Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s eldest son, Patrick Schwarzenegger often shares news updates that excite him on social media. The Moxie star recently took to Twitter again to share a piece of rather big news about a martial artist and a movie legend. Jack Chan is back in the theatres to entertain the audience and this time in a voiceover capacity. The man who has been known to shoot life-threatening stunt scenes for most of his career will be seen in a much milder role this time. Patrick Schwarzenegger, like most of us, couldn’t really hide his thrill. The three words he used in the caption, perfectly encapsulate his emotions.
A Twitter account ‘Discussing Film’ shared a massive update regarding Jackie Chan’s new role in the film. A master or sensei from the comic world, this anthropomorphic fictional character is a martial arts instructor. Here’s what Patrick Schwarzenegger said.
