In a sequence from the movie Ride On, the actor watches his own stunts with the actress playing his daughter. A video that has outraged some netizens, recalling how the actor treated his real child.
“Dad, you’re great,” we hear him say with tears in our eyes. In a sequence from the feature film Ride On, released in China in early April, Jackie Chan, who plays a stuntman, talks to actress Liu Haocun, who plays her daughter in the Larry Yang film. They both watch a compilation of the comedian’s famous stunts.

The only downside is that this video, which went viral, did not receive unanimous approval on social networks.
Many netizens have actually pointed out the lack of relationship between Jackie Chan and his real life daughter, Etta Ng, who was born in 1999 from his affair with Elaine Ng, a beauty queen and nicknamed “Xiao Long Nu” (“the little dragon girl”) 1990s. And this despite the fact that the actor was still married to Joan Lin, his wife since 1982. “What’s crazy about this clip is that it’s not about Jackie Chan’s daughter, it’s about an actress who was hired for the role,” tweeted @LadyLabris in particular. Jackie Chan dumped her real daughter Etta Ng Chok Lam in 2017 for being a lesbian. Since then, she and her wife have been homeless. Jackie Chan has a net worth of $400 million.

“I neglected her for a long time”
Two years later, Etta Ng appeared on Instagram. The following year, she announced her marriage to a woman named Andi Autumn. In the same year, it was revealed that the couple was homeless because the young women’s respective parents did not approve of their relationship. “We’ve been homeless for months because of our homophobic parents,” Etta Ng explained in a now-deleted video. We slept under a bridge and things like that.”

He went on to explain the feature film: “I was touched by the story, especially during the crying scenes,” he explained. When we shot scenes with actress Tian Jing, I shed a few tears because it reminded me of my daughter Xiao Long Nu. I’ve neglected her for so long. No one knows what has become of Etta Ng since then.
