The biography of Jackie Chan starts with his birth on April 7, 1954 in Hong Kong to Charles and Lee-lee Chan.
jackie Chan was born Chan Kong-sang, which literally means “Born in Hong Kong” Chan. His mother nicknamed him Pao Pao (Chinese= cannonball) due to the way he would roll around as an infant.
Chan’s parents worked for the French ambassador to Hong Kong and were poor. They gave him a chance at a better life by enrolling him in the Chinese Opera Research Institute at the age of seven, where he spent a decade training for the Peking Opera. He learned martial arts and acrobatics with an entertainment focus while there.
Amidst some difficulty finding stunt work and following some of his early commercial failures in the acting realm, Chan joined his parents in Canberra in 1976. While there he briefly enrolled at Dickson College and worked in construction. A construction friend named Jack took Chan under his wing, eventually earning him the nickname "Little Jack". This was eventually shortened to "Jackie". Thus, the name Jackie Chan was born.
Chan also changed his Chinese name to Fong Si Lung, in honor of his father's original surname of Fong.
In 1982, Jackie Chan married the popular Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-Jiao (aka Joan Lin). The two had a son that same year named Jaycee Chan, who is a singer and actor himself. It has also been alleged that Chan has a daughter with former Asia Pageant winner Elaine Ng Yi-Lei by the name of Etta Ng Chok Lam. This has not been confirmed to date.
