Jackie Chan Reacts to Turning 70
Chan turned 70 years old on April 70. After hitting a milestone age, Chan says that even though 70 has become his new reality, at times he is still in disbelief.
“Every time I hear this number, my heart would stop for a second — I’m 70 years old already?” he said.
“After recovering from the shock, the second thing that would come to my mind is a saying that my big brother, Sammo Hung once said: ‘Being able to grow old is a fortunate thing.’ Especially for us stunt people; we don’t know how lucky we are to be able to grow old.”
Dave Chapelle Reacts to Oscars Slap
At the 2022 Oscar Awards Will Smith smacked host Chris Rock after he made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. It ended up being one of the most viral moments in social media history. It was such a shocking moment that comedian Dave Chapelle thought it was fake.
“Chris got slapped in the face at the Oscars…by Will Smith which was one of the craziest things I have ever seen. In fact, if you watch it live on television like I did when it happened, I thought it was fake. I did, and I wasn’t sure,” he said.
“And I thought it was fake. I didn’t know. So I asked. I go, ‘Well, you know.’ He said, ‘What?’ I said ‘Did it hurt?’ He said, ‘Yes, n***a, it hurt.’ And then I knew it was real.”
