Everyone knows Jackie Chan. Whether it’s from Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon, The Karate Kid, or Kung Fu Panda, Jackie is admired by generations of moviegoers for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, and mind-bending stunts. In 2016—after fifty-six years in the industry, over 200 films, and many broken bones—he received an honorary Academy Award for his lifetime achievement in film. But at 64 years-old, Jackie is just getting started.

Now, in Never Grow Up, the global superstar reflects on his early life, including his childhood years at the China Drama Academy (in which he was enrolled at the age of six), his big breaks (and setbacks) in Hong Kong and Hollywood, his numerous brushes with death (both on and off film sets), and his life as a husband and father (which has been, admittedly and regrettably, imperfect).

Jackie has never shied away from his mistakes. Since The Young Master in 1980, Jackie’s films have ended with a bloopers reel in which he stumbles over his lines, misses his mark, or crashes to the ground in a stunt gone south. In Never Grow Up, Jackie applies the same spirit of openness to his life, proving time and time again why he’s beloved the world over: he’s honest, funny, kind, brave beyond reckoning and—after all this time—still young at heart.

Jackie Chan, a maior estrela da Ásia

Jackie Chan é o único e o último de sua linha, o falcão asiático não pretende parar de voar tão cedo, embora suas costas doam.

Embora os anos iniciais de sua vida e carreira tenham sido difíceis, eles foram a pressão necessária para criar o diamante a prova de morte que os fãs aprenderam a admirar.

No entanto, nem tudo é abordado, principalmente escândalos. Jackie teve uma filha fora do casamento, como é bem citado no livro, embora nada mais do que uma citação.

O livro é escrito no velho estilo de humor Jackie Chan, piadas leves e boas tiradas fazem desse livro uma leitura muito divertida, envolvente e até intrigante.
