"Jackie Chan," Roger Bailey said, as he reflected on his brush with a major star of the martial arts landscape - "but I didn't get a photo", he lamented.
A Napier man who is heavily into martial arts and knows many of the leading proponents of it was in no doubt as to who he saw sightseeing in the central city on Tuesday.
"Jackie Chan," Roger Bailey said, as he reflected on his brush with a major star of
the martial arts landscape - "but I didn't get a photo", he lamented.
"I had my phone on me and only thought about it later."
Mr Chan, 61, is a Hong Kong-based actor, director, singer and martial arts exponent who has starred in a string of films during his long international career.
Mr Bailey, who was working in the central city, has long been involved in the martial arts scene and taught it in the UK for 20 years. "It was definitely Jackie Chan - he was crossing Emerson St toward Starbucks - he was with his wife."
