Jackie Chan's 42YO son makes rare public appearance at wedding in South Korea
American singer-actor Jaycee Chan, the son of Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan, has largely kept a low profile since his 2014 drug scandal.
He rarely appears in public and has reportedly starred in just three films since then – Monk Comes Down The Mountain (2015), Railroad Tigers (2016) and Good Night Beijing (2021).
Recently, Jaycee Chan gained media attention after making a rare public appearance at Korean-American model Irene Kim's wedding in South Korea.
The 42-year-old appeared to be in good spirits as he warmly congratulated the newly married couple and posed for photos with guests.
The celebration was said to be a lavish affair, with numerous high-profile socialites from Hong Kong and Taiwan in attendance.
According to China Press , Chan is purportedly living in Taipei City now and often hangs out with friends at nightclubs.
For the record, Chan was jailed for six months in China in 2014 after police found over 100g of marijuana at his home. He also tested positive for the drug.
The scandal derailed his career, with major brands cutting ties with him.
Back in 2011, Jackie publicly shared his plans to donate half his fortune to charity upon his death, adding that his son would 'just be wasting my money.'
Following the latter's release from prison, both father and son reunited for the first time in Taiwan and have since reconciled.
Chan is the only son of Jackie and his wife, former actress Joan Lin.
Jackie has another 25-year-old daughter Etta Ng Chok Lam from an extramarital affair with former beauty queen Elaine Ng.

Meet Tracy Phillips, The Living-Dead Dancer In MCR's 'Helena'
Subscribe to our FREE Any My Chemical Romance fan will be able to remember the epic opening to 'Helena', one of the American rock band's most iconic music videos. The video starts off sombre, with mourners entering a church to attend a funeral for someone named Helena. In less than 20 seconds, the funeral attendees burst into dance as the Gerard belts out the first verse full of sorrow. All of this happens around one central piece of the video: the deceased Helena, who later comes to life and joins the dance in a macabre celebration. Since the video was released, Helena has become an icon to all MCR fans and the goth/emo scene in general. Her ballerina-inspired burial outfit, the haunting solo dance from her coffin and down the church aisle, all elevated MCR's Helena into one of emo music video history's most memorable visual narratives. The song explores themes of grief, loss, and the impact of death, particularly the regret and self-blame that MCR frontman Gerard Way felt for not being present for his late grandmother in her final year of life. And yes, the song is a heartfelt tribute to his grandmum Elena Lee Rush who is also nicknamed Helena. But who is the real Helena? Her name is Tracy Phillips, and she's much more than just a pretty ballet zombie. She is also an actress, dancer, and choreographer, which made her perfect for MCR's emotionally-charged music video. Outside of Helena, she has worked on a variety of film and television projects in capacities such as choreography and acting including in films like 500 Days of Summer, The Muppets, and Jackass Number Two, according to British rock, punk and heavy metal music magazine She also frequently performs and choreographs in the L.A. underground arts scene and has worked with innovative troupes like Talk about talent! Biographical details on Phillips are relatively scarce, save the fact that she is credited on Internet Movie Database (IMDb) simply as the actress playing Helena in the MCR music video. She is also credited as choreographer in goth rock band Evanescence's music video Call Me When You're Sober (2006) on the Internet Music Video Database (IMVDb). A Wade was a prominent figure in the American National Football League (NFL) and has been the head coach of teams like the Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and more. Fans of MCR are still enchanted by 'Helena' until today On social media, Tracy is still celebrated by fans at meet and greets, proving how big of an impact she made just by appearing in a music video that was released in 2005. Some even commented on her appearance as she seemingly did not age since she was first seen in the music video, and joked that she and Gerard Way are vampires due to their apparent youthfulness. Tracy is celebrated not just for her technical skill, but for the emotional depth and narrative quality she brings to every performance. Whether it's a music video, a film scene, or a live act, her work continues to captivate audiences through its elegance, intensity, and storytelling power. The odds of her coming to Malaysia are slim, but at least we'll get to be reminded of her whe MCR comes down to Malaysia next year. The iconic emo rock band is set to perform at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on 31 April and 1 May. Tickets for both days sold out in mere hours, and the second day was added later due to overwhelming demand — Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

Francis Ford Coppola recovers after scheduled heart procedure in Rome
ROME: Francis Ford Coppola, the acclaimed American director of 'The Godfather' movies and 'Apocalypse Now,' underwent a non-emergency cardiac procedure in a Rome hospital and is doing fine, he and a U.S.-based representative said on Tuesday. 'Mr. Coppola went in for a scheduled update procedure' performed by renowned Italian-born cardiologist Dr. Andrea Natale 'and is resting nicely,' the representative said in response to Italian media reports that the director was hospitalised. 'All is well.' Coppola, 86, has been a patient of Natale for more than 30 years, the representative said. The filmmaker was admitted on Tuesday to the Policlinico Tor Vergata, a public hospital in the Italian capital, news agency ANSA reported. The U.S.-based representative declined to give any details about the nature of Coppola's medical procedure, but said: 'There was not an emergency. He went to the hospital in a car. He had a scheduled appointment.' Coppola posted a photograph of himself on Instagram appearing relaxed and smiling with a message reassuring fans, 'I am well.' 'Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30-year-old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor - Dr. Andrea Natale,' it said. He did not elaborate further. The term 'a-fib' in medical parlance is short for atrial fibrillation, a type of abnormal heart rhythm. Natale, currently the executive director of the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, is an electrophysiology specialist who pioneered several treatments and devices for the treatment of such disorders. Coppola was in Italy to promote his latest movie, the science-fiction epic 'Megalopolis,' a $120 million self-funded production about a visionary architect's quest to transform a futuristic version of New York City called New Rome into a utopian community. The film, which has drawn mixed reviews and struggled at the box office following its 2024 debut at the Cannes Film Festival, was reported to have received a special screening at the Magna Graecia Film Festival in Catanzaro, Italy. The Italian-American director has won five Academy Awards, four of them for his work on the first two films in 'The Godfather' trilogy, widely considered by cinema buffs to rank among the greatest movies of all time. - Reuters
