Kung Fu star Jackie Chan speaks to the press about his new film 'Skiptrace' on Thursday, and answered queries about his son, Jaycee Chan who was arrested for drug abuse in August.

Together with Director Renny Harlin, Chan promotes their film that revolves around a team of a Hong Kong detective and an American gambler who would embark in a battle against a notorious Chinese criminal.

The film would showcase some of China's most scenic and exotic locations and is set to hit the theaters in 2015.

Harlin, who also directed Die Hard 2, spoke about Jackie with high regards, noting his ability to improvise action as well as coming up with something to add to the scene to make it more comic.

Chan also stars with Johnny Knoxville and X-Men actress Fan Bingbing who portrays his niece. Bingbing recalled a time during her first team up with Chan when they filmed the movie 'Shinjuku Accident' in 2009 and lauded his way of making her feel like part of the family.

"We ate Alaskan crab. He even peeled the crab for me. He treated me just like a family member," she revealed.

Meanwhile, the media were not able to contain queries on updates about Chan's son who was recently taken into police custody in August for possession of marijuana, an illegal herb in China.

After admitting that he had not been a good father to Jaycee when the media bombarded him with queries, Chan pleaded to the media to take it easy on writing up the news for the sake of Jaycee's mother.

"I can withstand [these rumors] but do not harm Jaycee's mother. I beg you, do not use your imagination to write these things," he appealed referring to a rumor that surfaced about the Hong Kong film boss Charles Heung forcing him to kneel as a sign of apology.
