1911

Chan and his father starred together in Jackie's 100th film, 1911.

The team-up resulted in Jackie Chan's least profitable and worst reviewed film to date.

To appeal to non-Chinese audiences, his studios hired Korean and Singaporean artists Jang Na-ra and Fann Wong to promote Chan's new film Whoever.

The film was meant to satire Chan's life as a playboy from a famous father.

Once again, the film was a box office disaster, not placing in the Chinese top ten, despite a government mandate requiring it to be played at half the nation's theaters.

The studios decided not to release the film theatrically in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

1982

Jaycee Joming Chan (, born December 3, 1982) is a Hong Kong and American singer and actor.

Chan was born on December 3, 1982, in Los Angeles, California, the son of Taiwanese actress Joan Lin and Hong Kong-born Chinese martial arts star Jackie Chan.

On the other hand, Jackie's official website states that Chan was born in 1982.

Chan briefly attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, for two semesters, but did not graduate.

He has a penchant for luxury cars and nightlife and stated that he left school because "all you can see in Virginia is sheep."

Chan speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Sources, including Jackie Chan's autobiography, state that he was born in 1984 and that his parents were married in 1983.

He later went to Taiwan to continue his music career.

He is the son of Hong Kong-born Chinese actor and martial artist Jackie Chan and Taiwanese actress Joan Lin.

He sings and performs in Mandarin and Cantonese.

He composed the music and wrote the lyrics for 10 of the 13 tracks on his first CD, "Jaycee" (2004).

His film debut was The Twins Effect II, in which his father had a cameo role.

His second role was a Hong Kong romance film 2 Young, in which he co-starred with Hong Kong Cantopop singer Fiona Sit.

2007

In 2007, he co-starred alongside Nicholas Tse and Shawn Yue in Benny Chan's action film Invisible Target.

Despite heavy promotions and awards, his albums and movies have not been commercially successful.

His film Double Trouble only grossed US$9000 in Hong Kong in the first two weeks.

2009

In early 2009, Chinese websites reported he had given up his United States citizenship in favor of Chinese citizenship to appeal to local audiences.

He later confirmed this on Instagram.

He voiced the younger version of his father's character Master Monkey in Secrets of the Furious Five.

In addition, he voiced Master Crane in the Cantonese version of Kung Fu Panda and its sequel Kung Fu Panda 2.

Chan, whose father Jackie had been China's anti-drug goodwill ambassador since 2009, admitted to taking drugs for 8 years.

Soon after, Jackie Chan made a public apology for his son's drug use.

Chan was sentenced to six months in state prison, and served out his full sentence behind bars.

Jaycee’s career and reputation took a massive hit after the drug scandal.

In 2021, he started his own Tequila brand Los 7 Ángeles.

On August 18, 2014, it was reported that Chan had been arrested on August 14, by Beijing police due to drug possession, alongside Kai Ko, a Taiwanese actor.

Public informants known as Chaoyang masses were credited for turning Chan in.

Police later found more than 100 g of marijuana after searching Chan's apartment.

While Ko was set to be released 14 days after his arrest, Chan faced criminal charges and sentences up to the death penalty or life imprisonment for allegedly hosting others to consume marijuana.

2015

In 2015, his father revealed that Chan had shown interest on writing a script for a sequel to CZ12 and will make the film "if it's right".
