Jackie Chan: It’s time to slow down
LONDON
Action-movie veteran Jackie Chan admits doing stunt work is “not like it used to be” as he no longer bounces back from big scenes.
“The next morning, you realize: Wow! It hurts,” says the actor, who turned 60 earlier this year.
“Now my body tells me to slow down 30 percent, and probably in another two years, 20 more, then 50 percent. So slowly, slowly, then I will tell the whole world, stop doing action.”
Chan may recognize it’s time to slow things down, but he didn’t let that stop him from going all out for what he describes as his last “big” action movie — “Chinese Zodiac.”
Chris Kattan gets probation for DUI
LOS ANGELES
Chris Kattan has been sentenced to three years’ probation for driving under the influence and crashing his Mercedes into a Department of Transportation vehicle on a Southern California freeway earlier this year.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the former “Saturday Night Live” star also was ordered Thursday to pay a $500 fine and attend an alcohol education program.
A restitution hearing will take place next month to determine how much Kattan owes the state for damage to the DOT vehicle.
