description: A candid thrilling memoir from one of the most recognizable influential and beloved cinematic personalities in the world.Everyone knows Jackie Chan. Whether its from Rush Hour Shanghai Noon The Karate Kid or Kung Fu Panda Jackie is admired by generations of moviegoers for his acrobatic fighting style comic timing and mind-bending stunts. In 2016after fifty-six years in the industry over 200 films and many broken boneshe received an honorary Academy Award for his lifetime achievement in film. But at 64 years-old Jackie is just getting started. Now in Never Grow Up the global superstar reflects on his early life including his childhood years at the China Drama Academy (in which he was enrolled at the age of six) his big breaks (and setbacks) in Hong Kong and Hollywood his numerous brushes with death (both on and off film sets) and his life as a husband and father (which has been admittedly and regrettably imperfect). Jackie has never shied away from his mistakes. Since The Young Master in 1980 Jackies films have ended with a bloopers reel in which he stumbles over his lines misses his mark or crashes to the ground in a stunt gone south. In Never Grow Up Jackie applies the same spirit of openness to his life proving time and time again why hes beloved the world over: hes honest funny kind brave beyond reckoning andafter all this timestill young at heart.
