Kung fu movie star Jackie Chan says he "takes responsibility" for the
drug charges laid against his son, 32-year-old Jaycee Chan, in Beijing.
Police detained the junior Chan, who is originally from Hong Kong and
also an actor, as well as Kai Ko, a 23-year-old Taiwanese actor, during a
raid on August 14 in Dongcheng district.
Jackie Chan publicly
addressed the incident for the first time on Wednesday evening, through
messages posted on his account on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging
platform.
The star of "Rush Hour"
wrote that he felt "extremely furious" and "extremely shocked" at the
news of his son's drug woes, adding that Jaycee's mother is
"heartbroken."
"I hope that young people
will see Jaycee as a cautionary tale and stay away from drugs," wrote
Chan, who once campaigned against drug use and was named an anti-drugs
ambassador in China in 2009.
