Jackie Chan is actually a classically trained opera singer
(Worldkings) We all know Jackie Chan is the fearless kung fu fighter who doesn’t think twice about catapulting himself off a balcony, electrocuting himself on some lights and then smashing into a pane of glass.He, like, does that basically all the time. But what if I told you the classic action star had a more sensitive side that doesn’t involve kneeing henchmen in the face?
In the Cantonese language version of Mulan, Jackie was the voice of Captain Li Shang and sang “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You”.
>in over five different languages
So, six?
He’s also a giant shill and apologist for the communist party that commits genocide and torture on a daily basis….
In 2011 Jackie chan said he would give half his inheritance to charity because his son would waste it on drugs.
He’s trained in *Chinese* opera. Which isn’t remotely the same thing as *Western* opera.
Chinese opera more like the kind of stage show you’d see in Vegas, with fabulous costumes, athletic displays and, yes, sometimes even singing.
Western opera is what people think of when they think of ‘trained opera singer’ and involves extremely precise vocal control that takes years to master and an exceptional innate talent.
So Jackie Chan is more like Taylor Swift – he has the kind of decent voice anyone can achieve with some effort. It’s not like either are going to be belting out Queen of Night without sounding atrocious any time soon.
Too bad he is a CCP bootlicker now. Lost lots of respect for him.
Now he’s a red canary signing for the Chinese government.
and all we remember him for is his butchering of War in Rush Hour with Chris Tucker.
Loved his cover of War (what is it good for) by Edwin Starr.
