Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan could not hold back his tears when talking about the struggles of finding new action actors in an industry that no longer needs it, Sin Chew reported.

In a recent interview to promote his upcoming film, Ride On, Chan said he felt upset that the market is prioritising looks over the skills of true action stars.
