Chan went on to say, “Indeed, I’ve been part of it for quite some time due to my involvement in numerous film awards.” He added, “I’ve shared the Best Actor category with greats like Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, and Tom Hanks. Few action stars can claim that, don’t you agree?

Since its humble start at the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2015, it has grown into a standalone event with a fresh date and location every year, starting from 2019.

The actor clarified, “It revolves around action. This includes action stunt performers, stunt coordinators, action stars, even women in action, and it’s the best. It stands out because I pointed out that whereas Oscars often focus on special effects and sound, they lack real action. The film about action travels across the globe, encompassing the entire world.

Later on, Chan found himself alongside his Karate Kid: Legends co-star, Ben Wang, and expressed, “I’m absolutely thrilled that you have been chosen to receive the next generation action star award. Yes, I couldn’t be happier. It’s about time!
