Chow Yun Fat never accepted the offer to act with Jackie Chan, why is that?

In the 90s of the last century, when referring to Hong Kong cinema, people immediately thought of "Dong Chau Nhat Long". This is the word used to refer to the 3 most famous actors in the fragrant port country at that time, including: Chau Nhuan Phat, Thanh Long and Chau Tinh Tri.

In this trio, Chow Nhuan Phat and Chow Tinh Tri acted together in the movie Bac Dau Song Hung. Jackie Chan and Chow Sing Tri also starred together in Comedy King. But Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan have never acted together. There is information, Jackie Chan has asked Chau Nhuan Phat not less than 2 times to play together. However, the star of the movie "Three Faces ambush" deftly refused.

As a big star, Chau Nhuan Phat is not arrogant. He is willing to accept the role of supporting roles to support juniors. So why did Chow Yun Fat refuse to act with Jackie Chan? Up to this point, both insiders have not spoken. However, Luu Duc Hoa - who was close to both Jackie Chan and Chau Nhuan Phat - had statements that partly explained this. Andy Lau said: "Chau Nhuan Phat and Jackie Chan are not in the same world".

Andy Lau's comment is not unreasonable. As the top star of Hong Kong cinema, with a huge fortune of up to 700 million USD, Chow Yun Fat has a very simple life. He did not buy his own car, only traveled by public transport, ate at roadside eateries, and shopped for discounts.

Hong Kong people have a saying: "If you want to meet the stars, go shopping in the most luxurious shopping centers and stores in the special area. If you want to meet Phat, go to the subway area. , bus station and vegetable market in Kowloon". Chau Nhuan Phat married businessman Tran Oai Lien. They lived together for 31 years but never met anything. Chau Nhuan Phat's wife was pregnant. However, near the date of birth, that child left his parents. The actor decided not to have more children to avoid hurting his wife again.

Chau Nhuan Phat spends 99% of his assets to charity, keeping only 1% to take care of the couple's life. Chau Nhuan Phat said: "It's not my money, but I just keep it for me. If I see someone in need, I'll give it back. Money is an extraneous thing. Because of his talent and virtue, Chau Nhuan Phat is extremely loved by the audience. People call him "Hong Kong Grandmaster".

And Jackie Chan has a completely opposite life. The actor is considered one of the talented artists with many disabilities. He was constantly entangled in scandals such as adultery, abandonment of children, groping with female stars. Even in his memoirs, Jackie Chan admitted that his youth was immersed in alcohol, gambling and drugs.

Jackie Chan likes to appear at lavish events. Every time the actor went down the street, he was surrounded by bodyguards. He almost did not play supporting roles for others. Jackie Chan once vowed to leave all his assets to his son Phung To Danh. Meanwhile, Ngo Trac Lam, his lost daughter with former Miss Ngo Ỷ Loi, despite living in poverty, still did not receive any money, nor did her father support or ask questions in the process of growing up. It is speculated that it is the difference in thinking and lifestyle that makes Chow Yun Fat always refuse invitations to co-star in films with Jackie Chan.

Not long ago, Chinese-language media shared a funny story about Chow Yun Fat, attracting the attention of the audience. In recent years, Chau Nhuan Phat has gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry, however, he is an A-class actor, so he is always sought after by the press. Everyone knows that Chow Yun Fat lived in poverty since childhood, so even though he became a famous actor with a huge fortune, he still lived a very frugal life. During the Tet holiday season, he also cooks a few simple dishes at home, the interior of the house is still the same old style from more than a decade ago.

When going out, Chow Yun Fat is like an ordinary citizen, without bodyguards, without a luxury car, traveling by bus and subway every day. The actor himself must admit that, in one of the taxi rides, he was refused by the driver. Chow Yun Fat confided that once he went to Beijing to film, after leaving the airport it was very late, so he was about to take a taxi to the group alone when the taxi driver asked him where he was going. Chow Yun Fat was in a hurry at that time, so he told the taxi driver that he was Chow Yun Fat and wanted the driver to drive him to the set.

The driver suddenly said: "Chau Nhuan Phat? I didn't realize! It's almost time to change shift, I have to go now, otherwise I will delay the time of the next driver". It turned out that the taxi driver thought he was impersonating Chau Nhuan Phat, so he didn't drive, the reason was also because Chau Nhuan Phat did not look like a leading actor in the Port. Many netizens who knew the driver's answer were surprised. Chow Yun Fat himself was confused by this statement at that time, but fortunately, after a while of persuasion, even having to give identification, the driver finally drove Chow Yun Fat to the set.

On stage, in front of the camera, Chow Yun Fat is a bright star, but off stage, he hides in the crowd, doing the most ordinary jobs. Except when going to film, Chow Yun Fat spent most of his time being an "ordinary citizen", perhaps that's why even though no one noticed, fans still have a great Chow Yun Fat like So.
