HONG KONG - When the owner of a hostel in Mong Kok in Hong Kong asked for payment, the guest could hand over only HK$20 (S$3.50).
The 19-year-old - whom the owner found out only later was Jackie Chan's estranged daughter Etta Ng - said that amount was all she had.
She and the other guest - Andi Autumn, 31, a social media influencer, whom she married last month in Canada - had chalked up a bill of HK$2,250 for a five-night stay.
The owner, who said she was informed by the duo that they were models, told reporters last week that they would emerge from their room only at about 4pm or 5pm each day to get food.
The couple had returned to Hong Kong from Canada.
The owner added that the room was littered with food boxes and trash, reported Apple Daily.
After the pair were asked to leave, they went to seek help at the home of Ng's mother - former Miss Asia Elaine Ng - whose affair with action star Chan made headlines in 1999.

Elaine Ng was later seen driving the couple to a bank to withdraw money.
In an interview with Apple Daily, Etta Ng said she does not need a lifeline from Chan.
The actor, 64, who is married to former Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-jiao, does not mention Etta Ng in his recent autobiography Never Grow Up, though he acknowledges that he had an affair.
"I don't think of him as a bad or a good person because I really don't know him," said Etta Ng.
"If I don't really know someone, I can't judge them. I know when I was young, I would have said some impulsive things, but now I'm a bit more level-headed."
But she herself could not escape being judged by others.
"It was really weird because when I was born, everyone knew who I was. I didn't even know who I was and everyone was following every move I made to see how I'd turn out.

"People thought I had a relationship with my dad, so everyone kept saying 'she's a rich girl'."
She also brushed off talk that Autumn had befriended her because of the latter's assumption that she had money.
Etta Ng hopes that her mother - whom she describes as traditional - can come to terms with her marriage to Autumn and not refer to the latter as just her daughter's "friend".
Meanwhile, Etta Ng hopes to make her own impact by setting up a creative agency in Hong Kong with Autumn.
"My last name was never Chan," she said of her desire to step out from the star's shadow.

Action star Jackie Chan's teen daughter Etta Ng, who made waves online for coming out as a lesbian, has now taken to YouTube to plead for help.
In October 2017, Ng said she identified as a lesbian and posted pictures with her girlfriend, social media personality Andi Autumn.
Ng is the lovechild of Chan with beauty queen Elaine Ng. Although she has refused to acknowledge the actor as her father, she used his name in introducing herself in the somber video where she and her girlfriend ask for assistance on their living situation.

"Hi I'm Jackie Chan's daughter and this is my girlfriend Andi," she begins in the video, where the two appear tired and disheveled.
"We've been homeless for a month due to homophobic parents. We pretty much slept under a bridge, and other things."
"I've asked all my friends for help," Andi says. "I've asked all my family for help. Everyone just keeps sending us to the direction of shelters, where they know we will be split up. We will be split up if we have to go to any kind of government facilities."

"No one on my Facebook is going to listen to me and now no one is responding to my phone calls," Andi adds in exasperation.
In a frustrated tone, Ng says, "I don't even understand. We've gone to the police, we've gone to the hospital, the food banks, LGBTQ community shelters and all of them just don't give a sh*t."
"Two people in love that share true love are trying not to get split apart and they're trying to f*ck us over just because - what, I don't understand it - I love her, I love you."
"We want to let people know what's going on because at this point it seems ridiculous that no one can help. I don't understand," she concludes.
