Hollywood movies actor Jackie Chan with his son Jaycee Chan
Jackie Chan’s son has become the latest celebrity to be detained on drug-related charges in one of China’s biggest anti-drug crackdowns in two decades.
Jaycee Chan, 31, was arrested last Thursday along with the 23-year-old Taiwanese star Kai Ko, Beijing police said on Monday.
It is unclear why the announcement of the detentions was delayed for several days.
Police said both actors tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the drug, and that 100g of it was taken from Chan’s home.
Jaycee Chan’s management, M’Stones International, apologised to the public on his behalf for the “social impact” caused in a statement on their website.
