A bizarre incident once terrified Jackie Chan

While being thankful for his profession, the Vanguard actor implied how his famous personality helped him to know more about people. In his autobiography Never Grow Up, Chan shared a story where he was “fraught with anxiety”. While at a steak party, he accidentally met a boy whose, “hands were stuffed into a small bag he had slung around his neck”. When they looked at the boy, he glared back at them. Wheb someone from the group asked, ?Stop! What are you doing??, the boy replied, “Nothing.?

Eventually, the boy left the room without doing anything. As Chan wrote, “It turned out he?d meant to go into the next room but had kicked in the wrong door”. Of course, the party was over and they didn’t feel like finishing their food. Later, the Rush Hour actor guessed, “The kid probably had a hand grenade in his bag. That?s the best weapon for when you?re outnumbered.”?Definitely, that was not the only bizarre thing that had happened to him. He went on to share more such incidents in his book.
