Jackie Chan apologizes for disrupting Hong Kong concert
Posted 7/17/2006 12:47 PM ET
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t play with my friendship with Jonathan Lee in public,” he said. “I apologize to Jonathan Lee and I apologize to the audience that night.”
HONG KONG (AP) — Jackie Chan has apologized for disrupting a recent concert by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee.
Chan climbed on the stage and then exchanged insults with the audience during Lee’s July 10 concert. The Ming Pao Daily News quoted Chan, star of the Rush Hour movies, as saying onstage that he was drunk.
The 52-year-old action star was filmed by an audience member, apparently by a cellphone. The footage was posted on the video-sharing Youtube.com website.
The video showed a surprised Lee asking Chan, “How come you came up?”
When audience members began yelling for Chan to get off the stage, Chan responded with a Cantonese insult. As he prepared to sing, Chan motioned Lee’s band to start playing, then abruptly stopped the music. The crowd eventually applauded after Lee and Chan began singing a duet.
Chan had been an invited performing guest at Lee’s July 9 concert.
Meeting with reporters after a promotional event Sunday for his new film, Rob-B-Hood, Chan was initially reluctant to address the incident, but later apologized.
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t play with my friendship with Jonathan Lee in public,” he said. “I apologize to Jonathan Lee and I apologize to the audience that night.”
Asked about the video footage of his disruption, Chan said: “I don’t care. I’m not a saint. I’m an ordinary person.”
Separately, Chan said he is set to film Rush Hour 3 this summer. He said filming will take place in France, New York and Los Angeles.

First drunk in public, now PORN!
Jackie Chan admits acting in porn movie
Kung Fu film star Jackie Chan Monday admitted that he acted in a porn movie 31 years ago, responding to a report revealed by Hong Kong media, Information Times reported Tuesday.
“I had to do anything I could to make a living 31 years ago, but I don’t think it’s a big deal, even Marlon Brando used to be exposed in his movies,” Chan said. “The porn movie at that time was more conservative than the current films,” he said.
Hong Kong netizens tipped local media that Chan was in the porn movie “All in the Family” in 1975, with a porn movie star who was famous at that time.
The Hong Kong made movie, directed by Zhu Mu, was defined as a comedy. Dean Shek, Tien Chun, and Sammo Hung were also co-stars.
Of course, Sammo in porn is much worse. Think about it.

AsiaOne
Jackie’s daughter: “Where’s my father?”
Elaine Ng Yi Lei, who had an affair with movie star Jackie Chan 11 years ago, told Hong Kong’s Ming Pao Weekly that their daughter has been asking where her father is.
The ex-Miss Asia 1990 sent shockwaves through the Chinese showbusiness industry when she revealed that she was pregnant with the star’s daughter.
She described her daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam, as being an energetic and mischievous girl who was not shy around adults.
Friends of Etta have told her that her father was Jackie Chan, although the girl herself does not know the truth yet.
Ng says she will tell her daughter what really happened when she feels that the girl is ready.
She said she has never regretted the past incident, describing herself as young and eager to win at that time, although she wouldn’t want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.
She has also taught her daughter to be content with what she has, and to stop comparing herself with others.
Just a front?
Other media reports have speculated that her sudden revelations is due to insufficient maintenance fees from Jackie Chan, as well as trying to publicise her upcoming four-day solo art exhibition in Shanghai.
However, Ng made sure in her interviews with the media to quell rumous that she is out to fish for more child support from Jackie Chan.
Ng also revealed that she previously had advertisers approaching her and her daughter to take part in advertisements for up to S$800,000. She had declined, saying that she wanted her daughter to have a normal childhood and not lose her innocence.
The mother-daughter pair made their magazine cover debut over the weekend, their first media appearance in over a decade.
Jackie Chan reportedly gives S$70,000 to the mother-daughter pair monthly. He also gave them S$600,000 when they moved to Shanghai.
“Happiest and luckiest man on Earth”
The Straits Times had previously reported that Jackie Chan was happy his friends and fans were standing by him when the scandal broke.
He claimed to be the happiest and luckiest man on Earth after a show of support from people all over the world, when the media chastised him for refusing to confirm if Elaine Ng’s baby was his.
Chan also said that although he was a playboy, he wasn’t a cad.
Timeline
February, 1999: Jackie attends a movie premiere with Elaine Ng. Both are seen holding on to each other and smiling.
April 7, 1999: Elaine Ng organises a birthday party for Jackie Chan.
May, 1999: Elaine Ng announces the baby’s conception date.
June, 1999: Elaine Ng flies to Canada to meet Jackie Chan. He films in the day, they meet at night in the hotel.
October, 1999: Elaine tells the media that she is pregnant with Jackie Chan’s baby and shocks the showbiz industry.
November, 1999: Jackie admits at a press conference, “I have done something wrong. I have done something which all men in the world will have done wrong, all because I’m playful. If the baby is mine, I will bear full responsibility.”
Jackie Chan is currently married to actress Lin Feng-chiao. He has never admitted that Etta is his daughter, although he has acknowledged his affair with Elaine Ng.
I respect Jackie more than most, but I also like our forum to be newsworthy, and this is making the rounds on the newsfeeds today.

Jackie Chan caught locking lips with actress Xu Jinglei in car
Updated: 2011-02-23
Jackie Chan and Chinese actress Xu Jinglei were seen locking lips in the car.
One late night before the Chinese New Year holidays, the international action star walked out of a five-star hotel in Beijing with Jinglei, who apparently had some drinks and couldn’t stop laughing at Jackie’s words.
After she got on her car which had been waiting in front of the hotel, Jackie held her face with both hands and gave her a big, long kiss on the lips.
Then he waved goodbye when she was driven off.
Netizens mocked that Jackie again “made the mistake that all men in the world make,” an excuse he used in 1999 when former Miss Asia Elaine Ng announced that she was pregnant with his child.
In response to the news, Jinglei’s assistant said the report was exaggerating and the actress was among more than 20 people who attended a gathering at Jackie’s new restaurant.
It was just a kiss goodbye between friends,” her assistant said.
This is lame. They even have video and it looks just a friendly kiss. Doesn’t even look like there was any tongue.
Death hoax
I totally missed this yesterday, which is just as well…:rolleyes:
Chan a target of death hoax
By QMI Agency
Last Updated: March 29, 2011 9:12am
Jackie Chan’s people took to Twitter and Facebook Tuesday to deny reports the actor had died.
“Jackie is alive and well. He did not suffer a heart attack and die,” the EyeofJackieChan tweeted Tuesday morning.
Chan’s death was reported on social networking websites like Twitter, as well as a few online reports.
The reports quoted a source from a Los Angeles hospital who said he died while promoting Kung Fu Panda 2. The reports said his heavy schedule “was causing extreme stress and putting too much pressure on his heart.” It also said U.S. President Barack Obama had issued a statement with his condolences and MTV was planning a special memorial for Chan on Friday.
“Jackie is fine and busy preparing for filming his next movie,” his Facebook page said.
Chan is just the latest celebrity to be killed off in an online hoax. Other celebrities who have been rumoured to be dead when they’re still very much alive include Justin Bieber, Gordon Lightfoot, and Jeff Goldblum.
[QUOTE=doug maverick;1067678]what does that matter…he cheated…didnt matter with who or what. he cheated always a bad thing.[/QUOTE]
Personally, I hold MLK up to a much higher standard… what with him being appealed to as a moral authority and all.
The irony of holding movie, sports, tv, and music celebrities up to some kind of high moral standard is that we idolize the lifestyle we assume celebrity comes with. Wealth, babes, parties, booze, drugs etc. When they live up to that hype, then we bash them. It’s the hypocrisy that’s the real problem there.

Showbiz boss Albert Yeung dishes the dirt on celebrity scandals
The founder of Hong Kong’s Emperor Entertainment Group spoke on Carina Lau’s nude photo scandal, Jackie Chan’s affair with Elaine Ng and Nicholas Tse’s divorce
Albert Yeung, the founder and chairman of Hong Kong-based entertainment company Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG), recently revealed shocking showbiz insights – including actress Carina Lau’s nude photo scandal, Jackie Chan’s extramarital affair with Elaine Ng and Nicholas Tse’s divorce with Cecilia Cheung - in a magazine interview.
Ten years ago, Albert owned the now-defunct tabloid Eastweek Magazine, which had published nude photos of actress Carina Lau, supposedly taken during the time she was kidnapped and tortured.
The businessman was later forced to make a public apology and close the magazine.
“I didn’t know the photos were published. I felt wronged; as a boss, how was I to know what [photos] was going to be used on the magazine’s cover?” Albert said.
He expressed that the magazine’s editor had obtained the go-ahead from their legal consultants before deciding to publish the photos. In Albert’s opinion, the incident was “merely morally wrong”, and added that he is still friends with Carina. Albert claimed that Carina did not blame him for the incident.
Albert, who is also friends with kungfu superstar Jackie Chan, let on that the actor had confided in him when former lover Elaine Ng wanted to expose the truth regarding her daughter Etta Ng.
“I offered to be the mediator, that I was going to give Elaine a sum of money, in exchange for her silence,” he said.
While Jackie did not object to Albert’s suggestion initially, he later decided to let Elaine tell all. The superstar chose not to comment on her expose as he did not want to be threatened by the former actress in the long run.
Albert then commented on rumours that he had provided for Elaine’s living expenses until recently.
“No, I never did. Jackie never wanted to do that, so I’ll never act on my own.”
The businessman also gave some insights into Nicholas Tse’s divorce with ex-wife Cecilia Cheung.
Albert, who had known actor Patrick Tse and ex-wife Deborah Li for more than a decade, had seen Nicholas grow up and treated him like his own son.
“Nicholas used to be so full of himself; he didn’t care much about the feelings of others. I had to give in to him, even though I’m the boss. I loved and pampered him,” Albert said, adding that the actor is a lot more matured now, and is not as willful as he used to be.
On Nicholas’ divorce with ex-wife Cecilia Cheung last year, Albert pointed out that Nicholas did not badmouth Cecilia, and allowed her and the public to think as they wished, adding that “he didn’t even say anything about her and Edison”.
oh Jackie…
He’s just ****ed that CZ12 won’t get a theatrical release in America until all of his American fans have already seen it by other means.
‘The most corrupt country is America,’ Jackie Chan’s comments widely panned in China
December 13, 2012
In a talk show aired on Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV Monday, Jackie Chan, the world-famous actor and show-biz star, said that China is not the country with the most serious corruption problem; the United States is. He also called on Chinese people to refrain from criticizing the China, especially in front of “outsiders”. The remarks immediately set off waves of criticism in China’s micro-blogosphere. Many Chinese net users joked “He should shut up and focus on acting,” but others believe he had a point.
The talk show, broadcast daily on weekdays, is a flagship program of Phoenix TV. Its features a host joined by two prominent media personalities or celebrities in discussions of a wide range of social, cultural and political issues. On Monday’s program, Jackie Chan and Ma Weidu, a nationally known connoisseur in antiques who also hosts his own talk show, are guests.
The program lasts roughly 22 minutes, in which Jackie Chan promotes his latest film and recounts his personal anecdotes in film making, leaving Ma in evident eclipse. Near the end of the show, however, when the host touched upon Jackie Chan’s nationalistic image against the backdrop of growing discontent with the country on Chinese Internet, the super star said,
Jackie Chan: The New China…The real success has been made in the past dozen of years. Our country’s president also admits they have the corruption problem, and some other stuff, but we are making progress. What I can see is our country is continuously making progress and learning. If you talk about corruption, the entire world, the America, has no corruption?
Host: America.
Jackie: The most corrupt in the world.
Host: Really?
Jackie: Of course. Where does this Great Breakdown (depression) come from? It started exactly from the world, the United States. When I was interviewed in the U.S., people asked me, I said the same thing. I said now that China has become strong, everyone is making an issue of China. If our own countrymen don’t support our country, who will support our country? We know our country has many problems. We (can) talk about it when the door is closed. To outsiders, (we should say,) “our country is the best.”
Host: So he can’t get enough of his more than 20 ambassador titles. I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should ask him to be the ambassador to the United States.
Jackie: Seriously, I am always like, when the door is closed, “Our country is like this and this. Who and who is not good.” But outside, “Our country is the best, like so and so, is the best.” You cannot say our country has problems (when you are outside), like “Yes, our country is bad.”

Most Chinese net users lashed out at Jackie Chan. Many made fun of his lack of basic common sense or logic. sighed, “What a poorly educated kid!” wondered, “Which grade at school did Jackie Chan graduate from?” exclaimed, “Please, if you want to tell a good lie, tell an educated one. Go learn some knowledge before you contribute to CCP’s corruption.” ca was baffled, “‘The most corrupt country in the world is America.’ Where does this come from? ‘Supporting country’ means you cannot be opposed to corruption? Being opposed to corruption means non-support? Means ‘making an issue’? So, being opposed to corruption is wrong?”
Others pointed out Jackie Chan has a vested interest in glossing over the problems and defects of the Communist rule. says, “His whitewash is for reaping bigger profits in the mainland!” commented, “His desire for becoming an official must have driven him crazy.” was more blunt, “If I could get so many god**** benefits every year, I would sing commies’ praises as well.”
While Jackie Chan’s remarks have definitely alienated many netizens, he aligned himself with others. agreed with the no-criticism-in-front-of-outsiders part, “Never let the skeleton out of your closet,” Jackie Chan is definitely right. Phoenix chimed in, “I agree. There is no perfect man. And surely no perfect country…What is the god**** point of bellyaching every day? I hate that kind of person the most!” asked further, “Well said. Our country, while having many problems, is making constant progress. Do you f**king know what it is like abroad? Don’t ever assume it is paradise.”
It is not the first foot-in-mouth comments Jackie Chan made on politics. Some of his previous gaffes came close to denting his career. In 2004, he said Taiwanese presidential election is “an international joke; 20 or 100 years later, it will still be a huge joke. I feel it is so pathetic.” He was assailed by Taiwanese on online message boards and forums. There were even calls in Taiwan for a boycott on his films.
In 2009 at Boao Forum for Asia, he managed to rile up Hong Kong, Taiwan, as well as mainland China. Asked about mainland censorship on filmmaking, Chan said, “With too much freedom, it can get very chaotic, like today’s Hong Kong, or like Today’s Taiwan, also very chaotic. I am starting to think, we Chinese people, need to be reined, otherwise they will do whatever they want…Many people, unlike those in the United States and Japan, have no self-respect. When you have no self-respect, the government steps in and rein you in.”
Also, on the same occasion, he said out of blue, “If I need to buy a TV set, I will definitely by a Japanese product. Why? Because the Chinese one will explode! Many Chinese brands, too many, do not give people confidence. Too many small manufacturers adversely affected bigger manufacturers. Some sneaky, wily people, well, add to some stuff to milk powder and like…These are all a type of…a type of…Ah, I cannot express it. Anyway, it makes me very angry.”

Why Did Jackie Chan Body Slam America?
By Jeff Yang
Associated Press
Hong Kong movie star Jackie Chan poses for photographers during the charity premiere of his new movie “CZ12 in Hong Kong Thursday Dec. 13, 2012.
Jackie Chan is famous for his glorious on-camera recklessness — leaping out of windows, crashing through walls and tumbling from rooftops for the sake of his millions of global fans. Recently, however, he’s made a habit of performing a somewhat less crowd-pleasing stunt: Shooting off his mouth.
The latest incident occurred last week, during an otherwise mundane interview on Qiang Qiang, a popular talk show on Hong Kong-based cable net Phoenix TV. After 15 minutes spent discussing Chan’s latest film, CZ12 (“Chinese Zodiac”), the conversation turned to the action hero’s reputation for fervent nationalism, which has prompted criticism from some on the Internet.
“Chinese are dissatisfied with many things, but you always say ‘China is so good.’ Now many people on the net are displeased with you,” said the talk show’s host, Dou Wentao. In response, Chan pointed out that while China has many problems, particularly with corruption, its ascent into global prominence has occurred only over the last dozen years. “If you talk about corruption, does the entire rest of the world — does America have no corruption?…America has the most corruption in the world!”
After the statement was translated into English by China-watching blog Ministry of Tofu, the Washington Post’s Max Fisher penned a commentary on Chan’s “anti-Americanism,” wondering how the star could “square his criticism of the United States with his long embrace of the American film market.”
The article had the effect that anyone could have expected, generating over a thousand comments and a firestorm of social-media reaction, much of it decrying Chan’s “ingratitude” and vowing to boycott his future creative output, in an uncanny echo of the last time a scandal erupted around an Asian pop icon’s bashing of America.
There are notable differences between PSY’s gaffe and Chan’s, however. PSY dropped his buzzbomb over a decade ago as a relative unknown, driven by youthful passion and the prevailing attitudes in his native country. Chan hardly has that excuse. He’s experienced enough to know that words have power, and he’s famous enough for his voice to carry as far as the Internet can reach, in every language in the world.
So what could possibly explain Chan’s willingness to alienate fans and risk his hard-won reputation with comments that, at the least, could be termed indiscreet? (It seems excessive to call his statement “anti-Americanism,” when Americans, including action stars like Chuck Norris, regularly spout far harsher charges against America’s culture, society and government — but it was certainly poorly considered.)
I don’t know for sure. But I can make a stab at guessing.
Back in 1997, I wrote a book called I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action — Chan’s autobiography, and the first, and to this day only from-the-icon’s-mouth accounting of his humble beginnings and rise to international stardom. I spent the better part of that year traveling with him on and off, and listening to the anecdotes of his many-colored life, from his birth to refugee parents in Hong Kong, to his ****ensian years as a foster student at Master Yu Jim Yuen’s China Drama Academy, through his wild and woolly stuntman days, and finally his rocky (and then rocketlike) rise to global superstardom.
If there was a common theme across all of these many chapters, it’s this: Chan’s life has been an ongoing, obsessive quest for self-definition. It’s why by the time he was an adult, he’d answered to a half-dozen different names, from Chan Kong Sang (“Born in Hong Kong Chan”) to Yuen Lo (“Yuen’s Tower”) to Chan Sing Lung (“Becoming the Dragon Chan”) to Fong Sing Lung (after his father let slip the secret that their true family name, obscured during wartime, was Fong); from “Paul” to “Jacky” to Jackie.
It’s why he has always surrounded himself with a tight, nearly impenetrable circle of insiders, and why loyalty — to him and from him — is the primary trait of all his closest relationships. And it’s the reason why he was Hong Kong’s most ebullient cultural ambassador before 1997 — and why now, after Reunification, he’s transformed into The New China’s most fervent public advocate.
Chan’s eagerness to belong was shaped by a history of repeated abandonments, separations and betrayals, both small and large. His parents, unable to care for him, signed him over at a tender age to a master who had the right to punish him “even to death.” Then, after putting Chan through a decade of harsh training for stardom on the Chinese opera stage, his teacher announced that there was no longer a market for such skills, shut down the school and retired to Los Angeles, leaving his students to fend for themselves with minimal book learning and no adult supervision.
His early film years were marked by repeated humiliation and disappointment. Living in the shadow of the late, great Bruce Lee, Chan found himself forced to emulate Lee’s stoic screen image, with unconvincing and financially disastrous results. (Even the nom d’ecran Chan chose for himself, “Becoming the Dragon,” reflects Chan’s youthful aspirations to rise to Lee’s heights.)
Breaking free from the clutches of Lo Wei, the “millionaire director” who would later claim both Lee and Chan as proteges, Chan created the persona that would endear him to millions: Both Everyman and Ubermensch, an ordinary joe with extraordinary abilities hidden beneath his plain surface. But while it served him well in Asia, where he became the biggest and most bankable star of his generation, it did nothing to break him through to the world’s largest movie market, the U.S. The forays Chan made into Hollywood — the dull “Big Brawl,” the clownish “Cannonball Run” films, the misguided “Protector” — again forced him into roles and contexts that were ill-suited for his abilities and personality.
And Chan’s youthful interactions with American studio execs and members of the U.S. media during that run, which ranged from dismissive to condescending to straight-up racist, gave him a bad taste that he has never quite been able to wash away.
In 1998, “Rush Hour” gave Chan the American success he’d long been seeking. But his experience on the film also confirmed many of his suspicions about Hollywood: He has privately expressed resentment over the fact that his costar Chris Tucker’s paycheck for the Rush Hour sequels — $20 million and $25 million plus a portion of the gross for RH 2 and 3 respectively — far outstripped what he was paid, even though Tucker has had almost no box-office success outside the RH trilogy, and even though Tucker risked little more than a case of drymouth, while Chan put his fortysomething body on the line in every other scene. (He still refers to the “Rush Hour” films as his “least favorite movies.”)
So Chan has a bit of bitterness about America, how it treats foreigners, its sense of value and its sense of values. Combine that with his lifelong desire to be an acknowledged and appreciated member of his “home team” — channeled into a self-appointed role as chief evangelist for The New China, a place that is lifting itself up by its bootstraps, that’s fixing its problems and that’s poised to shape the future of the world — and you get a formula for unpredictable blurts of an impolitic nature.
In 2004, Chan called the election that gave independence advocate Chen Shui-Bian the presidency of Taiwan “pathetic” and an “international joke.” In 2009, he called for greater restriction of freedoms on China, pointing to Taiwan and Hong Kong as examples of the “chaos” that occurs when the people are not “controlled.” He has expressed support for China’s censorship policies, unleashing angry responses from Chinese Internet users.
And yet, despite, or maybe because of his verbal eruptions, Chan’s star in China continues to rise. CZ12, by most accounts a mediocre addition to Chan’s canon, had a record opening weekend and continued to soar, ultimately becoming China’s second-highest-grossing domestic film ever, with over $130 million in total box office.
If there’s one thing that Jackie Chan has learned how to do in four decades of action, it’s falling on his feet.
Jackie not dead…AGAIN!
BY Danica Bellini, Mstars Reporter , Mstarz reporter | Jun 24, 2013 02:06 PM EDT
Popular martial arts actor Jackie Chan is just the latest celebrity to fall victim to the infamous online death hoax (again). But no worries, “Rush Hour” fans, Chan is still indeed alive and well. The 59-year-old Hong Kong superstar even hit up Facebook and Twitter to debunk the morbid death rumors! Chan posted a photo posing with an issue of Friday’s newspaper (June 21), proving that he hasn’t bitten the dust just yet. At least he has a good sense of humor about it!
The internet tried killing-off Chan back in 2011… and for some reason, such morbid death rumors started resurfacing on Twitter and Facebook again earlier this month. Here’s the bogus Global Associated News report that started the whole thing:
“Actor Jackie Chan died while filming a movie in Kitzbühel, Austria early this morning - June 23, 2013 (obviously the fake obit generates up-to-date deaths). Preliminary reports from Austrian Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 50 feet to his death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm mountains while on-set during the filming of a movie. Specific details are not yet available. The accident occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. (UTC/GMT +12).”
Several fans fell for the story posted on the PRANK news website. But Chan IS NOT dead - and he has visual evidence to prove it!
Chan posted this message on Facebook and Twitter on Friday, June 21:
Jackie Chan:
"Hi everybody! Yesterday, I got on a 3am flight from India to Beijing. I didn’t get a chance to sleep and even had to clean my house when I got home. Today, everybody called to congratulate me on my rumored engagement. Afterward, everybody called me to see if I was alive.
If I died, I would probably tell the world! I took a photo with today’s date, just in case you don’t believe me! However, thank you all for your concern. Kiss kiss and love you all!
P.S. My dog is healthy, just like me! He doesn’t need surgery! By the way, my dogs are golden retrievers, not Labradors."

The post received over 231,000 “likes” and counting.
So there you have it, Chan is indeed alive and still as busy as ever!
Jackie is scared?
I’m surprised Ai even cares what Jackie thinks.
Ai Weiwei disappointed in ‘scared’ Jackie Chan
Dissident artist’s exhibit According to What? now on display in Toronto
CBC News Posted: Sep 4, 2013 5:15 PM ET Last Updated: Sep 4, 2013 5:13 PM ET
Ai Weiwei connects with Q host Jian Ghomeshi via video feed from his home in Beijing. (CBC)
In a Canadian broadcast exclusive with the CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi, Ai Weiwei says the martial arts star Jackie Chan was “playing” when he claimed to not know his name.
Ai has been called the most powerful figure in the art world, and a major retrospective of his work is now on view at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
But in an interview with Ghomeshi in June, Jackie Chan repeatedly said that he was unfamiliar with the artist and his work, including the famous Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing.
Not possible, said the artist in an interview that aired on CBC Radio’s Q Wednesday.
“He knows me very well,” said Ai. “He’s very much a pro-government actor. And he’s acted so extremely on the side of authority, which [has] already become laughable in the public’s view.”
Ai added that it bothered him that people like Chan who are “very influential” do not admit the truth and seem “scared of authority”.
“He is quite well known, and he doesn’t have to be like that.”
Thanks AGO for its courage
Ai Weiwei has expressed his gratitude to AGO organizers and Canadian audiences for supporting his retrospective in Toronto, saying it takes courage to showcase a dissident’s work – which itself supports “basic values such as human rights and freedom of speech” – at a time when western governments are trying to build smoother, stronger relations with China.
“I am very happy to know that my work now received great enthusiasm from the Canadian audience, and I have to say thanks to them,” said Ai.
To speak one’s mind is what free men do! When people try to muzzle free speech =, that is the true problem regarding fear and loyalty. That is why I love Jackie Chan
