Chan Kong-sang (meaning born in Hong Kong) known to the wide world as Jackie Chan has taken a lot of blows in life, I mean literally. Starting off as a 17 year old nobody in the entertainment world the 54 year old actor has a lot of struggle under his belt. A huge number of bruises, falls, injuries and cuts later he is now the highest paid Asian actor in the world. However age is catching up and the actor is not really sure how long he would be able to take it all.
While shooting for his latest venture Armour of God in Yugoslavia he was seriously injured with a deep wound on his skull. Injuries and accidents are commonplace for this action star famous for doing his stunts on his own. However this injury the star admits has been the worst one so far, where he fell off from a tree and had to be hospitalized for almost two weeks. His forthcoming venture though has been a much safer proposition. The animated feature film Kungfu Panda about a Panda who wants to be a Kungfu Expert has Chan lending only his voice. The film released on June 6th has already been commercially successful and is going second to The Incredible Hulk. Other stars who have lent their voice to the film include big names in the industry like Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu and others.
