Jackie Chan gives up death-defying stunts

Melbourne (ANI): Jackie Chan has confessed he would not continue with his signature death-defying stunts in future films. The 55-year-old Hong Kong actor, known for his martial arts, said he was getting too old for the kung fu kicks and suffered constant pain.

"A lot. My shoulder, my arms . . ." He points at his groin: "Here. All the joints really hurt . . . you don't know! My back!", the Herald Sun reported. Chan further revealed falling the wrong way during the making of Police Story was his most painful stunt ever.

He recalled: "I thought 'I'm dying' . . . I thought my backbone had gone through my heart. There was all this blood coming out. That hurt but I wasn't dying."
