JACKIE CHAN loved working with STEVE COOGAN on the set of AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS - because they would poke fun at each other's accents.
Chan and Coogan would often challenge each other to speak in a variety of different voices to fill breaks in filming.
And Chan admits he would attract laughter from the film crew when he tried out his posh English accent.
He tells Britain's Maxim magazine, "(Coogan) is very funny. He always teaches me English, until one day the director says, 'Cut! Jackie, speak English.'
"And I say, 'I am speaking English.' He says, 'No, you have to speak Jackie Chan English, not posh British English.'
"Every day with Coogan, I always make fun of him. 'Would you like caaarp orf teeeeea?' 'Well, orf coooooourse.'"
