Jet Li, another Hollywood favorite, won the Chinese national Wushu (Martial Arts) championships five times in a row before becoming a movie star, starting with the movie
‘Shaolin Temple’.
Jackie Chan evolved a unique genre that combined slapstick comedy with martial arts. He has directed and acted in more tan 50 films and has a very distinct following across the world.
Film directors created a new class of movies built on martial arts moves and counter moves. In the process, they produced a new generation of martial arts films and film stars.
Today, there are plenty of martial arts artists in the West who recreate their martial abilities on screen and have their own distinct fan following. These include legends like Chuck Norris, Wesley Snipe, Jean Claude Van Damme and GJ Torres.

Celebrities and Plastic Surgery
Celebrity plastic surgery is on the rise. More and more celebrities are trying to find a way to look young and stay that way. Plastic surgery is the best way to do just that. Most of the celebrities that we see on television, in the movies or possibly in person are nothing more than dressed up in the latest fashion trends. Yet, today, some of those trends including a wide range of plastic surgery procedures.
Most of the celebrities having surgery are doing it for a good reason, so they claim. A touch up here or one there will help them to stay working because no audience wants to have an old actress to look at. To get rid of or to hide the aging lines, celebrities tend to turn to the plastic surgery knife. They may use it to help them to tone up their bodies, to create the illusion that they are slimmer, working out even. Some celebrities do it because they are looking for a method to look better than another to get the job.
