Today my mother sent me my old children's photo. I don't remember exactly how old I was, but somewhere under 10 I think. Oooops, wait, it's year 1996. Then OK, I was eight:)
My grandfather took me in a trip. I had no idea where we were going, but loved adventures.
That's me. Seems like I already at 8 years old loved oversized cloth:) And yep, the whole trip was to meet Jackie Chan:)
Scene from the movie. The same yellow under jacket:
No need do say I ad no idea who that was. The movie "Police Story 4: First Strike" was parlty filmed in Ukraine, and my granddad knew it, and whished to make surprise for me.
I was a shy child, and my english was limited to few words, so I think when I was introduced to the actor I didn't even say "Hi".
By the way I also remebmer that my mom had a lot native english speakers friends when I was little. I remember then calling by phone, and if I picked it up I became scared and immidiately put the phone down. Then mpther explained me that it's nothing to fear, I can just ask who's that and then tell parents. But the only conversation that finally came out looked like this:
"The phone rang and I picked it up.
-Ednvsdlk vdslkvsv sdva vdsie!
I didn't catch a word, so I collected all my knowlenge of english together and asked:
-Could you please repeat slower?
-Hi! I-am-Robert!
-Who?
-Ro-ber-t!
Seriously, guys, for a year after that conversation I still was sure that it was "RO-BOT" calling..."
So, meeting an actor also was a confusing situation for me. Only a few years after I understood who that was and fell in love with his movies.
So the most memorable event happend after the meeting. We were driving home. As a child i always was swaying in the car (and still am, the only case when not is when I'm the driver). So I asked dranddad for a permission to... Run if front of the car.
Crazy stuff, yep.
But I was allowed to do it, haha:) Sure, the car was moving really slow. But since I tryed to run really fast I finally fell and met a acute stone with my forehead. Since then I still look like this:
Thank you for watching:)
Love, Inber
