Backstage at Cirque du Soleil’s new show, which both defies logic and is utterly real

Where’s Jaycee? Chan’s arrest leads to viral video game

Troubled Hong Kong actor Jaycee Chan, more famously known as the son of martial arts legend Jackie Chan, has starred in a new video game after being arrested on drug-related charges.

The game called “The National Search for Jaycee” spread like wildfire on popular Chinese messaging app WeChat. The game is available to play online, and has been accessed more than 60 million times since being released on Tuesday.

The aim is to spot Jaycee amongst a sea of pictures of Kai Ko, a Taiwanese movie star who was arrested as part of the same operation.

“It’s a great shame about his career but I had fun playing the game; it seemed pointless but proved to be very addictive,” one WeChat user said. “Spot Jaycee? It’s harder than finding Wally,” said another.
