Jackie Chan Is So Loved, Even French Police Officers On Duty Want A Picture With Him
He turned burly policemen into fanboys.
Say what you want about Jackie Chan’s aging looks but the Hong Kong action star is still one of the most recognisable men in the world.
In fact, the 70-year-old movie legend is so iconic, he even made fanboys out of a couple of French police officers.
The 70-year-old actor was in Paris as one of the torchbearers for the opening of the Paralympics last Wednesday (Aug 28).
The actor last served as a torchbearer in 2008 ahead of the Beijing Games.
Videos posted to social media showed Jackie accepting picture requests from two police officers on duty who stopped the star for a photo.
Netizens in the comments said it looked like Jackie was the most down-to-earth celeb they have come across and was seen “taking photos with fans all day and night” with anyone that asked.
A fan even wrote that it looked like “Police Story becoming a reality” referring to the iconic film that has spawned three sequels, one spin-off, and two reboots.
Jackie also drew cheering fans wearing T-shirts with his name as he carried the Olympic flame from the Champ-Elysees to the Place de la Concorde.
There were even some who were seen waving banners with the words “Kung Fu Legend” during the procession.
