Action star Jackie Chan has asked for public forgiveness after drunkenly swearing and disrupting a music concert.

Chan appeared at Taiwanese pop singer Jonathan Lee's concert in Hong Kong on Monday and unexpectedly jumped on stage before demanding a duet with him. Realizing his erratic behavior, Chan reportedly admitted that he was drunk before bowing and apologizing to the audience on stage.  

But he continued to try to conduct Lee's band, making them start and stop six times before he was satisfied with the music they were playing.  

Chan, who starred in the film Drunken Master, also swore and bellowed "shut up", much to the surprise of the unhappy audience which booed and hurled insults at the star. In return, he shouted back with another obscenity.

A rather embarrassed Rush Hour star later admitted to leading Hong Kong radio show host Candy Chea that he was drunk when he jumped on stage, explaining that he "forgot there were so many people watching". 

"But Chan also said this was his first time, and it had never happened before," Chea said.

Chea, who reported their conservation on her show yesterday, said the Rush Hour star told her that he had drunk too much that night.
