It was a move that no one saw coming but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. The veteran actor and martial arts superstar is actually trending for promoting Shopee’s 9.9 sales event. In the promotional video, Chan is seen wearing the brand’s signature orange outfit and dancing to a fun jingle. He even spoke Tagalog for the local version of the ad: “Bili na sa Shopee. Salamat, Shopee!”

In a statement, Shopee Philippines also said that this adorable video is only the start. Chan will also be featured in in-app content including entertainment and games.

How long has it been since we last had this man grace our screens? Too long, we think. That’s why some netizens had funny reactions to the news. Here are just some of them:

Nostalgia hits

Jacky Chan doing baby shark. 😂 But in fairness Jackie Chan always evokes such feel good feelings in all of us. Our childhood is molded by Kungfu and Karate and Shaolin masters on the big screen lol! Nice seeing him. https://t.co/0lJJe6XNHT

It’s the Hollywood legend we didn’t think we needed.

It might not be the Mr. Chan we’re expecting to grace our screens in time for the -ber months but at least Jackie Chan made us smile today. (And for the next couple of months when you can’t skip that YouTube ad too).
