Jackie Chan To 'stunt' Into Old Age.


Martial arts star Jackie Chan has refused the help of stunt doubles on set, insisting, "I'll do it myself until my body will tell me stop". The fearless 53-year-old stunned the crew on the set of his latest film, Rush Hour 3, by clambering up Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower without a safety net. And, despite his advancing years, he's confident he'll be able to keep up the daredevil stunts for many more years. He says, "The experience was something none of us would forget, least of all me. I can tell my grandchildren, 'This is your grandfather. This is me. That's not a double flying around the Eiffel Tower in 100 mile-per-hour winds'. "Sometimes I forget my age. You just keep moving. "I'll do it until my body will tell me stop. I don't think about retirement.".
