Chan’s autobiographical, ‘Never Grow Up’ revealed the incident lived as a treasured memory in the iconic star’s heart as the cupboard remained put in his home. However, Chan is known for his strict role as a father, since he wished his son to be as disciplined as him.

“Didn’t Dare Get Sick”: Despite Having Fever, Jackie Chan Once Received an Unusual Punishment From His Martial Arts Master

Later on, Chan admitted that he reminisced the moment every time he glanced at the cupboard. He claimed that the antique possession was gifted to him by his godfather, Leonard Ho, and treasured antiques and tchotchkes in the piece of furniture. Nevertheless, the item gave him an even greater treasure that is probably more precious than the material ones.

Jackie Chan as the most strict father

Every father roots for the well-being of his son. Similarly, Chan wishes the same for his boy, Jaycee Chan. Although, the path taken to teach morals and values to Jaycee was quite unusual. In his book Never Grow Up, Chan once revealed that his son was terrified when his father gave him orders. “He’s a big boy. He should take care of himself. Don’t live under my shadow”, Chan said. 

Moreover, Chan shared in an interview that he met his son vaguely, specifically, once in two years. As a consequence, the boy grew up distant from his father, which led to Chan’s decision of not letting his son inherit any of his wealth. 

However, the Rush Hour actor was refreshed by the Hollywood star, Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith’s relationship while shooting for the hit movie, ‘Karate Kid’. This led Chan to reflect on his fatherly role and admitted in his book, “I’m not a good dad, but I’m a responsible dad.” Well, Chan’s fun on-screen personality quite perfectly contradicts with his off-screen role as a father.
