Jackie Chan Nearly Drowned On The Set Of His New Film; Had Gone Missing Underwater For 45 Secs
The accident left director Stanley Tong Left in tears.
Martial arts superstar Jackie Chan’s name has become synonymous with exciting action sequences and death-defying stunts, with the actor coming thisclose to knocking on heaven’s door countless times throughout the course of his career. And it looks like his guardian — or should we say vanguardian — angel is still working overtime after all these years.
Recently, the 66-year-old gave an interview to promote his new film Vanguard, which is finally opening in cinemas after being pushed back by the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year, and revealed a terrifying anecdote from when they were filming a chase sequence out at sea.
“It was a very ordinary scene, but I almost drowned,” said Jackie. Yikes.
