Title: Never Grow Up Pdf
A candid, thrilling memoir from one of the most recognizable, influential, and beloved cinematic personalities in the world.
Everyone knows Jackie Chan. Whether it's from Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon, The Karate Kid, or Kung Fu Panda, Jackie is admired by generations of moviegoers for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, and mind-bending stunts. In 2016 - after 56 years in the industry, over 200 films, and many broken bones - he received an honorary Academy Award for his lifetime achievement in film. But at 64 years old, Jackie is just getting started.
Now, in Never Grow Up, the global superstar reflects on his early life, including his childhood years at the China Drama Academy (in which he was enrolled at the age of six), his big breaks (and setbacks) in Hong Kong and Hollywood, his numerous brushes with death (both on and off film sets), and his life as a husband and father (which has been, admittedly and regrettably, imperfect).
Jackie has never shied away from his mistakes. Since The Young Master in 1980, Jackie's films have ended with a bloopers reel in which he stumbles over his lines, misses his mark, or crashes to the ground in a stunt gone south. In Never Grow Up, Jackie applies the same spirit of openness to his life, proving time and time again why he's beloved the world over: He's honest, funny, kind, brave beyond reckoning and - after all this time - still young at heart.
Fun quick read. Entertaining. Good and enjoyable read. Things you have heard of in the past but he confirms it here in his book. Lots of other interesting stories as well.The Better JC Autobiography This book borrows heavily from JC's first autobiography, 1998's My Life In Action, and so if you've already read that book just know this new book includes many of the same stories. this book, however, definitely covers a lot of new ground, and not just post-1998 events, so it's not entirely redundant.Also, compared to the first book, Never Grow Up seems far less fictionalized. My Life In Action contains a lot of detailed dialogue, much of it from JC's very early life, and at times reads like a story book more than an autobiography. With Never Grow Up, it's easier to imagine JC himself telling the stories--the voice seems more authentic, and there aren't nearly as many dramatized and drawn out moments.One other notable difference is how much this book focuses on JC's son and wife, who are scarcely mentioned in the first book. I always had the impression that JC married and then was a completely absentee husband, but this book makes it seem like he and his wife are close and have always been fairly close. I'm not sure how much of that is an attempt to craft the image JC wants, or whether it's real.All in all, a good introduction to Jackie Chan's life and career, and a very easy read.Jackie Chan is a Star Excellent and very telling book. Includes a lot of history on Chan, and some of his highest and lowest moments.
