Jackie Chan has spoken out about his relationship with his son Jaycee.

The Kung-Fu star's son who is also an actor and a singer was released from a six-month prison sentence in February after pleading guilty to allowing others to use marijuana at his apartment in Beijing.

Chan said that his son's incarceration has been a good learning curve for him.

"Now he reads a lot of books, writes a lot of songs, watches a lot of TV and movies and writes a lot of scripts. Before that happened, everyday he'd just fly to Japan, fly to Taiwan to see friends. Maybe he'd take two days to ten day to write one song. Now he writes so many songs."

Chan says he is now looking for suitable movie projects for his son. In the meantime, the pair will be working together on the Kung-fu star's upcoming record which is set for release at the end of this year. Jaycee will produce the album and may even sing with his father on one track.

Earlier today it was revealed that Jackie Chan is the second highest paid actor in the world.

According to Forbes magazine's official yearly rankings, Chan is said to have made $50 million last year only being beaten by Robert Downey Jr.
