Jackie Chan, Ashamed And Heartbroken Over Son's Arrest

He says his son would have to face the
consequences of his actions, but that they would
do so together.
ward
winning actor Jackie Chan has apologized to the
public Wednesday morning over his son's
shocking detention on drug charges in Beijing
earlier this week, saying he's ashamed and
saddened.
The Hong Kong film superstar wrote on his
microblog that his son, Jaycee Chan will not be
spared. He would have to face the consequences
of his actions, but that they would do so
together.
He wrote: "Regarding this issue with my son
Jaycee, I feel very angry and very shocked. As a
public figure, I'm very ashamed. As a father, I'm
heartbroken. Jaycee and I together express our
deep apology to society and the public."
We earlier reported that 31-year-old Jaycee
Chan and Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko , 23, were
both detained last Thursday, becoming the latest
high-profile celebrities to be ensnared in one of
China's biggest anti-drug crackdowns in two
decades.
According to the Police reports, both actors
tested positive for marijuana and admitted using
the drug, and that 100 grams (3.53 ounces) of it
were taken from Chan's home.
Local media report that the senior Chan and Ko 's
father traveled to Beijing to meet with their sons
this week. Funny enough, Jackie Chan was
named by Beijing as an anti-drug
ambassador back in 2009 and extending from his
fame as an actor and singer, the elder Chan is a
high-profile public figure in mainland China.
Chan wrote: "I hope all young people will learn a
lesson from Jaycee and stay far from the harm of
drugs. I say to Jaycee that you have to accept
the consequences when you do something
wrong. As your father, I'm going to face the road
together with you."
