CNN: Jackie Chan 'Do it while you're young'

[veryjellybelly]

Yes Sir Jackie Chan..I have to agree with you. I've learned a lot of things when I was younger. Even now, medicine course hasn't stopped me from exploring the world=) I realized that I won't have the pleasure and time to do stuff once I get my medical license. So World, are you ready for me?!

[majafaja999]

of course things are easier to do when you are younger, but remember, it's more the will and determination that is important in determining whether you succeed, regardless of the age

[Trina69]

39 dislikes are old people that never did anything while they were young...

[dirpraak]

Thanks for posting this,I learnt a lot through Jackie's words.

[shortway444]

10 through 20?!?!

WHAT??! I AM NINETEEN! D: NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ALEXAMify]

remember my words people this man is a legend and everybody will understand that when he will die lie bruce lee...legend and respect 4 ever...

[TheWinterNights]

Oh boy. How I wish my chinese would be half as good as his english. Not to mention his age and his martial art skills. Good that he "made it", because he is an inspiration.

[omid145]

DAVID CAMERON FROM PERU? IS THE PM TAKING ANOTHER HOLIDAY?

[Ytubeisonline]

David cameron from peru , like thats not a fake name :P

[jordanderhh]

this video moved me

[ninjacatmagic]

If it weren't for Jackie Chan.....I wouldn't be a 37 year old kid who pretends to be a ninja.... :)

[bigfatdick5000]

Jackie's life shows you : he is just like everyone of us, if you work hard enough with  perseverance, determination, and courage and a good spirit you can become somebody like Jackie Chan. yet many just overlooked these simple facts in life.

[bigfatdick5000]

MY ROLE MODEL AND INSPIRATION : JACKIE CHAN.

[1XMarksSpot]

"Do it while you're young"

That's can be misleading LOL

[LiquidCzech]

This clip is a big motivation for me

Thank you Jackie, thank you CNN

[mario68079]

"i am autographed... autograph... huh?... choreographed"

[veryjellybelly]

@mario68079 it was cute though..

[highway247]

Jackie Chan..... Super Respect man!! :-)

[cyberhmoob]

Man I gotta say he's 100% right. It's totally smart to do the things you love NOW and wear whatever you want because when you get older, no longer will you have the energy, the looks or the time:( damn.

[TheKim7878]

EU AMO JACKI CHAN,VC É O MAXIMO

[MajorKusanagiGITS]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seokjin49]

Jackie, You are my hero forever. People usually tend not to do the things that the people who are watching you don't like. We want to do the things that people like. In the very beginning, many people would have not liked his humorous style when he was not famous, but he did not give up. He held his own style for 50 years. He never gave up. And now, WE ALL LOVE HIM AND HONOR HIM. You are all of us's roll model. We will never ever be able to forget you in our life Jackie.

[Reborn923]

woman- Jackie we've got some question for you that were sent in by viewers from your *watever she said,icouldnt hear it*what to u is ur most important acheivement in life and what keeps u so positive

Jackie-huh?

gotta love him

[aj26062]

i guess that means its over for older people. dammit.

[1977hero]

if he heads on with bruce lee he will take out his friendly hand and kill him with a smile...

[1977hero]

its never too late... thanks jackie

[therealJodan]

Its asians like Jackie Chan; hardcore, hardworking, real and just down-to-earth folks who have birthed the generation of super-talented asian kids we see today.. Heaven really helps those who helps themselves.. MUCH RESPECT TO HIM and the other unannounced ones like him!!

[bornwisedistruction]

We still Love you Jackie!

[Dragon3435]

His advice is like every old chinese man have told me do all the things while your young to be successful because they will pay off when you get older. If you don't do them in your early age and when you look back and wish you could have done it differently then its already too late. He was referring to be successful in life not just martial arts.

[egdqv13234]

Jackie is amazing luv his films since my 7 age)))

[AmreinMarie]

I love this men. Best Kung Fu master!

[Gabriel6246]

Jackie Chan, one of the greatest persons of the World, the best Martial Artist(after Bruce Lee), and such a great actor. I love you Jackie. KEEP ROCKIN'!!!!

[MrProdigalKnight]

he's like the real-life yoda

[peacfulkitty]

@MrProdigalKnight he might tell you he wanna be obiwan instead lol

[condorsd]

pero jet li vuela que da miedo

[bujinnineko]

no regrets! i remember his movie where he was hanging off a rope ladder from an enemy helicopter swinging inbetween buildings...that was cool. and when he ran down the side of a glass building. crazy stunts..

[8menz]

39 people are Jet Li fans

[cuterim]

wow:o much respect much respect! he is such a great Person

[MrPERSIAN110]

i love you man

[bigfatdick5000]

Jackie Chan is such an inspiration for the younger people of the world, not only Asia.

There are 39 universal haters who's going nowhere in their life.

[GusCraigengower]

lol when i saw the title do it when you're young, i honesty thought jackie chan was gonna lecture on having sex while you're still young ROFLMAO....nah just kidding, but it was the first thing that came to mind xDD

[AlexRMX]

wow didn't know he could be so deep. good advice. people don't take him seriously in the states and that's a shame because he has alot more to offer than comedic-kung-fu

[TheXshadowzz]

@strpker77

Bullshit.

[H4I2I2EE]

I guess he is trying to say

"no better time than the present"

[grafkevin]

no i don't think so... listen what he is saying in the end.

[ObsidianNinjaX]

ive been at it since 8 with Karate, and learned more over the years, at 22, have 5 under my belt

[RGScentral]

Better start now, because tomorrow might be too late. Thx Jackie!

[RamMoneyman252]

I agree with jackie on that one. I started my martial arts training at about 10 years old and have kept training off and on ever since. Always been a fan of chan and always will be! Good Advice! Thanks jackie

[kebbabhouseowner]

how old r u now?

[VanDamme11]

Great Advice from a master do while your young I am 29 and I been training in martial arts since I was 7 I also do tricking and the parkour/freerunning Jackie is one of the guys who inspire me along with Bruce and Others to acheive your goals man Jackie is almost 60 still fast and in shape he has not let himself go give me confidence that I can to that if I still have the passion and desire and keep myself in shape so when I reach 60 god willing that I still can do things when I was 18 amazing

[seattle0002]

I agree... BUT a lot of of the stupid shit we do when we're young, we pay for later in life. For example, all his injuries will keep him in PAIN throughout his later years. He'll either have to be on drugs or just deal with the pain. So I would say, yes do it when you're young... but don't destroy your body so you can be in pain when you're older... blown knees, bad back, etc.. etc. I intend to only get stronger and healthier as I age, because I'm thinking ahead.

[Jaforrest88]

he doesn't seem to be in pain. Look at that smile!

[Gunandstrikes]

i agree with jackie's statement about learning while you are young man, but i disagree about his words "after ten years it too much late"..in reality, you can do martial arts with quality untill 42 old years because there is a normal development of ability and talent...and after this age there are difficulties because of this age's problems, and then in 52 it will normalised...and you can progress again.

[simson99w]

"Do it while you're young" Agree~~!!

Support Jackie Chan forever~

[billybobby800]

wise words....wise words.....im gonna go do my homework now.....best fathe rfigure ever!

[messengerofmail121]

he's Damn right about that when i was young too i use to practice a lot judo at the age of 6-9 and when i was 23 Karate stick fighting now i'm weak my right arm is injured i cant do no more heavy work i'm defeated

[TheChosenNerios]

wangchi8 u're right :P he is one of the best actors i've ever seen, because he do all stunts and somethin alone !!! Thats expressive

[Jpop11]

u mean impressive?

[wangchi8]

Jackie is so cool! I cant belive someday he will stop filming! He is the man!

[darkstar0709]

I dont understand how his English is still that bad

[blueiceflames]

Try learning new language. LoL accent is the hardest to learn and unlearn. My ear/mind is good. So i can understand him easly.

[mocthezuma]

How's your Mandarin? or Cantonese?

[equinox2244]

Jackie is far from your standard actor. This guy is always working like nuclear reactor! He directs, edits, produces etc etc and does all his own action sequences. When hes not making movies hes doing charity- buildings schools, making appearences all around the world. Yeah his English is not perfect but I think hes accomplished alot and speaks from the heart so I respect that!

[tharbk01]

lol dont matter, its good for comedic effect, and his main concerns are his chinese fan base...he has said he doesnt really like his american movies.

[TheDrunkenCelt]

He's treated like a joke over here so I can see why, its a shame too cause he's a good actor.

[simazhongda]

Do it while you still can for you might not get a second chance.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

wish i could do all the things i want but im already 22 & even now i dont have the money to do anything. and ive been spending my whole life poor trying to say alive tring to find money to live even at age 10

when & how would i ever get to do anything else. or i do it just to find my self homeless on the street when its over. if everything fun and interesting didnt cost money more ppl would do what they want. some of us on earth just never will cause we too busy making sure we can eat tomorrow

[myname89yearsago]

well Jackie got to do the things he wanted because hes not from a capitalist system. the state trained him for his career since he was a kid. not saying that capitalism isn't bad but in communism, if your good at something. your career will most likely be that talent

[chatanwarrior]

i know how you feel man im broke as hell

[KeoniKaleAkao]

join the army, or go steal lol

[alpacino1940]

Jackie Chan Is One Of My Heros , He's Just Great At What He Dose And He Gives Great Advice . And He Is Also Very Funny .

[chefawkes]

fuck. im already 21!! feel like i wasted my life! nooooo.

[NighTWolvE777]

jackie chan is awesome he gives really good advice ever since i saw rush hour i wanted to learn martial arts butr my parents wont let me but ill still find a way

[ilieshu]

great man !! respect from me

[grooveministry]

LOL @2:01

[volure1]

martaial art and jackie chan is also a good singer

[Tripp426]

He really takes time to think about his answers which is good. It shows his wisdom.

[BluIz610]

Jackie Chan is my hero and inspiration! He's just an inspirational guy that shows glory from all the hard work and blood, sweat, and tears from never giving up!

[georgeodance1993]

Jackie Chan is my hero

[WaRRLoCKK1]

thats some good advice right there. generally you want to learn things at a young age as you get familiar with them as you get older.

[xTheFalconx]

Jackie Chan is my favorite Martial Arts master ^^ He's got humor XD

[coco1774]

Jackie Chan has a cute daughter, about 5 years old now.

[TaintTheAbyss]

hott

[brianthao102]

No he has a son already, hes in his twenties,

Jaycee Chan

[Cupcake4me]

Yep, think shes older though.....illegitamate one with that Miss HK contestant. He has a son too, who looks like Jackie sooo bad.

[hsiaofhong]

what a great guy!

[boliboy2299]

wrong advice, do anything you want at any age even if you get hurt

[Johnf85]

your right. if your 65 you should start cage fighting with prime 27 year olds haha

[just1myself]

the best! thank you Jackie! 5+

[imarblooper]

Jackie Chans the best. His movies are awsome. =D  d^-^b

[XowntXihqX]

hahaha he always makes me smile

[jessejamesparra]

maybe im wrong but i think he should live forever be inmortal

[rahya2008]

i have huge respect for this man. How someone be nice and humble, yet be soo powerful at the same time?! he's amazing..he's deserving of all the blessings that comes his way...hats off to you jackie!!

[NEMESIS1999]

I respect him also,he is a great person,warm hearted smiling person.

[TROSKYification]

@rahya2008 i think people like jackie chan and let li are humbble because they suffer a lot and they learn a good philosophy of life and they are greatful with they have become and got.

[dragonrasp]

Jackie is #1.

Please bear in mind he only learned English fairly recently, to use words like "Choreographed" is very impressive. Chinese and English are VERY different. He is incredibly intelligent to speak so well in such a short time.

[kivvona]

i respect him a great deal. he's realistic and sensible. very down-to-earth.

[Papapower12]

he was stuttering a lot in the interview lol

[strongblackman]

i um um um um um um i like drunken master movie he owns

[vunit17]

Jackie is the Best Martizl artist out there plus he makes me laugh lol

[ApesHaveNoTails]

my number one movie martial artist!

[JSM565]

jackie is the best

[gixxerich]

Absolute Legend.

[2SeXi4y0u]

[MeesterWong18]

[lyncholic]

jacki chan is really good role model

[toimisto]

true

[JAMministryProject]

Jackie Chan and Jet Li have great philosophies

[Kaevar]

He's one of those people whom you just can't dislike, like Bobby McFerrin.

And I'm always worried when a new movie's out :P

[yayofitz]

Just ''Do It'' Ben Stiller Style Man Lol J/K

[NAMELESSWARRi0R]

im really feelin his words, hes still my favourite actor.

[TrEvOrLe55555]

jackie chan is awesome...

and america loves him;... he lied

[iscr34m]

i think what he meant was that he can't do stunts his own way cause of some of the american producers' opinions... you know, even if jackie can do this or that, they still decide how things will turn out in the movie...

[boogermooger545]

LMFAO? how did he not make it in America EVERYBODY loves Jackie Chan hes imense :D!!!!

[timidous]

Jacky is the best

[2NDFlight]

Rumble in the Broxs is what started me to a path to Jackie Chan movies..... Drunken Master is where I began to believe.

[Romamgl]

He is not just a great actor or martial artist but HE is really a great man and idol. American show wrong things to children

[awsomo132]

jackie chan and bruce lee are both very wise

They will be LEGENDS FOREVER!

[AlphaXQ]

words of true wisdom :D

[gahan101]

Jackie has the wisdom of those who have lived and seen.Don't regret anything in your life,don't miss a chance to do whatever you want to do.Live it and leave this world with no reget :°)

[hoaithanh80]

cannot agree with you more mate. That's also a line of wisdom from you

[AlphaXQ]

[tlalslhla]

[iliasemmanuil]

[severebrutalized]

Classy guy right here. True legend

[AdamKerow]

he is right you know what ever you want to do do it when you're young because thats when you have the chance!

[oOMarsmannOo]

Jackie Chan my Kungfu hero. It's good to see him again. The last time I saw him in an interview with CNN was back in 1996(i think). He was wearing a yellow shirt. I believe the interviewer was chinese/american. Brilliant stuff.

[phuongness]

"Do it when you're young"

Yesssssssss

[ProblmSolvd]

what are you emplying by "it"

[stepover12]

not the most eloquent, but he's one awesome dude

[teahupoo35]

jackie doesnt to his own stunts anymore,hasnt for at least 10years.i remember watching mr nice guy being filmed in melbourne and he had a stand in to do some tricky stuff....i was shocked growing up a huge chan fan.the image is everthing though cheers

[SHP8]

david cameron?rofl

[gabrielf19]

jackie chan is the man!

[sportsinger]

y he look so old

for the olympics he looks young

[maamed]

hesin his 50s hes 59

[karl63830]

jackie is 54 years old...he's the same age as my grand mother......as well as the same birthday....he turns 55 this year.....and yet...he still does he's own stunts...is that a good thing?

[Terra70]

My dad is 51.

[ch3rryl3m0nn]

i totally agree with him.

but..

today,normal people cant chose their own style,life doesnt let them...

[Itsooz]

They can't cause they have they same attitude as you. Why d'you think there's so many rich guys, who have started as random trash in the streets? 'Cause the've played by their own rules. There's no such thing as luck. Luck is when a determination and a good preparation meet an opportunity. Success in society is not about numbers and figures, but what's in your head. Ask any psychologist or sociologist. Unfortunately there's so many losers saying "normal people cant chose...life doesnt let them"

[1freddytorres]

I agree with itsooz. It all how u view life. I've bunjii jumped, sky dived, ran marathons, i'm an artist, and soon-to-be film director.....and maybe win the nobel peace prize...(I havn't made that official yet...hehe.) Its all how u balance time and money. Don't blame LIFE, ch3rryl3m0nn. Blame yourself for limiting your true potential. Its never to late. Make the right choices.....and jackie chan IS a normal person...he just makes great choices on were he wants his life to go.

[JoniiG]

"do the jackie chen style~"

hah~

[MarQu3]

LOL!!... "Uh?!"

[free2smile123]

you referring to that part that jackie used the wrong word "autograph" instead of "choreograph"? lol. that was funny

[alvispalmis]

jackie chan is awesome

[orfeotheguitarkiller]

Do it when you are Young!!!! Yeah!!

[ThisIsDream]

Why the American have such a narrow mind to accept the others>? Both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan sure suffered alot.

[Ichirou88]

Hey.....Jackie is right...while we're young lets live life to the fulliest

[Hang10Ben]

mna jackie chan is awesome! i cant believe hes old..hes a legend!

[TheWinterNights]

Thanks

[Sachseguy07]

i freakin love jackie.

[princesstamika]
