Jackie Chan, the 70-year-old Hong Kong-born actor and Guinness World Record holder, will serve as a torchbearer for the upcoming Paralympics in Paris. The celebrated Hollywood star will carry the ceremonial torch in the lead-up to Wednesday's opening ceremony, marking a new milestone in his illustrious career.
Chan, known for his unique blend of comedy and martial arts, has a massive following in France and worldwide. Born in British colonial Hong Kong in 1954, Chan began his career as a child actor and later served as a stunt double in Bruce Lee's 1972 film, "Fist of Fury." His ability to combine thrilling fight scenes with slapstick humor in films like "Drunken Master" and "Police Story" catapulted him to stardom across Asia.
