IShowSpeed is in China for his multi-week travel series and is planning to collaborate with popular actor Jackie Chan.
YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. revealed that he is setting up a collaboration stream with actor Jackie Chan. The streamer announced the collab during his first livestream in China on March 23, 2025. One of his viewers asked him if he would be willing to do a stream with Jackie Chan, and Speed responded, saying that a stream with Chan was already “in the works.”
Jackie Chan is one of the best-known actors in Asia. He started his career as a martial artist and stuntman before becoming a global star. After working in the Hong Kong movie industry in the 1970s, his popularity earned him a spot in Hollywood. The actor has become a controversial figure in recent years for his support of the Chinese government, but he remains a beloved actor for many.
IShowSpeed’s China tour is one of his most successful travel series so far. The streamer got over 9 million total views in less than 24 hours on his first stream on YouTube. The livestreams are averaging over 100,000 concurrent viewers on YouTube despite the website being banned. He also started a Douyin account to livestream to Chinese fans.

Jackie Chan is famous in China because a lot of his movies focus on patriotism and have ties to the Chinese government. He has a pro-China stance and supported the country amidst the Hong Kong riots in 2019. The actor was also the official Cultural Ambassador for the country and helped introduce Chinese culture to global media through movies like Rush Hour (1998) and Shanghai Noon (2000).
Speed Received Special Permission to Livestream on YouTube
When IShowSpeed first announced his travel series in China, many of his fans were concerned about censorship. YouTube is banned in China due to the “Great Firewall” censorship program in most of the country. Despite the ban, Speed’s team received permission to livestream on YouTube without any restrictions.
