Jackie Chan's son, Jaycee Chan, was arrested for drug possession and served 6 months in prison.
Jackie Chan publicly apologized immediately: "I failed as a parent, I am very ashamed." He didn't use connections or bail, and let his son serve his time honestly. As the anti-drug ambassador at the time, Jackie Chan faced a huge public backlash because his son was involved in drugs, but many people believed Jackie Chan's attitude was sincere and responsible.
