Chan says he is unmatched

LONDON: Jackie Chan is certain that there will no other star like him. According to contactmusic.com, he believes he has created the template for martial-arts performing Hollywood stunt actors. Chan believes he will not be matched ever. He said, “There are dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of young actors who have the talent to do the kind of movies I’ve done. But because of the situation that existed when I began making movies, I don’t think there will ever be another Jackie Chan.” He added: “When I started out, there was nobody doing what I was doing — combining comedy with martial arts and daredevil stunts. It would be hard to reproduce the circumstances that allowed me to have the level of success that I had.” — HNS
