Hong Kong filmmaker-actor Jackie Chan recently appeared in a Chinese reality show, Memories Beyond Horizon, where he opened up about why he doesn’t do American films very often.

In the programme, the 68-year-old star expressed feeling insecure when he first started filming in the United States because he had yet to master the English language.
