Jackie Chan became a stunt man because he wanted to.
Jackie Chan does not have one specific stunt man. He has his own stunt team called JC Stunt Team. The members vary as people come and go.

Jackie Chan worked very hard to be the very best he could be. He learnt a lot of different skills such as directing, choreography, stunt coordinator, stunt man, actor, editing, camera man and used all of those skills to make better movies.
Being a stunt double in Bruce Lee's movies. It started his career as a stunt man which lead to his career as a martial arts actor.
Besides being an actor, stunt man, stunt coordinator, director, cameraman, businessman, philanthropist, role model, and all round nice guy Jackie has been a constructor worker, a security guard, a waiter and had a job chopping vegetables.
Jackie Chan has achieved many things in his life. From a recent tongue-in-cheek list Jackie wrote about himself - he is an stunt man, kung fu practitioner, actor, kung fu director, playwright, director, singer, producer, business owner, philanthropist, and an international celebrity
Jackie Chan worked in movies from when he was only 8 years old as a child actor. Then he became a stuntman because of his training in Peking Opera at the China Drama Academy. He worked very hard to learn as many new skills as he could to become a stunt coordinator and actor but he still was not famous. He made several movies for a famous Hong Kong Director, Lo Wei, but Lo Wei tried to make Jackie to act like Bruce Lee. This did not suit Jackie's personality. He got a chance to show his own style when he made Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master. These two movies were so different because they had comedy in them that this is what made Jackie Chan a star.

Before he had his own films, Jackie worked as a stunt man so that was his first job. If you want to go back further though he did chinese Opera performances with the drama academy he grew up in. If you wanna know more get his autobiography, its brilliant :)
He played a stunt man in the Bruce Lee movie ''Fist of Fury'' in the scene where Bruce lee throws the guy through the wall into the garden near the pond. The guy you see flying through the ar is Jackie Chan as an 18 year old boy I believe.
NO!!!..........Bruce lee was trained by ip man and Jackie Chan was trained by the yuen Chinese opera school
