Actor Jackie Chan will always vouch for doing his own stunts in his action movies. The star, who has gifted moviegoers and fans all over the world with several action films, most notably in the Karate Kid franchise, said that he has no plans to change the fact anytime soon. After a 15-year absence from the Karate Kid universe, the 71-year-old star is reprising his role as Mr. Han in the latest instalment, The Karate Kid: Legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Jackie Chan said about doing action<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview during global promotions, Jackie Chan said, \u201cOf course, I always do my own stunts. It\u2019s who I am. That\u2019s not changing until the day I retire, which is never! And to be honest, when you\u2019ve done it for 64 years straight, there\u2019s no physical preparation anymore. Everything is in your heart and soul; it is muscle memory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018I\u2019m not encouraging anybody to risk their lives\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The star also commented on how much technology has complemented the stunt work in movies. He added, \u201cIn the old days, the only (choice we had) was to be there and jump; that\u2019s it. Today, with computers, actors can do anything, but there\u2019s always a sense of reality that you feel is missing. It\u2019s a double-edged sword. On one hand, actors become more and more capable of doing impossible stunts with the help of technology, and yet, on the other hand, the concept of danger and limit gets blurred, and the audience is numb (to it). But I\u2019m not encouraging anybody to risk their lives to do the stunts like I did; it truly is too dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Karate Kid: Legends is set to release in theatres on May 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
