Jackie Chan: Not Retiring Anytime Soon?

Hong Kong martial arts superstar Jackie Chan says he will let his body decide as to his retirement from action films as opposed to what he has announced at the Cannes film festival in France last year.
In an interview that actor has attended to promote his 2012 Chinese action movie 'Chinese Zodiac,' the actor said that whenever he is asked whether he was going to retire, he always says 'five years from now,' but the actor still hasn't retired.

The Kung Fu actor said he would like to see how far he could go before his body conditions would dictate for him to stop starring in action movies.
In his last movie, Jackie Chan once more showcased his high-flying stunts just like he has in more than 100 movies he starred in both in Asia and in Hollywood.
The actor shared that he has also gotten hurt through his 50 years in the film industry and has expressed that it got tiring for him as well.
Last April, the Hong Kong superstar had celebrated his 60th birthday in Beijing, making it a charity event by inviting stars such as David Beckham and Korean-Chinese band EXO to perform on a week-long concert.
At his age, the actor seems to be in very good shape, however, when asked what his secrets are for keeping fit, he wouldn't share it.
The actor also jokingly said that he hopes his fans would forgive him for hiring doubles to do some of his stunts nowadays so he would be able to continue his career in Hollywood as he couldn't actually be hired for other genres besides what he does best.
His role in the action-comedy franchise "Rush Hour" has helped Jackie Chan cement his place in Hollywood 15 years ago.
These days, the actor is busy with his filming career and managing his new Korea-based boy band JJCC.
