Although he is one of China’s most renowned actors, starring in both Chinese and American stunt films, sometimes you just want him to punch him in the face. And if you think that I’m being mean, well, I don’t really care. He knows kung fu and stuff, so I’m sure he can handle himself. Here is a top 10 list of reasons why you might want to punch him in the face (obviously the list started off a lot longer, but we shortened it for editing purposes):

1. Government stooge. He claims: “We Chinese need to be controlled”. More and more frequently Chan can be seen as a sycophantic government stooge. On a Hong Kong TV show, Chan said “We know our country has many problems. We [can] talk about it when the door is closed. To outsiders, [we should say] “our country is the best.” I know, what kind of a douchebag even says this kind of stuff?

2. He has disrespected Hong Kong, his own birthplace, on numerous occasions–one of the most famous times was at the Hainan film symposium where he said,”with too much freedom, we become like Hong Kong and Taiwan – such huge messes” . Needless to say Hongkongers weren’t impressed, and in one protest many Hong Konger’s famously said that they would rather welcome  US whistleblower Edward Snowden instead of Jackie Chan. And who could blame them for that…

3. Chan cheated on his wife, fathered another child then said: “I have done something wrong. I have done something which all men in the world will have done wrong, all because I’m playful. If the baby is mine, I will bear full responsibility.” Not quite living up to his perfect family guy image to say the least; the Chinese press were shocked when the ex-Miss Asia said she was pregnant in 1999 with Chan’s baby and although he has never confirmed the child was his, he did admit to the affair.

4. Claiming there is no smog in Beijing: “who said Beijing had no blue skies? Such blue skies, green fields”…yeah about that, Beijing’s smog count recently reached 993 micrograms per cubic meter in the Xizhimen area. With Chinese people living with smog on a daily basis and having to live with its affects, when Chan posted the comment on Weibo with a lovely picture of fresh blue skies, well, to say there was a backlash would be putting it mildly:

CutePhone： @成龙 你还能更臭不要脸点吗 Can you be more disgusting and shameless?

净菜来了: 你他妈的狗奴才 f***ing dog slave

何道从正：贱骨头，以后不会看你的任何电影( You’re the government”s bitch I’m never buying your films again.)

 

5. Being a dick to the people who made him rich. Despite his huge success in the film industry in America, earning his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame and phonetically blundered his way through countless film scripts, Chan stated that the United States was the “most corrupt country” in the world. Which also earned a quick response from American’s online telling people to boycott his films. Heckler Spray wrote:  “I’m calling it now: there will be a huge boycott of Jackie Chan’s films no matter how much they make small children squeal with enjoyment. Because we cannot have someone saying something like that.” Hmmm, far too polite if you ask me.

6. Wishing for disasters. South China Morning Post reported that in a recent interview for his film Chinese Zodiac, Chan said:  “Sometimes I really like to see some countries have a disaster coming, or either big tsunami, or either big earthquake.” Wtf? Apparently it’s a good way of bringing the world together, and setting political differences aside -um, I’m sure all the suffering is worth it Jackie, you douchebag.

7. Hypocrisy is also one of Chan’s faults, as he claims that: “Hong Kong has become a city of protests…people scold China’s leaders, or anything else they like, and protest against everything” . Of course since then, pictures have circulated of Jackie Chan at an anti-piracy protest in Hong Kong in 1999, you know, back when he had a soul.

8. He is everywhere. Jackie Chan somehow gets involved in practically every aspect of show business: there is directing, producing, and singing the soundtrack to his own films. It’s true, you just can’t get away from the guy he has been in 123 films; he has over 25 albums; he often directs, and now he has started his own K pop group called JJCC. Does this man ever sleep?

9. He is a chameleon. He claimed he was half-Korean whilst on on the red carpet for his film Police Story 2013 in Korea. However he later stated it was just a metaphor about how he is Korean at heart, as he has received much help from the Koreans. Online users are once again criticizing Jackie pegging him as  an “opportunist”. Still, better than  f***ing dog slave, I guess.

10. Sleazebag. Last but not least, his constant overly affectionate responses to women in public are a little risque to say the least; he was recently criticized for being very, um, friendly at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference last week. Netizens teased: “You were attending a convention of the country’s top political advisory body – not going to a night club or a movie shoot!”. Here are some pics of Jackie laying his mac down:
