'Very tired': Actor Jackie Chan announced his retirement today as an action star at the Cannes Film Festival
He made his name as a martial arts hero with a comic edge, but after 100 films Jackie Chan has announced he is retiring as an action star.
The 58-year-old admitted he was 'too old' for stunts now and increasing violence in the wider world had put him off.
Asked why he had decided to stop making action films he said the physical strain had become too much.

He explained he felt 'really, really tired'.
Speaking at the launch of his new production Chinese Zodiac at the Cannes Film Festival, Chan said it would be his final performance as an action hero.
