Nong Pat's folks |are the best

 Bank regularly tells the press and repeats on the social media that Nina has been a great mummy to their baby Patrick since his birth in August. And Nina recently appeared alongside Bank on a Channel 7 show to declare that he “stopped smoking as soon as he learned I was pregnant”.

“Not only that, since Nong Pat’s birth he hardly ever goes out partying, and that’s really something because he loves going to parties!” 

Bank and Nina take turns tending to the little one. “He goes on duty at midnight, when he has to change the nappy,” says Nina, adding that she breastfeeds the baby earlier in the evening before heading off to bed.

 

 

Jackie at record speed

You can always count on extra sparkle when a new Jackie Chan movie opens. With “Chinese Zodiac”, it’s not one but two Guinness World Records – Most Credits in a Movie and the amusingly worded Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor. 

In one action scene he wears a “rolling suit” designed by French “rollerman” Jean-Yves Blondeau, which has 31 wheels strategically placed at key body points. The wearer can race along at up to 126 kilometres per hour. 

Chan had three months to get accustomed to the 17-kilogram outfit before shooting of the sequence began. The scene flashes by in the film, but it took 45 days to shoot. “I had to slide between the road and a car that was travelling fast,” he says. “I had to stay in perfect balance – otherwise the car would hit me. I know the scene gave all my staff a lot of stress, because I’m not Superman! But I was determined to do it.” 

Chan says he’s gone back to his action-packed basics in response to today’s typical Hollywood films with their computer-generated effects and massive budgets. He’d rather just do what he’s good at.
