Chan wants to give Kung Fu roles the chop

Martial arts legend Jackie Chan claims Hollywood limits roles for Asians and says it’s time he became a “real actor” by taking on roles other than as a kung fu fighter.

“It’s all the same, cop from Hong Kong, cop from China. Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat and I all face the same problem, our roles are limited,” said Chan, aged 50, referring to other Chinese action stars who have sought roles in Western movies.
