When being asked about the current trending word "duang", Jackie Chan says it's fun, though he has no idea of how the word gets its popularity.
The word "duang" became an international sensation after Chinese netizens revealed an old shampoo advertisement featuring the Kungfu super star.
Though it is hard to explain the exact meaning of the word, many believe it can be used as an adjective to describe something with a special effect.
A Chinese character has even been created for "duang", which is a combination of the characters of Cheng and Long, the Mandarin name of Jackie Chan.
