Actor Jackie Chan tells an audience at the premiere of his upcoming film in Beijing that the words of a Palestinian child from Gaza left him in tears.
“They asked him, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ He said: ‘Children don’t grow up here.’ I burst into tears immediately,” said the 71-year-old actor.
“As soon as that child started speaking, I began to cry.”
