Shanghai Knights revisited: An Interview with Jackie Chan’s Double and Stand-in
During the premiere of KARATE KID: LEGENDS in New York City on 27 May 2025, Jackie Chan mentioned in an interview that, in addition to RUSH HOUR 4, he would also like to shoot the third part of the SHANGHAI NOON series, SHANGHAI DAWN. So I had a chat with Jackie’s double from the second part.
In June 2025, a new 4K box set of ARMOUR OF GOD II – OPERATION CONDOR (1991) was released by 88 Films, for whose booklet I was able to interview the actress and Jackie’s dialogue coach Diana Weng in detail. As a fan of Jackie Chan, but also of action and Hong Kong films in general, you shouldn’t miss this limited edition.
Diana Weng has been at Jackie’s side since RUSH HOUR. Her last film together with Big Brother was indeed KARATE KID: LEGENDS. She has very special memories of the SHANGHAI NOON series. In our conversation, she also mentions the Kazakhstan actor Ramazan Amirgaliyev, who was appointed Jackie’s double and stand-in in Prague.
So today, on Ramazan’s birthday, in addition to my interview with Diana Weng, let’s dive into the past and listen to his anecdotes about the experience of getting the opportunity to shoot a film with Jackie Chan as a student.
Hi, Ramazan. Really excited to talk with Jackie Chan’s stand-in. Thank you in advance for answering all of my questions.
Hey, very nice meeting you. I hope I remember everything; it was a long time ago.
Over 20 years! Let’s start off with your background.
Sure. My name is Ramazan Amirgaliyev. I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I am an actor and have worked in films, commercials, and TV series. I studied Political Science and International Relations in the Czech Republic. I made that decision during my last years in high school in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
So, in 1995, I went to study the Czech language in a small town near Prague called Poděbrady. There, we studied the Czech language and specialized subjects. After that, I was admitted to study Political Science at Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences.
Did you work as an actor already back then?
Yes, I acted in various commercials and films, and I was registered with several casting agencies in the Czech Republic, in Prague. I was often invited to work as an exotic face in commercials and films.
In 2001, some scenes for the movie FROM HELL, starring Johnny Depp, were filmed in Prague. Interestingly, they filmed at the place where my friends studied. It was in the city centre, and I participated as an extra there. At that time, my idols were Johnny Depp, Jackie Chan and Keanu Reeves, and I was fortunate to work as an extra on FROM HELL. I saw Johnny Depp, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get close enough to meet him. Back then, there weren’t any [digital] cameras, at least I didn’t have one to capture it all. I walked by and said hello to him. It was incredibly impressive for me, being a student from Kazakhstan.
In Prague, I participated in a scene for the movie BLADE II which was around 2001 or 2002. It was a scene set in a nightclub where I played one of the vampires being killed by Wesley Snipes’ character. There was a shootout, everyone was getting sliced left and right, and honestly, I remember having vampire makeup applied, and then being covered in a lot of blood, lying somewhere among other vampires.
I also participated in many photo shoots for various magazines, often for advertising clothing. Later on, I appeared in various other extras or roles where Asians were needed. I can’t even remember the names now.
Jackie shot in Prague years later. How did you get the part of his stand-in?
Once, maybe it was December or January, I heard that they were going to shoot a film with Jackie Chan in the Czech Republic. For some reason, I immediately had a feeling that I would definitely be part of that project. It was just a strong inner feeling. And finally, around January or February, I got a call from a casting agency located in Prague, on Spálená Street. I went there, talked to the team, and they told me, “We are shooting a film with Jackie Chan, and now we are looking for a double, a stand-in.”
A stand-in is someone who takes the actor’s place on set for lighting and other technical preparations. They needed someone like that. They said, “You are a good fit but the only issue is that you might be taller. How tall are you?” I said, “Well, I’m 180 cm.” They replied, “He’s 176, so just say you’re 177.” I said, “No problem, I’ll say I’m 177 and slouch a bit.” They laughed and that was it.
But later, I wasn’t just a stand-in. I was also Jackie Chan’s double in several scenes where I was filmed from behind instead of him. I doubled for him, and that footage is in the actual movie. So in some scenes, it’s not Jackie Chan, it’s me.
Did you meet the director or producers before signing up?
I distinctly remember that in February, they called me again for another meeting, and this time, the second director was there. He was American, and we spoke in English. I’m fluent in English, so we had a great conversation, made a couple of jokes with each other, and he said, “Alright, we’ll start filming on March 20th. Will you be available?” I said I would be available. He then said, “We’ll be filming from March 20th to about June 20th. Will you be available during that time?” I confirmed that I would be. And that was it. As we got closer to March 20th, they called me and told me where to be, and that’s how my work on the project began.
The second director also asked about my height, and I had already said I was 177 cm. So, I kind of lied, saying I was 177 or around 176 cm because Jackie Chan himself was 175 or 176 cm. I even remember wearing shoes with a very low heel that day—some sneakers, something like that, just to make sure I didn’t appear too tall.
Owen Wilson got a stand-in, too.
So, Owen Wilson had this double, a blonde guy. Actually, he wasn’t blonde originally; he dyed his hair blonde specifically to be a stand-in for Owen Wilson. He dyed his hair blonde for the role. He was a tall guy, around 190 cm, because Owen Wilson is also tall. I’m not entirely sure, but I think his name was Martin, though I can’t confirm that. Unfortunately, I don’t know his last name. We kept in touch for a while and even went to a party together in Prague, somewhere in the city centre. It was near the restaurant called Kozočka and also near Namesti Miru Square. There were clubs between those two places. I clearly remember we went to one of those clubs together. He was a great, fun guy, but sadly, I don’t have any contact with him anymore. There were no social networks at that time.
Besides him, there was also a female stand-in for the lead actress, a Chinese woman. This girl was either Cambodian or Vietnamese and half Czech. A young girl. Then there was another guy who was also a stand-in for one of the main characters. He was a huge guy, a bodybuilder, like Schwarzenegger—very big and also really kind. And there was another stand-in for Jackie Chan’s antagonist, who was also Asian. While we stayed for the entire project, this guy was only there for a couple of weeks. We all used to go to the club together, but unfortunately, I lost contact with them too, which is a shame.
How are stand-ins and doubles treated on film sets with this kind of budget?
As far as I remember, we were supervised by the second director, an American. And on the Czech side, we were also supervised by a second director who spoke Czech. He was Czech. People used to say he had worked for the secret services of Czechoslovakia during the socialist era or maybe even at that time, but I don’t remember exactly. He was an interesting man, very confident, and you could tell he was a man of experience. Overall, we were treated really well. I don’t remember anyone being rude to us, at least not to me. I was always very friendly with everyone, always smiling, greeting everyone, and making friends. I became really good friends with Jackie Chan’s stunt team—they were Chinese and Korean—and we played basketball all the time. I played well, and they were really impressed by that.
Playing basketball with the JCST would be a prime memory.
Who else did we work with… it’s hard to remember now. Ah, I also remember very clearly that we were always fed on set, and the food was just like in a restaurant. It was amazing. Then I remember Jackie Chan’s birthday! We were invited to a restaurant, and we celebrated there. I think it was in Karlovy Vary, on April 7th or maybe April 9th. We stayed in Karlovy Vary for two weeks in the best hotel in the city. It was incredible.
Okay, attending Jackie’s birthday party with the team is an even superior memory.
There was this one American producer, I think he had some kind of background—maybe African, Middle Eastern, I’m not sure. He was openly gay, it was totally normal there, no one hid it. He was very friendly with me and the other guy who was also a stand-in. When it was Jackie Chan’s birthday, he had a bit to drink—everyone did, really—and he came up to me and started asking if the other guy, the one I was also standing in with, was my boyfriend. So basically, he was trying to hit on me, wanting to maybe get closer to me. I didn’t really understand what he was trying to get at, so with a very open heart, I just said, “No, we’re not.” I replied, “No, we’re not gay; we like women.” The producer laughed, and we went our separate ways.
Later, I told this story to my American friend who also lived in Prague, and he started teasing me all the time, saying that for the sake of my film career, I should have pretended to be gay for a while and befriended this producer, and he could have helped me make it in Hollywood and turned me into a great Hollywood actor. I laughed it off at first, but then I thought, well, maybe that’s actually how many people, both men and women, build their careers in Hollywood. Of course, it’s a joke, but there might be some truth to it.
Well, a side of Hollywood has this cliché. Aside from that, this sounds like a normal party conversation in the early 2000s in Europe to me, very open-minded. What about chats with the stars of the movie, did you get the opportunity to talk to Jackie and Owen?
It was! Very open-minded and connective. Honestly, I only spoke with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson maybe a couple of times at most. I’d say Jackie wasn’t very talkative, not just with me or anyone else; he generally didn’t talk much to people. Owen Wilson didn’t talk much either. Honestly, right after shooting, after a take, Owen Wilson would immediately go back to his trailer. Jackie didn’t leave, though; he always stayed on set. In fact, he helped out, like if we were changing locations, he would actually pick up some things and carry them around. He helped the lighting crew and others.
And there was this one scene where they were sitting in a restaurant, and we were nearby, and he called me over and started asking where I was from. This was probably around halfway through, maybe around April. By then, we had been shooting for a while. He called me over and started asking my name, where I was from, and if Jackie Chan was popular in Kazakhstan. I told him, of course, he’s very popular. Many watch his movies, and I personally grew up on his Hong Kong films. I told him that we especially love his Hong Kong era of films in Kazakhstan. He laughed about that.
Jackie Chan is a world-known name, that’s for sure.
Then, well, he didn’t show any particular interest in Kazakhstan at that time. Now I know that he became friends with our Kazakhstan singer, Dimash Kudaibergen. Dimash is a very popular singer and has spent a lot of time in China, often performing there. He and Jackie Chan became very good friends. I don’t know if Jackie remembers that he also had a stand-in from Kazakhstan. Maybe he remembers, maybe he doesn’t.
Anyway, in the middle of our shooting, around April or May, I asked him if we could take a photo together. He said, “No, let’s do it towards the end of the project.” On the very last day of the project, after everything had wrapped up, I approached him in the evening to see if we could take that photo. He said, “Okay, let’s take a photo.” And that’s when we finally took a photo together. There’s just that one photo with him. That’s how it went.
How did you feel about Jackie’s famous stunt team?
As I mentioned, I became very good friends with the entire stunt team. I was constantly talking to them, and we played basketball together. These were Chinese and Korean athletes. There was one, a Korean stuntman, who looked a lot like Jackie Chan, but strangely, he was hardly used in the film. He was probably only involved once or twice throughout the entire movie, which seemed very odd. He always seemed to be in a bad mood. He was older than all the other stuntmen. We talked once, and he told me that his whole body was aching, he had many injuries, and he didn’t want to act or do anything anymore. He generally didn’t talk to anyone, and probably, that conversation was the first one he ever had with me. He complained that he was all battered up, with many injuries from sports and stunts. That’s what he shared with me.
Senior stuntmen are the key pillar for the team’s support on set.
I made good friends with everyone else, but unfortunately, I didn’t manage to keep contact with any of them on social media. I can’t remember their names, unfortunately. But they were great guys, real athletes, professionals.
I also talked to a woman who was essentially Jackie Chan’s assistant, sort of like the director of his team. We interacted occasionally, but she wasn’t very talkative either, very strict. I remember once that a friend of mine in Prague, who now lives in Hong Kong, had a friend who owned a Chinese restaurant—he was Chinese himself—and they wrote a letter in Chinese asking me to pass it on to Jackie Chan. It was an invitation for him to have lunch at this Chinese restaurant. They wanted to invite him, like the Chinese community wanted to treat Jackie Chan to a Chinese meal.
I felt awkward about passing this directly to Jackie Chan, so I gave it to his assistant. I don’t remember her exact title, but I handed it to her, and I don’t know what happened after that because they never showed up at the restaurant. They were invited, but they never came. Maybe they just weren’t interested, but from what I recall, whenever I talked to the Chinese, they always complained that outside of China, it’s impossible to get good Chinese food in restaurants abroad, they said it’s never tasty, that was a common complaint.
Maybe due to a tight schedule. Or the food on set was better, like you said. (laughs)
(laughs) Right! I also remember when Jackie’s son arrived.
Oh, you met Jaycee?
Yeah! I spoke with him a bit. He approached me, started speaking in Chinese [Mandarin], then I said I don’t speak it, and he asked, “Do you know Cantonese?” I replied, “I don’t know either Mandarin or Cantonese.” We talked a little in English. He was a smiley, cheerful guy with long hair, wrapped with a beautiful ribbon—it looked very striking, and I particularly noticed that. He was about 20 years old at the time, around my age, maybe slightly younger.
Just before he started his own career. He could have also been cast as his dad’s stand-in, they really look alike. Did Jaycee appear as an extra in some scenes?
No. Jaycee, he came, I think, just to visit his father, see the filming, and just to see Prague, because I only saw him on that one day. Then, I talked to an Australian guy who was also a stuntman and actor. He was quite short and, I believe, has passed away now.
Rest in power, Brad Allan!
He was incredibly skilled in martial arts. I had a brief conversation with him. Another interesting person I met was Aidan Gillen. It was the first time I had seen him in person, and I didn’t know any of his films at that time, but he looked very distinctive—like a true Brit with a lush head of hair and a beautiful suit. I only managed to say hello to him, just a simple greeting. He was quite an interesting character.
There was another actor I became good friends with. He’s often cast as a Jewish character from New York, with that New York Jewish accent. We talked quite a bit. He had a very small scene in the episode and mentioned that he also worked with Guy Ritchie. He’s often called upon for his accent. He was very talkative, a very interesting character, an older man.
So, you were shooting not just days but weeks for SHANGHAI KNIGHTS, right?
It became more and more. Another amazing event for me was the filming in a Czech city called České Budějovice. We stayed there for several days, with a hotel arranged for us and everything. The filming took place at a castle near the city, the Hluboká Castle. It’s a real medieval castle, absolutely breath-taking—a true masterpiece of architecture with massive walls and an authentic feel of history. The castle was just incredible. We filmed both inside the castle and outside, capturing its majestic beauty from all angles. I remember it well. We shot during the day, and if I recall correctly, we even filmed at night. The whole experience lasted one or two days, but it felt timeless.
As a fan and historian this is amazing to me because I particularly remember those scenes from Jackie’s scrapbook on his website. He, with the help of his dialogue coach Diana, wrote almost every day to his fans from his film sets.
What made it also unforgettable wasn’t just the filming, but the atmosphere. Imagine standing within those ancient stone walls, surrounded by history, as the night fell and the castle lit up under the moonlight. The air was thick with the echoes of centuries past, and it felt like we were part of something truly magical. It’s moments like that which make the world of cinema so special—where history and storytelling come together in such a remarkable setting.
The most memorable and vivid experience was when we found ourselves about 30–40 kilometres from Prague, where we constructed a replica of Stonehenge for the shoot. The setup was right in the middle of this vast, breath-taking field. As soon as we arrived, it felt like we had been transported to the English countryside. With the Stonehenge model towering over the landscape, the atmosphere was surreal—I could almost convince myself I was standing at the real site in England.
For the readers, we’re talking about a huge Hollywood production with a 50 million USD budget!
It was massive. The setting was so authentic and the moment so striking that it left a lasting impression on me. Standing there in the middle of that open field, with the sun casting long shadows over the stones, I felt completely immersed in the scene. It was more than just a shoot; it was a brief journey to another world. The experience was, in every sense, unforgettable—full of wonder, as if history and myth had come to life right before my eyes.
Did you visit the real Stonehenge after that?
Unfortunately, I have not yet had the chance to visit the United Kingdom again or any English-speaking country. Well, I managed to participate in some Hollywood projects, but, unfortunately, I have not had the chance to visit the USA myself.
Please describe to me how you perceived Jackie during the shoot.
Jackie Chan was incredibly polite and friendly with everyone, always greeting people warmly. He was also very hands-on during the shoot. Whenever we changed locations, he would carry equipment himself, helping out the lighting crew and others. We all noticed this, and naturally, we started helping too, even though it wasn’t part of our job. His attitude was contagious, and everyone around him, including his stunt team, followed his lead. He was truly a role model for his team.
At times, it went a bit over the top. There were days when Jackie had both day and night shoots, especially for fight scenes. Two separate crews were working, but he was the only actor in those scenes. I remember people saying that he wasn’t supposed to be shooting during the day since he had worked all night. But somehow, he must have negotiated with the director or insisted, saying, “No, no, I’ll do it, it’s fine, let’s keep going.” Yet, like anyone else, he still needed to get his 8–9 hours of sleep. So, he would literally just lie down on set and sleep. Whenever his scenes were up, someone would wake him, and he’d be back in action.
I remember hearing some grumbling from the Czech crew about this, wondering why he didn’t just cancel or rest when he could. Some were frustrated by it. But Jackie’s dedication was undeniable, even if it pushed the limits at times. Watching him work like that left a lasting impression on all of us—it was a lesson in discipline, but also in how far someone can go for their craft.
His work ethic is beyond human. He also likes to make gifts on set.
Unfortunately, as far as I remember, they didn’t give us any gifts, not to anyone in our group, sadly. You know, looking back, it’s a bit of a shame, because receiving something from such a legendary figure would have been a cherished keepsake. But alas, there were no mementos handed out. Nonetheless, the experience of working alongside someone like Jackie Chan was a gift in itself, something that remains priceless and unforgettable.
Oh, and by the way, during those particular scenes where Jackie would fall asleep, we were about 80 kilometres from Prague in a small Czech town. What was really fascinating was that they had built an entire little district, a marketplace to be exact. It was a 19th-century London market, perfectly recreated. The scene involved a chase, where Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan were running after a boy through this bustling marketplace.
It was just incredible. They constructed the entire market from the ground up specifically for the shoot. The scale of the production was beyond anything I had ever seen. It really felt like Hollywood had arrived—so much money, so many resources, and limitless possibilities. The attention to detail was mind-blowing. You could feel the sheer magnitude of the production, the craftsmanship, and the effort that went into every single aspect. It was in those moments that you truly grasp the power and magic of cinema at its highest level. An unforgettable experience that left you in awe of what could be created when imagination meets resources on such a grand scale.
That little boy, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, is now a big star himself.
Now, he’s one of the most popular actors of our time, and there’s even talk of him being the next James Bond. It’s incredible to think that the same kid running through that market, chased by Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, is now a serious contender for one of the most iconic roles in cinematic history. Life has a funny way of connecting the dots in ways you could never predict.
Since you mentioned “connecting the dots”: You know, I talked to Diana Weng about you.
Oh, really? I remember her. She shared our post on social media. She is a nice lady!
She is amazing. She gave you a lot of credit for your work on SHANGHAI KNIGHTS.
That’s amazing. Thank you very much, Diana. You know what I think I have some photos with her from the set in the Hluboká Castle, I will check later.
Did you also meet Donnie Yen?
Yes, we had scenes shot right in the heart of Prague, where we filmed on a barge. On set with us was Donnie Yen, who, of course, is a hugely popular actor with an incredible filmography. He’s a martial arts expert and an absolute master of his craft—one of the finest Chinese action stars.
There was a bit of a humorous detail that I still remember. Donnie, being a bit shorter in stature, was wearing shoes with pretty high heels—likely custom-made for him. It was slightly amusing to see, but honestly, it worked. Why not, right? It didn’t take away from his presence at all. He still carried himself with the grace and power of the martial arts legend that he is. Despite the quirky footwear, Donnie Yen’s talent and charisma were undeniable on set, and it was a true privilege to see him in action.
How influential was your work with Jackie and his team on this film for your own career?
After this film, my journey in the industry continued, both in the Czech Republic and later in Kazakhstan, where I took part in even more productions. The sheer amount of work I’ve done over the years is incredible, and looking back, it feels like a whirlwind of creativity and collaboration. From film sets to commercials and TV shows, I’ve been lucky to be constantly surrounded by talented people and great projects. It’s been a busy ride, but one full of unforgettable experiences!
The experience on SHANGHAI KNIGHTS didn’t exactly change my life, but it was certainly grand and truly unforgettable. Everything about it was amazing, but I never really bragged about it much. Sure, I posted a few photos on social media, but that was about it. I had a friend who told me I should be sharing this experience everywhere. He insisted that people in Kazakhstan should be inviting me for interviews because, like many other countries, Kazakhstan is absolutely crazy about Jackie Chan.
While the rest of the world fell in love with Jackie Chan through his Hollywood films, in places like the U.S., Kazakhstan had already adored him back when he was working alongside Bruce Lee, even in those tiny roles he played. And then, when he starred in Hong Kong films, it became something of a phenomenon. I remember watching those films in the 80s and 90s at least 20 times. Everyone had VHS tapes of young Jackie Chan, and we watched them over and over again. We were huge fans—obsessed, really.
Do you have a background in martial arts?
I personally was a massive fan. We all were. We took martial arts classes, Karate, Wushu, you name it. I was into all the flips, tricks, jumps, and acrobatics. I loved doing all of that. Sometimes people would even jokingly call me Jackie Chan because of it. So, it always felt like destiny that one day I’d meet him or somehow be connected to him. I had this feeling all the way back when I watched his Hong Kong films.
Later, in the late 90s, he started starring in Hollywood films, and when I heard there was a casting call for a project where Jackie Chan would be involved, I already knew I’d be in it. Actually, I first read about it in the news—before I was even invited to audition—and I just had this deep confidence that I would be working with him. I didn’t even need the official confirmation; I instinctively knew it was going to happen. That feeling, was so strong, like I had always known this moment would come.
Is there anything you’d like to add?
I have to mention how I managed to make some extra money during the filming of the movie. We were shooting—somewhere, maybe in Prague or another location—and during one of my days off, I got invited to a casting. It was for Eurotel, which at the time was a big deal. Eurotel was the top telecom company in the Czech Republic, the most expensive and prestigious operator.
What made it even more special was that it was the year 2002, and they were looking for models—something totally new for the Czech market. Why? Because they had never featured Asians or Black models in major advertising campaigns before. This was around April or May 2002. And to my surprise, they contacted me saying I got the job! But here’s the thing: I was already filming every day with Jackie Chan, except for Saturdays and Sundays, and I didn’t want to risk losing that job because it paid well, about $2,000 for three days of work.
So, I had to get creative. I told the film crew I was sick, knowing they’d understand since I had always been reliable and never let them down before. Meanwhile, I went off with a clear conscience to shoot for Eurotel. We filmed both in the city and outside of town. It was an incredible experience, such a cool company to work with. The director was German, and everything was done in such a stylish and professional way.
Did you get in trouble afterwards?
No. Before I knew it, I was everywhere—billboards across the Czech Republic, magazines, you name it. The photos were stunning, the production was top-notch, and I ended up making that extra $2,000 without losing my gig with Jackie Chan! It was such a win-win situation, and to this day, I look back at that experience with pride. It was an amazing opportunity to be part of something ground-breaking for the Czech market, and it added another unforgettable chapter to that period of my life.
One of the most impressive moments I’ll never forget happened at Barrandov Studios in Prague. Barrandov is a legendary film studio, known for its high-quality productions, and this experience really showed me why. They had built a stunning, life-sized replica of Big Ben, right there on a hill. Not the entire tower, but the clock face and the internal mechanisms. It was an absolute masterpiece—a true work of art. The level of craftsmanship was mind-blowing.
This setup was for the final fight scene in the movie, an epic battle between Aidan Gillen, Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, and I believe Donnie Yen was also involved. The entire fight took place inside the clock structure, and being there, witnessing it all, felt surreal. The detail was so impeccable that I truly felt like I had been transported to the heart of London, standing inside the actual Big Ben.
Incredible.
What made it even more special is that as a tourist, you’d never get a chance to actually go inside Big Ben and see the inner workings of the clock. Yet there I was, right in the middle of it, even if it was just a replica. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s hard to put into words.
Are you currently working as an actor again?
I even starred in a film, in one of the main roles in Kazakh films, called REKETIR-3, the third part, which is a quite popular saga about gangsters. I am also sometimes invited for interviews, I run my blog and social media. So, guys, enjoy my content.
Ramazan, it has been my pleasure talking to you about this amazing journey of yours!
Oh, thank you, too! You know, the only regret I have is that it was the early 2000s, and smartphones didn’t exist yet. I couldn’t capture video or take proper photos of the experience. I did manage to sneak a few photos with a small film camera I had, but I had to be discreet because we weren’t really allowed to take pictures, and getting caught could have meant being kicked off set. Still, having those few secret snapshots of such an incredible experience is something I treasure to this day and now I want to share them with your readers. It felt like stepping into another world, and it was nothing short of breath-taking.
Sharing your stories and these rare snapshots from over 20 years ago is highly appreciated by the Jackie Chan fans worldwide. So, thanks again. All the best to you!
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to recall those 90 days of filming with Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Aidan Gillen, and other actors. It was truly an amazing experience, and I had completely forgotten about it. And now I’m trying to promote myself, running my own blog on TikTok, on Instagram, and trying to popularize myself as an actor.
I somehow was embarrassed for a long time when I talked about my experiences on SHANGHAI KNIGHTS. There were people who were maybe jealous or just didn’t want to hear it, I don’t know. It’s over 20 years ago. Thanks to you I remembered a lot from my life, back in those days when I was quite young, and it really is a rich experience, many people, millions of people cannot boast of such an experience.
So thank you for this experience, for bringing me to this interview, and for asking very interesting questions, thank you very much.
