Jackie Chan truly has suffered for his art: In more than 20 years of moviemaking, the nimble and fearless Hong Kong action star has broken every bone in his body while performing his own stunts.As a poverty-stricken youngster in Hong Kong, he was still able to enroll at the Chinese Opera Research Institute at age seven and rigorously trained with the Peking Opera for the next decade.
