Jakarta –
Jackie Chan has been a very influential figure in the development of Chinese cinema from the 1980s to the present. Various artists, producers and directors are always trying to establish good communication with him. But apparently, there is a name the actor hates so much. Who is he?
He is Teddy Chan, director of Downtown Torpedoes (1998), The Accidental Spy (2001) and Bodyguard Assassins (2009). The 64-year-old man also admitted in his bio titled Leave Your Sorrows To the Movies that he was hated by Jackie Chan.
It all started after she decided to leave the actor. Teddy was originally an assistant to Jackie Chan since he was 18. He also always accompanies the action actor and is considered his right hand.

But suddenly, he felt “enough” with the preferential treatment he received as Jackie’s right-hand man and chose a career as a director. Teddy hasn’t even discussed it before and it has made the 68-year-old actor very disappointed and angry. In fact, he always looked away whenever they passed.

In his book, Teddy says that Jackie Chan remained silent and never spoke to him for more than 20 years, until they finally worked together on The Accidental Spy movie. That moment also became an event where the two talked heart to heart and solved problems decades ago.
After talking face to face, Teddy finally figured out why Jackie Chan was so mad at him. Because during his decades of career in show business, the actor has never been completely abandoned and always has control over where to fire people, not the other way around.
Now their relationship has improved, even Jackie Chan doesn’t hesitate to call Teddy her brother. He also contributed by writing him as a prologue to the director’s autobiography.
