[edit] Biography
Jaycee was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, he is the son of Hong Kong action/martial arts star Jackie Chan and top Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-Jiao and half-brother to Etta Ng Chok Lam. However, other sources, including Jackie Chan's autobiography, state that he was born in 1984 and that his parents were married in 1983. On the other hand Jackie's official website states that he was married in 1982.
Jaycee briefly attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia for two semesters and did not graduate.[1] [2]
Giving up on school, he eventually returned to Hong Kong for good in 2003. Although his album and movies have had dismal sales, his studio is adamant that he will be a success one day. In early 2009, Chinese websites reported that he has given up United States citizenship in favor of Chinese citizenship.[3]
For the film Little Big Soldier, Joan Lin suggested that Jaycee costar with his father, but Jackie was highly against it.[4] However, Jaycee has since reconciled with his father, and they star together in Jackie's 100th film, 1911 [5]
During an awards ceremony in Beijing in April 2011, Jackie stated that he would be donating all his assets to charity after his death, letting his son earn his own money and prove his worth. [6]
