‘Candid’ Jackie Chan memoir on tap

NEW YORK

Jackie Chan is ready to share more stories about his amazing life and career. The star of blockbusters such as “Rush Hour” and “Kung Fu Panda” has a memoir coming out in November.

Gallery Books told The Associated Press on Thursday that “Never Grow Up” is a “candid” account of everything from his youth with the China Drama Academy to his “numerous” near-death experiences on and off camera.

The 64-year-old Chan will also write about making movies in Hong King and Hollywood and of his imperfections as a family man, according to Gallery, a Simon & Schuster imprint.

Chan’s other films include a remake of “The Karate Kid” and the “Police Story” series. His previous books include “I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action,” a memoir published in 1998.
