Movie star Jackie Chan will receive an honorary Oscar statuette at the Academy’s 8th Annual Governors Awards to be held in November.

The decision was made by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science recently after voting to present the award to Chan.


The actor posted this on his Facebook: “It’s been 56 years since I filmed my first movie when I was six, and I’ve worked on over 200 films to date,” the posting said. “I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Oscars for giving me this award of encouragement and recognizing my achievements while I’m still ‘young.'”
