Profile of Jaycee Chan on Famous Like Me

Jaycee Chan (房祖名), born Fong Jo Ming in Cantonese and Fang Zuming in Mandarin, is an actor, professional singer, composer, lyricist and guitarist who released his first CD album in 2004.

He is the son of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan and Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-Jiao. He was born, Chan Jo-Ming (陳祖明), but changed his surname to Fong/Fang as this is his true ancestral name¹. Although this is his name in the Eastern hemisphere, his name remains "Jaycee Chan" in the Western hemisphere with a few sources listing him as "Jaycee Fong".

His date of birth is disputed. Some sources list him as being born on December 3, 1982, in Los Angeles, California; other sources, including Jackie Chan's autobiography, state that he was born in 1984. He has lived most of his life in Los Angeles, although this fact is also disputed.

Jaycee is currently quite popular in Hong Kong and Mainland China. He is fluent in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Taiwanese. In addition to his musical and acting skills, Jaycee is noted for his sincerity, humbleness, politeness and subtle humor. However, his pop music career has suffered slightly because of his father's disparaging comments about the quality of his music.

Jaycee attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia for two semesters, where he lived on the third floor of the Fauquier residence hall. He studied primarily Japanese, and frequently impressed fellow students with his tap-dancing and video game skills.
