VietNamNet Bridge – Kung fu star Jackie Chan arrived at Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport just as the Danish royal party left – creating a tall order for a specially strengthened airport security.

In fact security was so tight that both reporters and fans were unable to approach the action movie hero.

After the long flight, Jackie didn’t go to his hotel but instead paid a visit to harelip and cleft-palate children at the Vietnam-Cuba Hospital, with Miss Vietnam 2006 Mai Phuong Thuy.

Both children and parents gathered at the hospital to welcome Jackie, the Ambassador of Operation Smile International. He was reported to have been very friendly posing for photographs and shaking hands.

He spent even more time with one crying boy – eventually managing to stop his tears.

He later attended a press conference at the International Hanoi Westlake Hotel and is set to attend a function with Vietnamese officials and American representatives.

Also attending will be Miss Vietnam 2006 Mai Phuong Thuy, Ambassador of Smile Ly Nha Ky and pop stars My Tam and Dam Vinh Hung. The event will showcase the work of Operation Smile.
