#SHOWBIZ: Jackie Chan makes rare appearance with son Jaycee in Switzerland
HONG KONG: American singer-actor Jaycee Chan, the son of Hong Kong icon Datuk Jackie Chan, has largely kept a low profile since his 2014 drug scandal. At that time, Jackie, 71, voiced his disappointment with his son and said he would not use his connections to help him. They reconciled after Jaycee, 42, completed his six-month prison sentence and have rarely been seen together in public until recently. On Wednesday (Aug 6), a netizen on Xiaohongshu revealed that they had unexpectedly run into Jackie and his son at Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The post included a photo of Jackie – dressed casually in an all-white outfit – strolling alongside a few others. Although Jaycee's face wasn't visible in the picture, the netizen said he was the one wearing a black cap. "I was sitting on a chair by the lake when I turned around and saw Jackie Chan! The guy in the black cap next to him was Jaycee, but I didn't snap a photo of him," the user wrote. Jackie is in Switzerland to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 78th Locarno Film Festival tomorrow. The father and son appeared together in films such as The Twins Effect II (2004) and 1911 (2011), where they showcased their on-screen chemistry. Jaycee is the only son of Jackie and his wife, former actress Joan Lin. The action star has an estranged 25-year-old daughter, Etta Ng, from an extramarital affair with former beauty queen Elaine Ng.

Jackie Chan Makes Rare Public Appearance With Son Jaycee Chan
Before his scandal, American-born singer Jaycee Chan (房祖名) was often with his father, renowned actor Jackie Chan (成龙). However, it's been years since the father-son pair have been spotted together in public, which is why this recent photo had many talking. Recently, a XiaoHongShu user took to the platform to reveal that she had met Jackie and Jaycee while on a trip in Switzerland. The post included a photo of the two walking alongside a few other individuals. In the captions, the user wrote, 'I met Jackie Chan at Lake Geneva! I was sitting on a chair by the lake, and when I turned around, I saw Jackie Chan! The guy in the black hat next to him was Jaycee Chan, but I couldn't get a picture of him.' While Jaycee's face wasn't shown in the picture, the image marks the first time he was seen in public with his father in years. The two had previously starred in many movies together, showcasing their father-son chemistry on screen. However, ever since the 42-year-old's drug scandal in 2014, Jaycee has kept a low profile. His relationship with his father also reportedly took a toll, but, as the new photo shows, the two have since reconciled. Jaycee has also stepped away from the entertainment industry, working mostly behind the scenes. His most recent public work was the single, 'In Search Of Darkness', released in August 2024. He also hasn't made many public appearances in recent years, but was spotted at the wedding of Korean-American model Irene Kim. Since the star rarely updates his social media, it's unknown where he plans to return to acting or singing. Meanwhile, his father, Jackie, has remained active in the entertainment industry. In fact, the actor is in Switzerland to be honoured with the Pardo alla Carriera lifetime achievement award at the Locarno Film Festival. The award ceremony will take place on 9th August 2025 (Saturday), and there will also be a public panel conversation on the following day, where fans can meet the star. Jackie's new film, 'The Shadow's Edge', will also premiere later this month. While Jackie and Jaycee may not appear together in public as often as they used to, it's good to know that their relationship is still good behind the scenes. What are your thoughts on this?

Jackie Chan's Son Jaycee Chan Looks Visibly Older In Recent Public Appearance
Jaycee Chan (房祖名), the son of Hong Kong cinema icon Jackie Chan (成龙), once had a promising career in showbiz until a drug scandal shunned him from the screens. Now, the 42-year-old keeps a low profile, rarely appearing in public. Recently, new photos of Jaycee made rounds on the internet, giving the public a glimpse at the star's current status. According to reports, the pictures were taken at the wedding of Korean-American model Irene Kim. Jaycee wore a blue button-up shirt, a white blazer and a blue cap. The public figure's facial features remained unchanged, and he looked happy, smiling alongside other wedding guests. However, in one photo where Jaycee took off his cap, the actor looked older. While it appears he had shaved his head on purpose, some netizens mentioned that his hairline looked irregular. This discovery prompted comments suggesting that the actor might be balding or his hairline receding, causing him to look older. Jaycee also wore glasses during the wedding, which made him look more mature. The new photos also sparked discussions about Jaycee's current status since moving away from the entertainment industry after his drug case. In 2014, the actor was caught in possession of marijuana, which landed him in jail for six months. Since his release, the star is rumoured to have settled down in Taiwan. However, it's likely that he also regularly travels to the US as he has a tequila business based in the country. In 2024, Jaycee released his first song after a ten-year hiatus from singing. Before that, he made his directorial debut in 2021 with the movie 'Good Night Beijing'. However, those two projects remain the only releases from Jaycee in recent years. Since the star also rarely updates his social media, with his last post dated last year, it's unknown whether the star has plans to return to acting and singing. Given his low-key appearance at the wedding, perhaps we can assume that Jaycee is more comfortable being away from the cameras now. What are your thoughts on this? Source: China Press
