crowd of people gathered in front of a commercial facility in Yurakucho (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo). At the center of the crowd was a man in black-rimmed glasses who was shouting loudly and expressing his gratitude. He is Jackie Chan, the Asian superstar.
Jackie was in Japan for the first time in 13 years to promote his latest starring film, “Ride On,” which premiered on May 31. It is the culmination of his 50th anniversary and 70th year since his debut. As you know, Jackie has performed all the action scenes in his previous films without any stunts.
The fact that he is playing a stuntman at the age of 70 is astounding. His visit to Japan this time was decided only a few days before, as he wanted to meet his Japanese fans.
Moreover, since this was the only overseas promotion for the film, a large number of enthusiastic fans were waiting for him.
As soon as he appeared at the commercial facility where the movie theater is located for the stage greeting, the fans rushed in with loud cheers. Even the officials surrounding Jackie were almost crushed by the crowd. He wears dark glasses and has a seven-triplet hair parting, and his face is deeply wrinkled. Jackie looked like an “old man,” but he still had the physical sharpness that has made him a world-famous action star.
