- Jackie Chan writes candidly about his troubled past in his book, but leaves out some details of his life
- The actor’s illegitimate daughter Etta Ng is never mentioned and her actress mother is not named
In his new memoir, Never Grow Up, kung fu film legend Jackie Chan writes about many low points of his life, such as drinking, visiting prostitutes and overspending. However, he glosses over several controversial areas of his life which are already matters of public record.
Here are five areas mentioned only in passing that many readers would want to learn more about.
The affair
“In 1999, I made a serious mistake.” Chan writes that after having an affair, he held a family meeting with wife Joan Lin and son Jaycee to discuss the matter. But he says nothing at all about the “other woman”, actress Elaine Ng, such as how they met, how long the affair went on, how their affair was discovered, and how this affected his reputation.
He also doesn’t address rumours of other affairs.
