Throughout the afternoon, the audience did little to hide its enthusiasm for Chan, and the cries of "We love you Jackie," and the low, quick chant of "Jackie Chan" never died out.
In a later interview, Chan said, with a trace of weariness, that he has become as famous in America as in Hong Kong.
"I'm recognized always, walking down the street, even when its dark, even when I'm in front of someone. They'll say, 'Hey, that's Jackie Chan in front of me!' How can they know?'"
