IELTS Speaking Cue Card

There are many prominent foreign people that I know but now, I would like to talk about Jackie Chan, a popular actor. He is a Hollywood actor who gained critical acclaim for his diverse movie choices and talent. 

I am a movie lover and regularly watch action-packed films. His movie franchise Rush Hour is one of my favourite movie series and I have watched all the movie instalments released so far. Although the first movie was released in 1998, I started watching them in 2006 as a kid when the third movie came out, and I have revered him ever since. 

Ever since I was a child, I loved watching action thrillers and my father used to play Hollywood movies on DVDs every Saturday and that became a family routine. It was during one of those routines that I watched Rush Hour, and I was astounded by how charming Jackie Chan was. He is a very flexible man who always does his own stunts and choreographs the fights in his movies. He is composed and very nice and often meets his fans when he is outside. I get inspired by the down to earth and hardworking nature that he has even after achieving so much.

I commend his acting skills along with the extreme stunts he does in every movie. Besides, he is an intriguing person as he is a very fit person who has managed to perform physical stunts throughout the years. These activities coupled with his acting have made me his fan and I absolutely love his movies.
