Jackie Chan on Young Actors
In a talk show commemorating the Golden Rooster Awards, Jackie Chan expressed disapproval towards young actors who do not want to work hard to further their career.
The 67-year-old actor made the remarks in a broadcast on Jan. 5. He spoke about the obstacles he overcame in the beginning of his career and the dangerous stunts he executed. Young actors, Chan said, have to put in the work and remain dedicated in order to succeed.
The legendary actor contrasted his career history with the attitudes of young actors today, saying he had been angered by the statements he’d heard.
“They must have action scenes and it must look beautiful but they do not want to experience any hardship,” he said, citing complaints such as, “‘Our actors cannot perspire,’ ‘Our actors cannot do action stunts,’ ‘ Our actors cannot do dangerous activities.’”
Chan remains influential in Hollywood, with Marvel Cinematic Universe director Destin Cretton saying he was directly influenced by Chan’s iconic martial arts films when creating “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”

If this happened on campus, Stanford should issue a clear public update and specific safety actions.

Agree. People need facts and process, not silence. The school should confirm what is being investigated.

Also important to separate verified details from rumors so this does not spiral online.

The death threat part is extremely serious. Hoping law enforcement and campus security are already involved.

This is where official reporting and support channels need to be visible and easy to access.
