Following Jackie Chan's son, Jaycee's 6 months of incarceration in China for the possession of marijuana, he was finally released last February 13. And Jackie, after a series of press conferences and promotions for his upcoming movie Dragon Blade, was finally able to reunite with his son and cut his hair to give him a fresh start.

After being released from prison, Jaycee attended a press conference where he admitted that he was a marijuana user for eight years but vowed to stay away from the drug and promised that he will not disappoint his family, as well as his friends. His father Jackie also made a promise to spend more time with Jaycee. The recently concluded Lunar New Year was a great time for the Chan family, who were able to reunite and come together in Taiwan. 

Although Jackie tried to remain strict and firm regarding his decisions about Jaycee after the arrest, including only seeing his son after he is done with all the promotions for Dragon Blade, Jackie was obviously unable to contain his eagerness to be reunited with his son. After giving his son a haircut that symbolizes a new beginning, father and son set aside some time to bond. 

Despite the arrest and the issues that surrounded Jaycee, it nevertheless turned things for the better. Not only does Jackie have a healthier and better relationship with Jaycee, but his movie Dragon Blade has also been doing really, really well, topping box office sales in Mainland China. Since its release, the movie had already earned over 500 million RMB or $80 million USD.

Jackie, who is thankful for the support of the fans, vowed that he would do his best to perform his own action scenes, saying that the best way he can give back to viewers is to continue putting in his best efforts in his movies.
