Chan: I'm too old
for film fights
Hong Kong action movie star Jackie Chan says he's getting too old
to do the stunts that made him famous. He hopes to prove to
audiences he can act, too, reports Agence France-Presse.
''The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor
like Robert De Niro, like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in
their 70s or 80s can still act,'' Chan, 51, said at the world
premiere of his latest film The Myth at the Toronto International
Film Festival.
''I know the audiences love to see Rush Hour One, Two, Three, Four,
Five. But, I'm tired,'' he said. ''I've hurt myself too much,'' he
said. ``I'm not young anymore.''
Chan said he wanted to do more dramatic or fantasy roles, maybe
even sing and dance in a Bollywood film.
