Is the video true in which Jackie Chan and his daughter cry when watching tricks from the old actor films?

In the summer of 2023, in social networks, a video was disassembled on which the star of the militants, along with their daughter, allegedly could not restrain tears at the sight of dangerous scenes from cult paintings with the participation of the artist. We checked the authenticity of the video and this touching story.

There are several versions of the viral video that are distinguished by duration and sunbeam. In the short version, the video shows the crying Jackie Chan and a girl holding the actor by the hand of the girl - supposedly this is his daughter. However, they look scene Chan's fall from the film "Project A" (1983). In a longer version, the tricks and wounds of the actor from different paintings of past decades are demonstrated, and there is supposedly such a conversation in Chinese between the vat and the girl (there are English subtitles in the video):
“Was it hurt?”
- Very.
- Dad, you're cool!

In social networks, the video accompanies different descriptions. For example,VKontakte"In public"Back ..."(3300 likes at 141,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) The video was accompanied by the following signature:“ 69-year-old Jackie Chan, along with my daughter, revised the most dangerous scenes from his films. “Was it hurt?” - More! - Dad, you are awesome! The actor could not restrain tears. ” Similar posts appeared in public Vine Video (16,300 likes / 728,000 views), "English under a cup of coffee"(630 /37 000) and"Journal about famous people"(700/19,000), as well as in the Telegram channel"Celebrity news"(2900 /57 000). There are also publications where the actor’s daughter is not mentioned, but only reports that Chan could not restrain her tears at the sight of his old militants. Such posts are found in public "Do not believe!"(15,700 likes / 844,000 views), Marvel/DC (6800 /158 000) and "Typical Izhevsk"(1400 /77 000) in VKontakte. The video disassembled not only in the Russian -language segment of the Internet - according to the calculations of the journalists of the agency AFP, in total, by mid -August 2023, a viral video gained several tens of millions of views in different countries of the world.

Using the screenshot of the viral video and search According to the pictures, “verified” in the issuance of Google discovered the mention of the feature film "Kung Fu stallion". According to Description The ribbons on IMDB, Jackie Chan played the role of an experienced stuntman living with his horse. On the key phrase “Kung Fu, the stallion of Jackie Chan is crying” “Verified” found on YouTube video Under the name "daughter recognized the truth and forgave her father," published on June 10, 2023 and is a fragment of the film. The visual series of this scene completely coincides with the frames of the viral video, but installation and musical accompaniment are different. In addition, we watched the film completely and became convinced that there really is such a scene in it-it begins in the 79th minute.

Although in some Russian -speaking trailers the picture Approvedthat Jackie Chan played himself, in fact his hero The name is Master Lu. The daughter of the main character Played Chinese actress Liu Haotsyun, about which also It is said In one of the official commercials.

In addition, many publications states that the video of Chan is captured at 69 years old. Actor was born April 7, 1954, therefore, in the summer of 2023, when the viral video began to disperse, his age corresponded to the declared. However, "Kung Fu stallion" Started shoot in September 2021, and Finished In November of the same year. That is, during the filming process, the actor was 67 and a half years old. By the way, the premiere of the film took place April 7, 2023 - on Chan's birthday.

As for the dialogue of the screen father and daughter, he has different versions of the translation. As mentioned above, the heroine Liu Khaotsyun asked the character of Chan if he was painful during the performance of tricks. "Checked" tracked the following versions of the answer:

• "Very" (a lot, English subtitles from the viral video);
• "I don't know" (Dunno, English subtitles from the site Bilibili.tv);
• “A lot” (in response to the phrase “there was so much pain”, Russian Dubbing from Mosfilm Master);
• "Many" (similarly to the previous case, Kazakh Voice from the studio Cinema Tone Pro); 
• “I don’t remember” (Russian Voice From the studio "Cube in Cuba").

According to several native speakers of the Chinese language, the interviewed “verified”, in reality, the hero of Chan says that he has already forgotten about everything.

Believe biographies Chana on his official website, he does not have a daughter, there is only a son - a musician and a film actor Jacey Chan. However, for example, in the profile of the actor on IMDB specified Another child is a daughter named Etta NG. Chan in his memoirs He wrotethat Joan Lin with actress Elein NG, who received the title of “Miss Asia” in 1990, changed his wife, but did not recognize the illegitimate daughter. At the same time It is knownthat Elein Eun gave birth to a daughter in 1999. After 19 years Etta Yun Published On YouTube, in which I introduced myself Jackie Chan’s daughter spoke about her homosexuality and said that because of the “Homophobes parents” she had to sleep on the street. At the end of the same year, in an interview with the Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily, girl She saidthat I have never met my famous father and does not want anything from him.

Thus, Jackie Chan, crying while watching his real tricks, is really shown in the spreading video, but in fact this is only a scene from a feature film where the actor plays a fictional character. Not a real daughter, but an actress, is captured next to the vat. Of course, one cannot exclude the fact that the artist could really move on the set and his tears were not an acting technique. However, the lack of mention in the publications that this is a scene from the film can mislead readers.
