Jackie Chan is known to have a son, but he also has an estranged daughter. Her name is Etta Ng Chok Lam who was born after Chan had an affair with beauty queen Elaine Ng Yi-lei.
In 2015, Chan said he’d apologized to his wife and son for the affair and after that it was ‘never mentioned again’.
Etta has said that Jackie Chan has ‘never existed in my life’ and that she will ‘never regard him as a father’.
Chan has another child, son Jaycee, and in the actor’s memoir book Never Grow Up he admitted to once throwing his son across a room when the boy was a two-year-old.
He wrote: “When he was two years old I threw him.”I picked him up with one hand and flung him across the room, and he crashed into the sofa. With the amount of force I used, if he’d hit the back or armrests, it could have been quite serious.
“The actor wrote that he ‘immediately’ regretted throwing his son across the room and claimed he promised never to hit him again.
In the book, published in 2015, Chan says he ‘never threw him again or hit him’ but wrote that Jaycee was always alert when he wasn’t in a good mood, writing that his son ‘still gets frightened whenever he hears me give him an order’.
The actor, estimated to be worth around $400 million, has made it clear in his book that his son won’t be inheriting any of it, writing: “If he is capable, he can make his own money. If he is not, then he will just be wasting mine.”
Chan wrote of a time when he and his son were booked onto a flight, with the actor booking himself into first class and his son into economy before telling the boy ‘you have no money, so you sit here’.
His son was able to convince cabin crew to upgrade him to a first class seat.
Jaycee was arrested in 2014 for possessing marijuana and spent six months in jail.
