The star remembered seeing Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar when he had a meeting with him at his house 23 years ago.

“I touched it, kissed it, smelled it,” Chan kidded. “I believe it still has my fingerprints on it…Then I talked to myself, ‘I really want one.’ Finally, (Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs) called and I said, ‘Are you sure?'”

Chan thanked his fans and promised them to keep working and making movies.
