Action star Jackie Chan has admitted he didn't require any special preparation for his new movie, Karate Kid: Legends, since he's been practicing for an astonishing 64 years.
New York-set and starring Chan alongside Ralph Macchio and Ben Wang, the movie sees Chan reprising his role from the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid.
Reputed for doing his own stunts during his career, Chan accounted for the fact that he's only "fighting." Discussing with Variety, he said, "I don't need to anymore. I've been training every day for 64 years. I've been fighting, fighting, fighting."
At 71, the actor conceded that he's not where he used to be in his youth but still insists on performing his own stunts. "I'm not like I was at 20, and could do a triple kick in the sky. Now, I do one kick," he quipped.
Karate Kid: Legends opened in Indian cinemas on May 30.
The film focuses on Kung Fu genius Li Fong, played by Wang, who is adjusting to life at a new school, making unlikely friendships, and engaging in an intense battle with a local karate master.
