Jackie Chan took to Instagram to reassure his fans that he is in good health, despite turning 70. He explained that he looks older than he is because of his role in an upcoming movie where the character he plays requires him to have white hair, a white beard, and look old. However, Chan remains healthy and thanked everyone for their concern about his well-being.
Aside from addressing his health, Chan also reflected on his recent birthday, sharing a series of throwback photos from his illustrious career. He expressed surprise at turning 70 but embraced the idea that growing old is a fortunate thing, especially for stunt people like himself. He thanked everyone for their birthday wishes and expressed well-wishes for everyone to stay happy and healthy.
While Chan did not reveal the specific role that required him to age for the upcoming movie, he is set to appear in the next Karate Kid installment to be released in December. He will be reprising his role alongside Ralph Macchio from the beloved 1984 film. The movie is highly anticipated by fans of the original and continues Chan’s legacy in the world of martial arts cinema.
