Chinese media report: on Thursday at one of the promotional events Donnie Yen admitted that he was raising his son as his future successor.
“My son has a very strong passion for acting.”
“Now he can already perform basic movements, and when I photograph him doing this activity, he turns his head towards the camera, as if he is participating in a performance,” - I said, Ian.
Ian also said that he would start teaching martial arts to his three-year-old son James when he gets a little older.
When asked a question regarding the lack of young action stars in the industry, Ian replied that this was a really serious problem.
He would like his son, without any coercion, to become the new star of combat cinema if the situation does not change.
“He can become my worthy successor,” - declared Ian.
The actor, who has been busy starring in action films, admitted that he spent most of his free time with his family after taking a six-month break from acting.

Well, if he teaches his son martial arts just to fight on the set, then his son will not be far from all sorts of pop idols.
Well, not for fights on the prof. to teach him a level... This is a better option than looking at cute faces that were trained for a couple of months, hung on strings, replaced with doubles in all difficult scenes and edited in such a way that you can hardly understand what is happening...
Well done, I also train my son, but not for the cinema
God grant that everything comes true as Donnie plans. I'll keep an eye on it and expect the same thing.
You won't even think that he didn't do this.
And Leung Ka-Yan didn’t do kung fu on purpose either, but he’s just an awesome imitator!
Definitely well done! He, like Sammo and Jackie, understands what will happen to the once powerful Hong Kong film industry if everything continues as it is now.
Young teenagers who can’t even throw a punch are cast in the leading roles.
Strange case. Previously, both Alan Tam and Andy Lau played a lot in films. BUT they fought very well!
And now...
Good luck Donny!!!
Cool! Of course, I’m not Donny, but I will also teach my son wushu when he turns 6 years old (he’s also 3 years old right now). :)
Well done Donny keep it up!!!
Yes, Donnie needs to rest.
Well done to him for taking care of his sons, maybe they will grow up to be great actors. Under the leadership of such a powerful dad. And I also praise him for being concerned about the future of action cinema. In fact, there are few fighters and normal actors in Hong Kong.
And Sammo created a film academy 2 years ago, and Jackie is also fussing about actors there, but I think in a purely action genre. Vivat to all of them!
