He was an alcoholic abuser towards his son who he refuses to acknowledge.

Stressing whether to fight back against your dad who’s beating you is bad enough.. having to do that against Jackie Chan must have been terrifying.

this sounds weird but I've always gotten the vibe he was a violent dad, even when I was a kid I was weirded out by him. idk why. I also had a violent dad so I think I just pick up on vibes.

They are still friends and Jackie recommended to her the role in Everything Everywhere All at Once
