There was a particular reason Jackie Chan was such a world-renowned actor. Because of his early expertise in martial arts, he became a sensational stuntman. Because of this, he is well-known in both the eastern and Hollywood film industries.

All the actionable stunts during his career came at a high price and that price was his body. Did you know that Jackie Chan has over 40 broken bones?

For a common man, that would have been fatal or just the end of his career. But for Jackie, it was nothing. Nevertheless, he continued with his acting career and his passion for stunts for a considerable amount of time. Unlike modern times that use advanced technology to perform stunts, Jackie did them on his own.
