Jackie Chan is afraid of no woman except for one

It is difficult to frighten a legendary martial artist like Jackie Chan. Difficult, but not impossible. Being in a career like his own, it is not far-fetched to believe that Chan has been put on a pedestal because of his skills as a stuntman and a fighter. However, that alone is not what defines him. Alongside his acting skills, it is also his humor that can often catch an audience by surprise.

His humor shines the most when he is alongside his friend and longtime co-star, Michelle Yeoh. Both of them are very open about their friendship, unafraid to insult one another and with it, also standing up for each other. Ironically enough, it was this candid nature that made Chan realize he was not as strong as the martial artist in front of her.

Upon hearing Michelle Yeoh’s comments about Jackie Chan, many would come to wonder whether or not they dislike each other. However, it is quite the contrary, seeing that their insults for each other come out as a means of adoration towards one another thanks to their friendship.

She openly called him a male chauvinistic pig, a comment that seemed to surprise and shock all those sitting in the audience. Seeing that the interview was taken in 1997, the element of their friendship for not one that surfaced as it does now. To reiterate, she did add the fact that the comment was not one she made behind his back.

“I say this to him you know to his face you know he always believes that women should stay at home and cook and don’t do anything and be the victim. Except for Michelle now he said because I would kick his butt.”
Although she did clear out the fact that he may have such a thought for everyone except for Yeoh. That was because if there is anyone who can ‘kick his butt,’ it is Michelle Yeoh.
