Jackie Chan loves his family and has always had their support throughout his career. His wife, Joan Lin Feng-Jia, gave up her acting profession just to move to the States and be by her husband’s side. Despite all this, Chan revealed that he failed to trust Lin his early days.
In fact, even when their son Jaycee was born, Chan still doubted her. In his book, Chan reasoned with his past behavior and blamed his friend’s incident for the same.

In his book Never Grow Up, Jackie Chan made several previously unknown revelations and talked about his personal life in detail. While talking about his family, Chan recalled the day his son Jaycee was born. Although it was happy news, Chan did not feel content about it.
“As happy as I was that Joan and Jaycee were both fine and that I was a father, I have to admit that some doubts popped into my head,” confessed the actor. Although Chan loved his wife, and never doubted her at first, it was an incident that had occurred with his friend that left him torn.
He narrated the story in his book and wrote, “One of my martial artist friends came home after a movie shoot to his entire house cleaned out by his girlfriend?money, savings, furniture, all gone.” Besides this, Chan’s other friends often filled his mind with false perceptions about women.

Further in his book, Chan explained that his friend’s negative influence grew so much on him that he did not trust Joan Lin with his money. Chan had become so delusional that even after earning millions, he limited Lin’s access to his finances.
