So, we guess the saying is true; you can do anything when you have the money.

Fresh off imitating the late Michael Jackson during a recent company party, Chinese billionaire Jack Ma has assumed a new role: a world-class martial artist.

The 53-year-old tech wizard displayed his acting chops - and martial arts skills! - in a short film called Gong Shou Dao (which translates to The Art of Attack and Defence).

The 20-minute short film was executively produced by none other than kungfu legend Jet Li.

In the film, the founder of e-commerce site Alibab uses tai chi to duel with big-named international martial artists such as Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen, Thai action star Tony Jaa and of course, Jet Li himself.

That's a pretty impressive line-up, we have to say.


The entire film was uploaded on Jet Li's official Facebook page on Monday, and has since raked in more than one million views and 17,000 shares.

If you have 20 minutes to waste this afternoon, you can watch the movie here:


We're pretty bummed out that Jackie Chan is not in the film, though.
