Jaycee Chan - Jackie Chan's only son: In prison, finding a way back to Cbiz

Jackie Chan is hailed by the media as one of the most famous Chinese stars in the world. He has been married once, to actress Lin Feng-jiao. The couple has an only son, named Stephen Fung.

The incompetent prince of showbiz

At present, the title "Crown Prince of Showbiz" is probably associated with a number of different people. But perhaps many people have forgotten that this title once belonged to one person - Jackie Chan's son - Jaycee Chan.

Jaycee Chan was born in 1982 in Los Angeles (USA), the result of a love affair between Jackie Chan and actress Lin Feng-jiao. At that time, Jackie Chan was still a world-class womanizer, marriage was never in his life plan. Of course, Jaycee Chan's birth did not interrupt Jackie Chan's fleeting love affairs.

Under the weight of the media, Jaycee Chan became Jackie Chan's secret child. For a long time Jaycee Chan and his mother lived in the United States with a full life but lacking fatherly love. Jaycee Chan later confided that he was forbidden to tell people that he was Jackie Chan's son, and for many years he only saw his father a few times.

It was not until Jaycee Chan was 17 that he was officially announced as Jackie Chan's son. At that time, Jackie Chan was no longer young, and the dynasty he built probably needed a crown prince to inherit the throne.

Because he could not give his son complete love, Jackie Chan used money to compensate. People called Jackie Chan the king of martial arts and Jaycee Chan was naturally known as "Dragon Prince". And a life filled with money but not enough education made Jaycee Chan become depraved and slide into alcohol, gambling, women and drugs. People said that almost all the bars and entertainment venues in Hong Kong (China) were visited by "Dragon Prince".

With the support of his famous father, Jaycee Chan has been active in showbiz but has not achieved anything. Instead of using his father's fame to advance in the industry, Jaycee Chan has used it to become the king of the Hong Kong (China) entertainment world. All-night parties, fleeting love affairs, Jaycee Chan's life revolves around the scent of alcohol and expensive perfume mixed together.

Behind Jaycee Chan's back, people sarcastically call him "Incompetent Crown Prince".

And then the famous playboy who once roamed everywhere with sleepless nights from Lan Kwai Fong to Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, also one day "broke his wings".

In August 2014, Jaycee Jaycee and his friend, actor Kai Ko, were arrested for using and possessing illegal substances. Jaycee Jaycee admitted to using illegal substances for 8 years, since he first entered the entertainment industry. At that time, Jackie Chan used all his connections but could not save his son from prison. The funniest thing was that Jackie Chan was also the ambassador of the anti-illegal substance campaign in China.

Jaycee Chan was sentenced to 6 months in prison and fined 2,000 yuan. Although he was only sentenced to 6 months in prison, those 180 days were a "rebirth" for Jaycee Chan, a young master who grew up in luxury.

Because of the seriousness of the incident, and the government's desire to use this incident to deter showbiz artists, Jaycee Chan did not receive any concessions.

Struggling to redefine your life

6 months in prison, more than 180 days for Jaycee Chan, seem to have become an unforgettable milestone in his life. The lavish meals, the parties filled with drugs, alcohol and beautiful women are now simple prison meals. The sleepless nights are now replaced by a disciplined schedule. The fun times with friends are replaced by hours of reading.

Jaycee Chan spent 6 months in prison reading books, redefining his life. He refused to see his parents during his time in prison. The thing Jaycee Chan requested the most while in prison was books, he read a lot of books during this time. From a rich kid who never did anything, Jaycee Chan learned how to wash clothes and fold blankets.

After being released from prison, Jaycee Chan held a press conference to apologize to his fans. He then returned to Taiwan (China) with his mother, choosing a private life completely different from the rich kid of the past.

Later, Jaycee Chan turned to business and completely left showbiz.

In 2022, Jaycee Chan made a surprise appearance at the Memorial Film Festival for the late director Lee Hang. This was also a rare public appearance for Jaycee Chan after being released from prison. At the event, the 40-year-old star shared that his mother (Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-jiao) and director Lee had a blood-like relationship.

In early 2024, there was information that Jaycee Chan had secretly married. However, Jaycee Chan did not confirm or deny this information.

On the morning of August 14, Jaycee Chan released a music video titled "Finding the Light". He deliberately chose this day to release the music video because 10 years ago was the day Jaycee Chan was arrested by the Beijing police. 10 years have passed, the outside world has seen him silent, even thinking that he has left the entertainment industry, but he responded that he has never given up.

It is known that Jaycee Chan wrote the lyrics, composed the music and also directed the MV. In the MV, Jaycee Chan filmed many scenes under the deep sea and interspersed them with past photos of himself, his parents and grandfather.

Under Jaycee Chan's MV, many people left comments praising his voice, music, and setting. Many people hope that after 10 years of struggling, Jaycee Chan will find the light of his life.
