Action superstar Jackie Chan

There is no doubt Jackie Chan is the most popular Chinese action star in Hollywood after Bruce Lee. He has worked with Hollywood 10 times and his films include the Rush Hour series and The Spy Next Door with total earnings amounting to US$953 million at the box office in North America and $1.7 billion worldwide. Chan was invited as a presenter with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a US basketball star who is 218cm tall, at the 68th Oscars. The big height gap created a comedic effect with great entertainment value.
