After the clip went viral, netizens were in awe of Chan’s iconic career and even shared their thoughts on social media.

It is pertinent to mention that few online users got confused and assumed that the actress was his real daughter.

However, this is a scene from one of his new movies, Ride On, in which he played a character of a stunt man and the girl in the clip is his on-screen daughter.
