Page 163 reported that on March 13, Jackie Chan attended a cultural event in Luzhou, Sichuan, China. Appearing on the show, the martial arts star surprised everyone with his old, tired appearance and lack of energy.
Jackie Chan surprised everyone with his white beard and hair.
According to 163, Jackie Chan often appears with black hair, a smile on his lips, and a cheerful mental state. At the end of 2023, he starred in the movie Long Ma Tinh Than, showing off his agile martial arts moves. Therefore, the image of the actor with a long beard and white hair surprised many people.
"Although he has reached the age of 70, Jackie Chan still shows his vitality every time he appears in the media. However, the new image of the martial arts star has become strange. Jackie Chan suddenly looks older, making fans worried, especially in 2023, when audiences witnessed the passing of many veteran artists," wrote page 163 .
The source also commented that the generation of famous Chinese martial arts actors has reached a rare age. Among them, Sammo Hung has been in a wheelchair for many years, and Jet Li has temporarily put his career on hold to treat his illness and spend time with his family.
Jackie Chan is a rare 5X, 6X generation star who is still working hard in the arts, with new projects regularly. However, time has now caught up with the big brother of the Chinese entertainment industry. In recent films, Jackie Chan has limited martial arts scenes, focusing on expressing the psychological depth of the character.
A year ago, the actor was still in good health.
On the other hand, Jackie Chan's film career has also declined in the past few years. According to QQ, in 6 years, Jackie Chan has produced 6 consecutive films, with a budget of several hundred million USD. However, his products have all been loss-making, and the Jackie Chan brand has lost its appeal.
The actor admitted to losing 1.9 billion yuan (over 260 million USD) due to failed film projects such as The Foreigner, which lost 300 million yuan, and Detective Pu Songling, which only earned 160 million yuan, but cost 350 million yuan to produce. The Secret Seal of the Dragon, which also co-starred with Hollywood stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Dance, earned only 9.19 million USD at the global box office, while the production cost was 50 million USD, resulting in a loss of more than 45 million USD.
Jackie Chan has three upcoming projects: Legend - the sequel to the classic film Mythology , which was loved by audiences, the project Plan P , which has just started filming, and the animated film Panda Agent, which he plans to collaborate with Wu Jing.
