Never Grow Up (book)

Never Grow Up is a non-fiction book written by Jackie Chan, with Zhu Mo serving as co-author. Published in 2015, the book offers a candid and reflective autobiographical account of Chan's life, career, and personal philosophies. It details his early training at the Peking Opera School, his rise to international stardom in the film industry, and his experiences navigating fame and fortune.

The book provides insights into Chan's complex relationships, including his family, friends, and colleagues. It touches upon his regrets, mistakes, and the lessons he has learned throughout his life. Unlike some celebrity autobiographies that focus solely on professional achievements, Never Grow Up delves into Chan's vulnerabilities and insecurities, offering a more human portrayal of the action star.

The title, Never Grow Up, is reflective of Chan's on-screen persona and his desire to maintain a childlike sense of wonder and enthusiasm. However, the book also explores the challenges and responsibilities that come with adulthood and the importance of learning from one's experiences. It is considered a more introspective work compared to previous publications about Chan's life, which often focused on his stunt work and on-screen accomplishments.
