Jackie Chan has confessed that he will allow his body to decide when to quit and declare retirement.

The 59-year-old actor said that when he was 40-something, the media would regularly question him about his retirement and he would always reply with the same answer - another five years, China Daily reported.

However, 'The Tuxedo' star explained that he was going to be 60 in another six months and unlike earlier times, he becomes tired and even gets hurt while performing the stunts.

Chan also joked that he can continue his career in Hollywood only if the audience forgives him for using a body double for his acrobatic scenes, as everyone has typecasted him with only one genre of films- action-comedy.
