Jackie Chan hints that Jaycee is ready to succeed him

13 Apr – Touched by his son Jaycee Chan's hard work in making his 60th birthday event a success, Jackie Chan who was once estranged to the actor and his ex-wife, hinted that Jaycee is now ready to become his successor.

As reported on The Sun, while speaking to the media at the grand opening of the Jackie Chan Museum in Shanghai on 9 April, the action superstar stated, "Though I will continue to make movies, one day I will retire and I will have to find someone who can take over. Now my relationship with Jaycee has improved and I am happy about his position as the CEO."

Jackie admitted that he had been strict with Jaycee in the past, and even scolded the actor in public numerous times to the extent that the latter refused to contact him again.

"But now things have changed. We're closer now and he even helped a lot in organising the charity concert and looking after the important guests. I used to tell him off in the past and now he tells me off instead!" the actor laughed.

When asked if he is fine about Jaycee succeeding him, Jackie said, "I'm fine with it. But I still have to see how it goes in another few years. If things don't go as planned, I will ask his close friends like Nicholas Tse to help him."

In regards to his wealth, Jackie said that his bank account will be empty after he dies, "The money will go to charity and some of it will become Jaycee's."
