Neymar may be one of the biggest sporting icons in the world but it seems even he gets starstruck sometimes.
The Barcelona superstar appears to be closing in on a €220 million (HK$2.03 billion) move to Paris Saint-Germain but still found time to make a promotional trip to China this week, where he came across the son of one of Hong Kong’s most famous faces.

Hong Kong actor and singer Jaycee Chan was also in Shanghai this week and shared an Instagram selfie with Neymar, who asked if Jaycee would pass on a hug to his father, the martial arts legend Jackie Chan.
Jaycee posted another seflie of the pair on his own Instagram account, and captioned the picture: “I’ll send him a big warm hug for you. Nice meeting you!”
Lo and behold, the 34-year-old Jaycee also dialled up his dad on Facetime for Neymar to have a chat, with Neymar posting a screenshot of their conversation.
