Jackie Chan, along with Bruce Lee, is arguably China's most famous cinematic export to the world. One of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Jackie Chan has re-defined action over the years. And with his Indo-Chinese movie Kung Fu Yoga coming up, Jackie shows no signs of slowing down. So on his birthday today, we try to figure out what makes Jackie Chan so special. What makes him more than just another action star. Read on. He's one of the biggest philanthropists in the world. Jackie runs a number of charitable organisations to help the needy. Apart from the fact that he's pledged to donate his entire $130 million fortune to charity, Chan runs numerous schools and colleges for poor children across the world and hospitals for the needy. He's currently a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and UNAIDS. He continues to raise huge amounts of money for the needy through his charity events.

Moreover, he'd recently apologised publicly when his son Jaycee Chan was caught in a drug bust.

He doesn't believe in only giving away his money. He believes in giving his time.

While it's very easy to give huge sums of money for charitable purposes, the one thing that's more valuable than money to celebrities is their time. And that's exactly what Jackie Chan believes in giving.
