Five more years of action roles for Chan
12/09/2005 - 12:23:52Hong Kong movie icon Jackie Chan today said he expected to stop starring in action films within five years, but he’ll remain busy by producing and directing.
Chan, 51, said he still considered martial arts roles relatively easy, noting that Hollywood veterans such as Clint Eastwood had continued to appear in action thrillers despite their age.
“I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years,” Chan said at a news conference in Malaysia to promote his latest film, The Myth, in which he plays an ancient Chinese general who’s reincarnated as a modern-age archaeologist.
