Jackie Chan, First ever honorary Oscars holder

Yesterday, 成龍 Jackie Chan got his first ever honorary Oscars after dedicating 50 years of his life to cinema where he showed his incredible talent and skill in over more than 220 films. What people do not know about Chan is that he has himself enlisted in the much known Guinness World Records for two things. A stunt actor since 1972, sustaining multiple injuries in his career that range from a broken nose and fractured skull, he holds the world record for 'most stunts by a living actor'. Having said that, Chan holds another record for 'most credits in one movie' - he was mentioned 15 times in the movie credits for the movie Chinese Zodiac, in which he took the role of writer, director, actor (Asian Hawk), producer, executive producer, cinematographer, art director, unit production manager, catering coordinator, stuntman, stunt coordinator, gaffer, composer, props, and theme tune vocalist. His newly awarded achievement is well-deserved, no doubt. What a legend he is!
