Once upon a time, Jackie Chan made Bruce Lee cradle him in his arms.

When recounting his "best story ever" to George Stroumboulopoulos, the martial arts master recounted a time when he met his idol, and fellow legend Bruce Lee.

"When I was young and doing Under the Dragon fighting with Bruce Lee. I was behind the camera, waiting waiting. I just see Bruce 'Pow pow! Pow pow! The I just run up," the actor said.

From there, viewers really need to check out Chan tell the story for himself. Watch the video of the story below:

Even though the "Rush Hour" star lost that particular fight, he did actually win the moment. Chan really milked the moment for the most he could, like any young person would do when encountering their idol.

In other Jackie Chan news, the actor has confirmed that he is making a musical!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chan has confirmed that he is writing a stage performance based on his own life. The play will be adapted from his 1998 memoir I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action.

Chan will narrate the musical with his own voice. The storyline will focus on his parents' life, his education and rise to international martial arts superstardom.

"We are looking for a director for the musical right now," said Chan in a press conference.

Though the idea may sound odd, the musical is sure to have some stellar choreography. Between Chan's history performing with children's acrobatic group Seven Little Fortunes and all the martial arts fighting he's done over the years, the play is sure to be a spectacle.

There is no news on a name for the play or an expected release date or venue.
