American singer-actor Jaycee Chan, the son of Hong Kong icon Jackie Chan, has largely kept a low profile since his 2014 drug scandal.
At the time, Jackie, 71, voiced his disappointment in his son and stated he would not use his connections to help him.
The pair only reconciled after Jaycee, 42, completed his six-month prison sentence and have rarely been seen together in public… until recently.
On Wednesday (Aug 6), a netizen on Xiaohongshu revealed that they had unexpectedly run into Jackie and his son at Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
The post included a photo of Jackie – dressed casually in an all-white outfit – strolling alongside a few others. Although Jaycee’s face wasn’t visible in the picture, the netizen said he was the one wearing a black cap.
“I was sitting on a chair by the lake, just daydreaming, when I turned around and saw Jackie Chan! The guy in the black cap next to him was Jaycee, but I didn’t manage to snap a photo of him,” the user wrote.
It’s understood that Jackie is in Switzerland to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 78th Locarno Film Festival, scheduled for Aug 9.
Prior to the 2014 drug scandal, the father-son duo appeared together in films such as The Twins Effect II (2004) and 1911 (2011), where they showcased their on-screen chemistry.
Jaycee is the only son of Jackie and his wife, former actress Joan Lin.
The action star has an estranged 25-year-old daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam, from an extramarital affair with former beauty queen Elaine Ng.
