Jackie Chan is generally seen as a very positive figure by many people and even a role model to some, but we all have our flaws and our not so perfect relationships in our lives. In his case, his problems are with his daughter which he had during a relationship with Elaine Ng. Etta, who is now 15, didn’t have many positive things to say about her father, but at the same time she wanted to make it clear that she holds no negative feelings towards him and has moved on from that part of her life.
In her statement, she said that Jackie Chan is “just her biological father”, which is the first time she has made a comment about her relationship with her father publicly. She added that it was difficult for her to grow up without a father, and her school years were particularly tough as she had to watch other kids get picked up by their fathers after school every day.
Still, Etta Ng said that she wasn’t really angry with Jackie Chan, and had no negative feelings towards him. She has been able to overcome the difficulties during her childhood and is now moving forward with her life, and she seems to have realized that there is no point in holding a grudge, as it will not benefit her in any way.
At the same time, she added that she had no interest in meeting Jackie Chan, even though some of the actor’s fans were apparently hopeful that this would eventually happen. Etta stated that she was quite used to living her life without a father around, and didn’t want to change that at this point.
She expanded a little on her upbringing as well, saying that she definitely didn’t grow up without parental love in her life, as her mother took care of that and has apparently managed to even make up for what was missing in Etta’s life.
And judging by the way Etta has been growing up, we can certainly say that she has done a great job and should be commended for her dedication to raising her daughter. It’s probably a bit sad that Etta and Jackie Chan will never get to meet – at least not for now – but the important thing in the end is that they’re both happy. It’s still possible that one day Etta might change her mind and we would end up reading about her reunion with Jackie Chan, but until then things will not change.
