Jackie Chan is ready to express himself through the art of song and dance.
The Hong Kong-born action-movie icon has revealed that he ispenning a
script for a musical adaptation of his 1998 memoir I Am Jackie Chan:
My Life in Action.
"We are looking for a director for the musical right now. It's all
very exciting," Chan said at a press conference today at the Hong Kong
Economic and Trade Office in New York, per The Hollywood Reporter.
The show will reportedly encompass the lives of his parents, the Rush
Hour star's early education at the Peking Opera School and his rise to
stardom.
Chan's musical will also touch on his early youth, the time he spent
as an acrobat with the children's performance group the Seven Little
Fortunes and how he managed to distinguish himself from fellow
martial-arts film legend Bruce Lee.
The 59-year-old star was also in town to receive a lifetime
achievement award last night from the New York Asian Film Festival,
which screened his latest movie, Chinese Zodiac.
