Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan is on his way to Beijing to help free his son, Jaycee, after he was arrested on drug charges. Beijing police say that they found more than 100 grams of marijuana at the younger Chan’s home.
The 32-year-old son of the actor and kung-fu star is one of the latest celebrities to be arrested as authorities in China clamp down on drug offenders. Jaycee, who is from Hong Kong, was reportedly detained along with 23-year old Taiwanese actor Ko Chen-tung, also known as Kai Ko, during the raid on Thursday in Beijing’s cultural and commercial district of Dongcheng, the South China Morning Post reported, citing reports by state media on Tuesday. Police said they acted on a tip-off from the public.
