Legendary actor Jackie Chan has revealed that he learned to speak English by listening to country music. The 71-year-old actor made the revelation on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where he shared his unique learning experience.

Chan, who reprised his role as Mr. Han in the recently released Karate Kid: Legends, struggled to understand directors on movie sets when he first moved to the US from Hong Kong. He relied on his dialogue coach to translate, but eventually learned to speak English by listening to country music.

"I learn English in country songs, because country songs [are] slow," Chan told Clarkson. He then serenaded Clarkson with a rendition of Willie Nelson's classic "Always on My Mind," which left the audience applauding.
