in the forests of hong kong
there is a guy who looks like tarzan
lives like tarzan eats like tarzan
and runs like tarzan
[Applause]
who is this guy why doesn't he live in a
city
and when was the last time he got a
haircut
[Music]
when i was in hong kong i met a lot
of locals don't worry
this was before kovin as we were
chatting
one woman told me that her friend is
like the real life version of tarzan
but better it sounded like fake news to
me
so i thought i'd go visit him myself
perfect oh my god hello how are you
we're going to whatever the cooper said
so i took a boat to one of the many
islands of hong kong
and once i got there i started looking
around
for this real-life tarzan
as i got closer to the beach i spotted a
house
made of trash it was unlike
anything i had seen and in it
i found the guy i was looking for
hello my name is jason and i love my
life
see years ago jason used to live
in the philippines with his mom but as a
child
his life was anything but easy i had
a tough childhood since he was poor
jason had to learn to find joy in the
small things
like climbing trees going swimming
and eating mango fruits i remember my
first toys i made by myself
so until i grew up from the kids you
know
era i don't experience anything like
games that
from i love him you know remotely
but soon after his mom passed away
and jason found himself alone and
homeless
[Music]
as a little boy with nowhere to go he
started
living in churches and metro stations
until
one day life gave him a second chance
and he got adopted you're getting
emotional aren't you
yes you are oh sorry man
as the years went by he moved to hong
kong
and was now living a normal life just
like you
and me but the more he tried to settle
in
as an adult the more he missed being
truly happy like a child
city life it's not for me and i don't
know i
try all the best i can do but doesn't
work for me
and so he made a decision he was going
to leave
his job and his city to become
free again and what better place to do
that
than the jungle
[Music]
so he built this unique house with his
friend
using plastic bottles dead trees and
beach garbage
not a single tree's been cut to make
this house
here it's all flowing movements he
started growing his
own produce and did everything he loved
such as playing music dancing
climbing and swimming he even stopped
cutting his hair my hair is my source of
my energy and i will never never cut it
jason again found joy in the small
things
just like he did when he was a child
wake up it's early in the morning so
beautiful
the kids are playing dancing already
and as his story became popular it
eventually
reached disney yes disney
they hired him to play tarzan at their
disney shows
so today he gets to live his dream life
and make money too wow
the i of living in the jungle and
growing your own hair
might sound crazy but for
this guy the jungle is his happy place
it is where he could be young wild
and free again
