Jackie
Chan
nearly
lost
his
life
when
he
was
shooting
for
his
latest
film,
Vanguard.
Chan
was
filming
a
jet-ski
scene,
when
he
got
trapped
in
the
rocks
and
almost
drowned.
The
director
of
the
movie,
Stanley
Tong
was
reportedly
in
tears
after
the
incident.
Chinese
media
reported
the
incident
on
Sunday,
December
22.
While
interacting
with
the
press
in
Beijing,
Jackie
Chan
shared
details
of
the
incident.
He
found
himself
trapped
under
a
rock
but
could
not
free
himself.
He
said
that
he
willed
himself
to
stay
calm,
and
not
panic.
He
further
revealed
that
the
enormity
of
the
incident
did
not
hit
him
until
later
that
night.
"I
suddenly
felt
really
scared
and
my
body
started
shaking.
I
could
have
so
easily
died,"
he
said.
Director
Tong
said
that
he
feared
the
worst
when
he
realized
what
was
happening.
The
Vanguard
crew
were
quick
on
their
feet
and
were
able
to
rescue
Chan
in
the
nick
of
time.
Tong
burst
into
tears
when
he
saw
Chan
emerge
from
the
water.
At
the
press
conference,
Chan
admitted
that
Tong
is
a
hard
taskmaster,
who
is
always
attempting
to
push
boundaries.
This
is
not
the
first
time
Jackie
Chan's
safety
has
been
put
to
risk
in
movies.
Chan
has
suffered
numerous
injuries,
while
performing
heart-stopping
stunts.
He
has
always
refused
to
use
body
doubles
to
perform
his
action.
