Social Media reacts to shocking image of Jet Li
Updated | By East Coast Urban
Remember Jet Li, the action star known for his very physical roles in films like 'Romeo Must Die', 'Kiss Of The Dragon', and 'The One'? Well, the star has been having some health issues and is now barely recognisable.
Jet Li, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan are some of the firsts martial arts turned action movie stars that took the world by storm.
What made the trio even greater was that they often performed their own stunts - stunts that are very dangerous and that many Hollywood blockbluster action films hire professional stuntmen and stuntwomen for.
Pictured below, the legendary duo Jet Li and Jackie Chan:
We have not seen much from Li in terms of films of late. His last major film was when he joined fellow action heroes for 'The Expendables', which was lead by Silvester Stallone.
An image shared by a fan of Jet Li this week has caused concern from many fans.
According to The Washington Post, Li’s manager, Steven Chasman, said that it was just a bad photo of someone who is 55 years old.
He has hyperthyroidism that he’s been dealing with for almost 10 years. It’s nothing life-threatening and he’s dealing with it.- Steven Chasman
