not like he has made a legit action movie in forever, anyway. action films should be left to the young who can still actually, you know, do action.

I want the audience to know I am not just about fighting. I can also act.'

The screen legend said he wanted to take on more serious roles and emulate the success of Robert De Niro.

.... oh dear

Looks like he wants to end his acting career in general.

hes been getting older and yea, he hasn't been able to do the same kind of stunts in a long time anyway so this is kinda expected

I really need to watch his old movies. Those AVGN videos about his stunts and fights are super special awesome.

Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world!

Sad to hear, but I'm not surprised. Jackie Chan movie bloopers are so amazing. I'm going to miss those most of all.

Watch Police Story, where he literally killed himself for a few seconds falling through some glass

He has to be insanely healthy, but at 58 he's "very tired"

time is cruel.

I admire his mentality regarding violence though, I really do. I know how cheesy that sounds but f*** it, that's how I feel. I love martial arts as well. I mean, I'll never be a fiftieth the legend Jackie Chan is but I do really enjoy them. I love fighting... whole nine yards. But violence for the sake of seeing raw violence doesn't interest me either.

Plus, he's 58. Like he said, he's really tired. And wanting to be another De Niro of sorts is no small dream, even for Chan. I look forward to seeing if he can do it.

He probably is pretty healthy, but he's also broken so many bones and almost died a couple times doing stunts that I can't really blame him for feeling tired. I mean if i recall he's broken his ribs a couple times, his ankles, his neck, his hips and even fractured his skull once. It's actually pretty amazing he's walking around seemingly just fine when you think about it.
