TORONTO - Action star Jackie Chan is a man on the move who wings his entourage to gigs around the world in luxury and comfort.
The
star, who is busy with acting and charitable work, flew to Toronto
earlier this month in his personal $20 million jet to make special
appearances at TIFF.
Chan’s brightly decorated Brazilian-made
Embraer ERJ-135 jet can carry up to 37 people while cruising at 37,000
feet and hitting speeds of 1,335 kms an hour. It has a large galley that
is geared for fine dining on those long flights.
The aircraft
features white leather couches, large chairs and all the electronic toys
to keep Chan connected as he was traveling here to be a guest of
honor at TIFF’s first Asian film summit on Sept. 10 to promote
collaborations between Asian and North American film makers.
The
star, who is known for his death-defying stunts, was only in town for a
couple days before returning to Asia, where he is an icon with a number
of charities to his name.
The co-star of the ‘Rush Hour’ movie
series spends a lot of time in the air and this year alone his plane has
flown multiple times to Singapore, China, Bejing, U.S. and Canada. He
was out of dodge after about 72-hours in the TIFF limelight.
