This darker side of Chan, in contrast to the reliable, solid, upright characters he portrays on screen, also included treating women badly in his younger days. According to the excerpts published in The Daily Mail, he used to visit prostitutes and drive even when he was drunk.
Once, he crashed a Porsche in the morning, and a Mercedes Benz later at night. When Chan, now 64, started a relationship with Lin, he was fearful that she could be after his money, and later broke her heart when he had an affair with actress and former Miss Asia Elaine Ng.
In the book, he blames his behaviour on his insecurities and immaturity. Because he did not focus on studies, his father sent him at a young age to a school where he was forced to pick up martial arts, among other activities. Even when Chan got jobs as a stuntman, he splurged the money on gambling and prostitutes.
