Jackie Chan Exchanges Insults With Audience

HONG KONG (July 11, 2006) — Jackie Chan disrupted a concert by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee and exchanged insults with the audience, a news report said Tuesday.

Ming Pao Daily News quoted the 52-year-old action star as saying onstage that he was drunk.

Chan suddenly jumped on the stage Monday night and demanded a duet with Lee. He then tried to conduct the band but stopped and restarted the music several times, the newspaper reported.

As the awkward interruption dragged on, audience members started to heckle Chan, who replied with an insult, according to the report.

A spokesman for Chan, Solon So, said he hadn’t seen Chan since the alleged incident and had no immediate comment. He said he didn’t attend the concert.

Concert organizers didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

Chan, whose Hollywood credits include the “Rush Hour” series and “The Tuxedo,” was an invited performing guest at Lee’s show Sunday night.
