Chan, who has never been interested in working in Hollywood movies, got candid about how he ended up starring in the action franchise that went on to become one of his highest-grossing movies.

"I tried so many times to go to Hollywood, but after that, I said no more Hollywood because my English is not good, they’re not my culture, and they don’t like this kind of action," he said.

Even when the script of'Rush Hour' came, he was not interested in working onit. Recalling how his manager urged him to at least take a look at the script, Chan shared: "My manager said look, there’s a script, and it’s called Rush Hour." I said no, Hong Kong police. I’m not going to do it. He said Jackie, why don’t you try last time. I said, "Okay, this is the last time."
