Jackie Chan's son is in deep trouble as suspect in drug bust; father considers Jaycee Chan's drug arrest a disgrace.

Jackie Chan's son is recently popular in the press for all the wrong reasons; his father Jackie feels "very ashamed" of son Jaycee's drug rap.

Jaycee Chan was caught and booked for drug possession last week, when police announced they found 3.5 ounces of marijuana in his Beijing home.

Jackie Chan has released a letter addressed to the public, admonishing his son and owning his failures as a father.

In the letter posted on his official website, Jackie wrote:

"When I first heard the news, I was absolutely enraged.As a public figure, I feel very ashamed; as his dad, I'm very sad and disappointed. But the person who feels heartbroken the most is his mom."

"I hope our younger generation will learn from Jaycee's mistake and stay far away from drug abuse."

"I would like to take this opportunity and say to Jaycee: you've done something wrong and you have to be responsible for the consequences. I'm your dad and I'll always be with you. We will face the road ahead of us together."

"I should also take some of this responsibility because as his dad, I didn't teach him well."

"Therefore, on behalf of Jaycee and myself, I extend our deepest apologies to everyone for the negative impact this has caused on society. Thank you."

Jackie Chan's son was caught in drug possession with Taiwanese actor Kai Ko. Jaycee Chan's drug charges could mean jail time of three years under Chinese law.

There's irony in the recent turn of events, and Jackie Chan's shame is worsened considering his campaign against drug abuse. The "Rush Hour" star is China's anti-drug ambassador since 2009; Jackie Chan's son's involvement in a drug bust adds to short list of celebrities with family members involved in drugs, like Robert Downey and son Indio.
