Jackie Chan Breaks Silence After Son Jaycee Chan's Drug Arrest

-
 "I Feel Very Ashamed"
Jackie Chan is speaking out after his son, Jaycee Chan, was arrested in a Beijing drug bust last week.
The martial arts legend posted a heartfelt statement on his website, thanking fans for their support and well wishes as well as apologizing on behalf of his son.
"First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for your care and concerns. The recent news about my son, Jaycee, is very shocking and the impact it has caused on society is heartbreaking," the movie star shared.
"When I first heard the news, I was absolutely enraged. As a public figure, I feel very ashamed; as his dad, I'm very sad and disappointed. But the person who feels heartbroken the most is his mom. I hope our younger generation will learn from Jaycee's mistake and stay far away from drug abuse."
Jackie then went on to send a message to his 31-year-old son, saying, "I would like to take this opportunity and say to Jaycee: you've done something wrong and you have to be responsible for the consequences. I'm your dad and I'll always be with you. We will face the road ahead of us together."
He continued, "I should also take some of this responsibility because as his dad, I didn't teach him well. Therefore, on behalf of Jaycee and myself, I extend our deepest apologies to everyone for the negative impact this has caused on society. Thank you."

Jaycee Chan’s arrest is a major black eye for his famous father, who has spent years campaigning against drugs.

The scion of the action star and Taiwanese actress Feng-Jiao Ling had carved out a career of his own in the Hong Kong and mainland Chinese film industries, with critically acclaimed turns in movies such as 2009’s “Mulan: Rise of a Warrior.”

The detentions, part of a Chinese crackdown on drug use among high-profile celebrities, come days after 42 entertainment agencies proclaimed a boycott of any actors or singers caught using narcotics.

Chinese newspapers reported that
 Jaycee Chan could face three years in prison.
Kai Ko (Chen-Tung Ko),
was also arrested Thursday.













Jaycee Chan, was arrested in a Beijing drug bust along with Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko.
The two stars were among several to be detained on drug-related offenses last week after police say they both tested positive for marijuana and confessed to being under the influence of the drug.
Jaycee faces charges for "providing a shelter for others to use drugs" after police found and removed 100 grams of marijuana from his home.
If convicted, Jaycee could face up to three years in prison.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
