This is coming after pictures emerged of him looking old with white hair and a matching beard, and fans have been reacting.
Also reacting, Jackie wrote that his fans should not worry about his health at all because it was only a character appearance for his latest movie.
Chan added that the character required him to have white hair, white beard and look really old, so he did just that.
His words, “Even before today, many friends have been reminding me: “Jackie, it’s going to be your 70th birthday! Every time I hear this number, my heart would stop for a second – I’m 70 years old already?
After recovering from the shock, the second thing that would come to my mind is a saying that my big brother, Sammo Hung once said: “Being able to grow old is a fortunate thing.” Especially for us stunt people, we don’t know how lucky we are to be able to grow old.
Not so long ago, a lot of friends saw some recent photos of me on the internet, and they were all concerned about my health. I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know, don’t worry!
It’s just a character appearance for my latest movie. The character requires me to have white hair, white beard and look old.
Over the years, I’ve always been willing to try new things for a movie, no matter if it’s a challenging stunt or a breakthrough appearance for a character.
I’ve been in the entertainment business for 62 years and I cherish every moment because I’m lucky I’m still filming today.”
