Jackie Chan Shocks Fans by Revealing Surprise Premier League Allegiance — Martial Arts Legend Caught With Signed Nottingham Forest Shirt, Sparks Frenzy Over His True Football Loyalty!

Jackie Chan Stuns Fans by Swapping Man City for Nottingham Forest in Surprise Shirt Reveal

Nottingham Forest’s growing list of high-profile supporters just got a blockbuster addition—martial arts icon and international movie star Jackie Chan appears to have joined the Reds’ ranks of celebrity fans.

Traditionally supported by sports personalities like golfer Lee Westwood, cricketer Stuart Broad, and boxer Carl Froch, Forest also counts musician James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers, comedy legend Sue Pollard, comedian Matt Forde, and Emmerdale’s James Hooton among its famous followers.

Now, Jackie Chan has seemingly thrown his star power behind the club.

As part of the promotional tour for his upcoming film *Karate Kid: Legends*, Chan appeared on Capital FM. During the broadcast, presenter and proud Forest fan Sian Welby encouraged Chan to reconsider his football allegiance—having previously professed a liking for Manchester City.

Her charm seemed to work.

An Instagram post from Capital FM captured the moment Chan was gifted a Nottingham Forest shirt, complete with his name printed on the back. The caption read: *“Chan is a fan! It’s official—Jackie Chan has defected from Man City to Nottingham Forest with the help of a very persuasive Sian Welby.”*

While the move may be more playful than permanent, it’s a PR win for Forest, especially with the club pushing for more international recognition as they aim to qualify for the UEFA Conference League group stage. Even though it’s not the Champions League, success in Europe’s third-tier competition could boost the club’s global appeal.

Whether Chan is a diehard fan or simply enjoying the moment, the spotlight is now firmly on Nottingham Forest. And with the club’s profile rising, perhaps more Hollywood heavyweights will soon follow in his footsteps.
