Cannes, France – Jackie Chan is landing his last punch as an action star, but sayshe is stepping into retirement having made one of the mostimportant films of his career. The Hong Kong actor told the AP on Friday that his latest film"Chinese Zodiac" will be his last action movie. Chan, launching the movie at the Cannes Film Festival with co-starsKwone Sang Woo, Yao Xingtong and Liao Fan, said that people don'tbelieve him when he says he is going to retire. "They say 'no, you're still young, you can still do it,' but I haveto stop one day." The 58-year-old says he is bowing out with "Chinese Zodiac" —in which he plays a fortune hunter, travelling the world trying totrack down missing astrological antiques — because it is oneof the "most important" films in his career. Chan says he spent seven years working on the movie —writing, producing, directing and coordinating fight scenes. "For the last ten years I've been choosing the director to directme. This one I direct myself." he said. "I hope this movie, 20years later, people still remember it. For me, for the audience,for my future, for my history — it's very important." Chan says "Chinese Zodiac," and the many films before it, havetaken their toll on his body. "It hurts, it really hurts," he says, flinching. "The shoulder, theankle, it really hurts. You don't know because I still lookhealthy." Not that he plans on putting his feet up — Chan shrugs offsuggestions of taking up gardening, cooking or bowling in his sparetime. He wants to work on his acting muscles instead. "When I look at Hollywood, at Robert De Niro, he can do anything— comedy, drama," he says. "Clint Eastwood — 60-70 years old, he can still move. I saidyes, that's my goal. Because action stars' life is so short.Actor's life is very long. I want to show audiences I can act.".Jackie chan punches his way out of action movies, says he's givingup fighting on screen The e-commerce company in China offers quality products such as Led Tube Light Bulbs Manufacturer , Ceiling Recessed Spotlights Manufacturer, and more.
