Jackie Chan has opened up about cheating on his wife in his memoir Never Grow Up.
The Rush Hour star acknowledges how he was unfaithful to his wife, Joan Lin, with 1990 Miss Asia, Elaine Ng Yi Lei – an affair which resulted in Jackie’s daughter Etta.
In 1999, I made a serious mistake. When the news broke about an affair I’d had that resulted in a child, the media frenzy was like a bomb going off…I wanted to phone Joan but I didn’t know what to say. I wouldn’t be able to explain this,” he wrote, revealing how guilty he felt and how Lin, who he married in 1982, stuck by him.
“She is a strong woman, stronger than I am in many ways,” he added.
