Introduction
Attention Getter: Everyone loves a good martial arts movie, and I’m no exception, so when I was on my computer in 2012 and came across an article stating that Jackie Chan was retiring from action movies, I was devastated.
Reveal Topic: Jackie Chan is a huge icon in today’s society. Show anyone a picture of him, and they’ll identify him on the spot.
Credibility/Relevance: So it turns out the articles were based on a public statement he made publicizing his new film “Chinese Zodiac,” and what he actually meant was that he was going to cut back on the amount of stunts he does, not completely stop all together. He stated, “I don 't just want to be an action star, I want to be a true actor. I want to get rid of my image ... I want the audience to know I 'm not only a comedian. I can act. Day by day, year by year, I 'm going to show you the real Jackie Chan." The article got me wondering, “Who is the real Jackie Chan? What happened throughout his life and how he got to where he was?” So from what I learned back then, as well as what I researched over the past two weeks, I’m going to be answering these questions and more.
Preview of Main Points: My first and main point is going to be about his acting
