Jackie Chan’s star-studded 60th birthday concert

Big names from all over Asia turned up to celebrate Jackie Chan’s 60th birthday

Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan turns 60 today – but his son, actor Jaycee Chan, began planning for the celebration more than a year ago. In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, numerous activities were planned beforehand, one of which was the Peace & Love & Friendship concert that was held at the Beijing Workers' Stadium last night.

Stars who turned up to offer their blessings include singers Lee Zong Sheng, Jay Chou, Lee Hom, Coco Lee, actor Leo Ku, Korean idol group EXO, Kim Hee Sun and MISIA from Japan.

Jackie kicked off the concert at 7pm, performing with a group of 200 children adorning red T-shirts, as they sang to the tune of Jaycee’s self-composed song, Bu Zai Shi Qu. The birthday star greeted fans from all around the world in various languages, and promoted world peace and anti-racism. It was declared that all proceeds from the concert will go towards charitable causes.

Next, guest star Coco Lee took the stage, followed by Lee Zong Sheng, Sun Nan, Lang Lang, and EXO. After Jackie sang Legend with his former co-star and rumoured girlfriend Kim Hee Sun, he joked that his version was better than singer Sun Nan’s, and lightly kissed the actress on her cheek.

Taiwan Mando-pop star Lee Hom performed subsequently, singing hit song Only One together with fans. The singer also praised Jackie for his huge contributions to the film and music industry and supported the actor’s views on love and peace.

When Jackie told Lee Hom to guess which designer designed the dark green suit he was wearing, Lee Hom merely smiled but did not answer. In response, Jackie declared proudly that the designer was “Joan Chen-Lin” (Jackie’s wife, former actress Lin Feng-jiao) as the crowd erupted in cheers.

The celebrations continued last night as Jackie held a charity auction and donated many of his personal collectibles, which included a Lamborghini sports car that was eventually auctioned off for HK$10 million.

In another display of affluence, Chinese singer-actress Li Bingbing spent a shocking amount of HK$19 million (approximately SG$3.85 million) to successfully bid for a famed piece of art.
