Action star Jackie Chan has left imprints of his hands and feet in cement at Hollywood's Chinese Theatre for a second time after his previous prints were lost.
Chan, 59, whose career has spanned 40 years, first left imprints in the theatre forecourt in 1997, reported BBC online.
But the cement slab featuring Chan's prints has since disappeared.
"Twelve years ago I did the handprint, but somebody stole it. That's the second time. I really want to thank you," said Chan.
However, representatives at the newly named TCL Chinese Theatre, previously known as Grauman's Chinese Theatre, said they did not know when the prints vanished but were sure that the slab was not stolen.
Chan said that he had first dreamed of having his prints in cement at the theatre when he was invited to a ceremony featuring Sylvester Stallone in 1993.
"My first time in the Chinese Theatre, I walked on the red carpet... And I saw so many stars doing the interviews. And at that time I had nothing to do, standing there looking around.
