No, he is not an American citizen. Jackie Chan is a Hong Kong/Chinese citizen.
Jackie Chan was born Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, in Hong Kong, China. He is an actor, director and producer with unique blend of impressive martial arts and screwball physical comedy that has helped make him an international film star.
Chan scored his major breakthrough with the hit Drunken Master (1978) (aka "Drunken Master"), which has become a cult favorite among martial arts film fans.
