“Stop acting like a punk!”: Jackie Chan Would Not Tolerate if Actors Don’t Do One Thing in His Movies


The legendary martial arts star, Jackie Chan, has always been known for his dedication to his movie roles. And while most of his movies turn into blockbusters, it’s not always easy for his co-stars to perform with similar dedication, like that as Chan’s. But somehow, the actor demands his fellow stars to push their limits and try harder, for the sake of authenticity in their roles.
Recalling the Rush Hour movies and their making, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were the popular pairings that no one expected to turn out well, due to Chan’s adamant nature. However, despite teasing Tucker for not performing his stunts in the 1998 action-comedy, Chan’s friendship grew stronger with his co-star.

Jackie Chan Demands Physical Commitment To The Movie RolesLegendary Chinese action star Jackie Chan has always appreciated the value of true action movies and stars, who happen to dedicate themselves to the role. Performing his stunts all by himself, the actor is known for putting his everything into the movie.
However, Jackie Chan has always been triggered by the sad state of action stars in films, as they fail to commit themselves to the physical part of the shoot. Claiming to value action stars over good-looking actors, Jackie Chan has personally created a deep impact on the Chinese film industry as well as Hollywood.

Having a different approach to the movie’s stunts, Chan often engaged in sarcastic remarks and arguments with his co-stars over not performing their own stunts. Recalling his $850 million franchise Rush Hour, the martial arts star was called out by Chris Tucker for giving him a hard time and teasing him for not engaging in the physical part of the shoots.
Jackie Chan Teased Chris Tucker For Not Performing His Own StuntsAppearing on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Chris Tucker claimed getting teased by Jackie Chan while shooting the buddy-cop action comedy franchise, Rush Hour. Stating how their different approach to their roles created a rift between them, Tucker claimed to face a hard time on set.

“On the first movie, I got in shape because I heard Jackie does his own stunts. So I said, ‘Let me get in shape,’ and I started doing it and everything. Because if you don’t come out there, Jackie will tease you. ‘Chris Tucker, you scared? Come, we’ll do your stunts! Stop acting like a punk! Do your stunts!’” Chris Tucker claimed.
Although the actor didn’t mention if the teasing worked for him and if he performed his stunts or not, he definitely admitted how his stuntman was injured on the set of the movie. While most people have their individual skill sets and prefer to stick to them, Jackie Chan definitely believes in pushing the limits.

Further, while the disagreements and teasing should have caused a major rift between the stars, it apparently helped them to be great friends, after all. Just like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker’s characters from Rush Hour found common ground to work together, so did the actors, in real life.
Watch the entire Rush Hour franchise on HBO Max.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
