I'm wondering because my friend doesn't believe that we found a picture of Jackie Chan in a chinese newspaper and I can't read it.

陳港生/陈港生 is his official name registered for identity card, but Chinese newspaper will always use his other name 成龍/成龙.



房仕龍/房仕龙 is his real name, 元樓/元楼 and 大哥/大哥 is his other name, but I never see any of these names used in newspaper because it's not common for public.



Most Chinese people like me only know his name by 成龍/成龙.



*For all Chinese characters I'm writing here, first one is in Traditional Chinese, following by Simplified Chinese. Depends on which newspaper you're reading.



Cheers~ ^^
