Jackie Chan is making the rounds on the talk show circuit for his upcoming movie “The Spy Next Door” (You can get free swag here) and lands on both Ellen & Conan. (BTW – He virtually says nothing about the movie in his interviews.) He really wants to shift away from his action star/ martial arts image. On Ellen, he showed how hard it is for him to call 411 (we didn’t really like that segment), but he also showed his singing skills. Over at Conan, he tells an entertaining story from his past, show his romantic side, demonstrates Conan the drunken style fighting.
Hollywood has typecast him already. It’s going to be hard to change that, but props for him trying to remake himself. As he gets older, doing his choreography and stunts will be harder. Jackie realizes this as he’s dabbling in clothing lines, singing, “I Am Jackie Chan” musical. Who knows we may see him in a romantic comedy.
