Washington
(ANI):
Action
hero
Jackie
Chan
has
opened
a
science
education
centre
at
an
Australian
cancer
research
clinic,
as
a
tribute
to
his
late
parents.
The
Rush
Hour
star's
father
Charlie,
who
died
of
prostate
cancer
in
a
Hong
Kong
hospital
last
month,
spent
over
40
years
of
his
life
in
Australia.
The
actor
joined
Australian
Prime
Minister
Kevin
Rudd
on
Sunday
to
officially
open
the
Jackie
Chan
Science
Centre
at
the
Australian
National
University.
"My
father
passed
away
last
week.
So
it
is
about
time
I
did
something
for
Canberra
to
remember
my
parents.
I
really
thank
you
Australia
and
Canberra
for
taking
care
of
my
parents
for
46
years," Contactmusic
quoted
Chan
as
saying.
Officials
at
the
Australian
National
University
refused
to
disclose
how
much
donation
they
received
from
Chan.
A
spokesman
for
the
university,
however,
said
that
the
monetary
gift
was
"substantial".
