Yesterday, I'm sure many fans around the world are shocked (and disappointed) to learn that action superstar Jackie Chan announced to the media he quit doing action movie while promoting his upcoming CHINESE ZODIAC at the Cannes Film Festival. But Jackie Chan is quickly responded to the news stories via his Facebook page stating:
Hello all my friends and fans,
Yesterday in my press conference in Cannes for Chinese 12 Zodiac I said that this movie was my last big action movie.
Today I was shocked when I woke up to read all the news coverage that I was retiring from doing Action movies.
I just want to let everyone know that I am not retiring from doing action movies. What I meant to say is that I need to do less of the life risking stunts on my movies. After all these years of doing so many stunts and breaking so many bones, I need to take better care of my body so I can keep working.
I will continue to do international action movies.
And I will keep improving my English :-)
I love all of you!
Jackie

(Whew!) There you have it! It's really a relief that Jackie Chan doesn't really quits doing action movie after all. Even though he'll be doing less death-defying stunts than his previous movies, I'm sure this news is far better than he claims he quits doing action movie entirely.

The man is an inspiration.
As much as it would be a shame not to see Jackie jump like around like a loon anymore. It would be even worse if something bad was to happen to him.
