I doubt they confused the Jackie Chan (成龍) for Bruce Lee (李小龍) because they share the same character, 龍 (Dragon), in their Chinese names. https://twitter.com/ursulaliang/status/1297012357252681729
In my quick edit, didn't mean to put "the" in front of Jackie Chan, lol. Both are great, but Bruce Lee's Asian American identity makes him more THE Bruce Lee for me.
Though I actually grew up watching Jackie Chan in Taiwan. Besides as a martial artist and comedic actor, I knew him as a singer and a dramatic actor too. Those identities of 成龍 don't even exist in the U.S.
How many folks in the U.S. knew that Jackie Chan sang the Mandarin and Canto versions of “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” for the original Mulan? And this music video is 🔥!
Hilarious how calling out a problematic confusion of Jackie Chan for Bruce Lee accidentally turned into a Jackie Chan stan thread.
OK, turning the spotlight back on Bruce Lee. Did you know that Bruce Lee was the Cha Cha Champion of Hong Kong in 1958?
And I'll just leave these here.
